The Bottom Line
My teenage son bet a girl in his class that he could refrain from eating meat longer than she could. He won the bet, and I won a vegetarian to feed in my home. It has been a bit challenging for me to plan and prepare varied nutritious and delicious meatless meals for him each day. So I was thrilled when ESRA's Meatless Meals cookbook arrived! The dishes I prepared from the book were inhaled by my son as well as my other children. Now every time I need to think of a vegie dish to add to the menu, I have my source!
