My oldest son recently sprung it on me that he wasnt eating meat anymore- before i had a chance to stock up on vegetarian foods or learn how to make them, much less get the rest of the family to eat "that stuff" (as my carnivore hubby and younger kids call it!) so i got a little creative with what i had on hand, and managed to come up with a hit! here's hopin i can do it again!!!
