Vegetarian Update
My veggie diet does not seem to be working. The family is not on-board, so that could be a problem. When there are leftovers, I can't let them go to waste. I have to eat them. All those frozen chicken chimichanga's in the fridge need to be eaten too. And when we go out to a restaurant... You know how few places you can go to get actually vegetarian meals?
So, I've altered my plan a bit. I'm limiting my meat intake. That is not all that difficult. The pyramid says I should be eating 7 ounces of protein a day. Some days I eat no meat. Most days I'm below the 7 ounces. Today I made dinner, so it was vegetarian. It went over well. Elizabeth said it was really good. I thought it was ok, but I'd like to futz with the recipe a little and make it better.
It was called "Sweet Potato Cakes." I'll give the full recipe after I futz with it and see if I can make it better, but it was shredded sweet potato, carrot, zucchini and potato, seasoned and held together with egg and flour and then pan fried. They did not stick together well enough for my taste, so I'm gonna see if I can fix that. Also, since they have egg, they may not technically qualify as veggie. Definitely not vegan. I'll post the final recipe here for your enjoyment.
