Between viewing Forks Over Knives cooking a super greasy pot roast, and seeing nutritional information on a package of grass-fed beef (20g of fat per serving!!), I believe my days of red meat are over. In fact, I believe I’ll be phasing out animal products in general. However, I grew up in a meat-and-potato household. In any given week of the five dinners I cook, 3-4 are meat based meals. I eat tuna for lunch at least once a week. Oh, and I really love cheese. While incredibly worthwhile, this will not be an easy transition to a plant-based diet.
First, I really hate throwing food away so we’ll use up the blatant animal products we have at the house, including several cheeses, a flank steak, and tuna.
Then, I’ll work to build a stock of plant-based meals from which I can easily build a menu.
Last, I’ll continue shopping more consciously for whole and vegan foods.
