This morning was designated Documentary Monday. We started out by watching animal fact videos on YouTube, and then moved into the documentary list on Netflix. There were so many to choose from, and our second show was Vegucation (getvegucated.com). I thought it would be eye opening, and might help me convince my middle kiddo to embrace our meatless meals (she has an aversion to legumes). It worked!
We have talked many times about going meatless. This documentary pushed us past vegetarianism into veganism. This is something I've never done (I did have a pollo-vegetarian phase during high school and college) and while it is a bit daunting, I'm definitely up for the challenge. I love cooking and trying new recipes, and now we'll be trying new recipes with new ingredients.
The first task was cleaning out the pantry, fridge and freezer. We have several bags of food that we're looking to re-home. We tried to eat pretty healthy before, so the kids were happy to see that a lot of our pantry items are still there.
We currently have veggies simmering into a delicious smelling broth for our lentil taco recipe, which will be our first, official herbivore meal this evening.
The next step is a trip to the grocery store. As Daddio says, "Wish us luck!" :)
