Less Meat, More Flavor
So you can cut back on meat and stay on budget. But there’s the husband situation. My husband was born and raised in Texas and routinely refers to a black bean dish I make (a dish that contains both bacon a chorizo, a spicy sausage) as “vegetarian.”
“I think it happens with men a lot, where they feel threatened incorporating soy products into their diet,” says Bruneau. “It’s like you’re wanting to change everything about them by handing them a plate of something they’ve never had before.” While my husband is pretty open to new things and has eaten (gasp) tofu without complaining, he still thinks of meat as being the center of the plate.
