the grass is always greener...

The daughter has decided to go off meat (red & white) in her diet again. Yes, she tried it once before but gave in when the dad decided to play the devil's advocate and tempt her with fajitas and steak burgers at Hard Rock Cafe. But since she watched Supersize Me, she swore off meat and decided to get her proteins from beans, tofu and such...

So, this time around the hubby is not too concerned as she is still taking her fish & other seafood. And this time around, she made me stop when I started listing all the foods that she will be able to eat anymore namely her faves like lasagna, beef stroganoff, the fajitas, steak (yeah you guessed it, at HRC), chicken rice...and the list goes on. Such evil parents she has, you say. Yeah, yeah wait till you are in my shoes.

Anyways, we discovered some new vegetarian restaurants minus the hubby of course. He's not too big on the idea of eating veg, vegetarian meat & tofu. He needs his share of carnivorous intake, thank you very much. So now I am at wits end on what to feed that daughter of mine. Is it a phase she is going through? I really have no idea but we just take it as it comes (and goes) along like we do so many others.

Ventured into a stall selling vegetarian stuff this morning at the market and packed home pandan chicken, chicken wings & prawns all in inverted commas of course. The lady who sells it swears it taste like the real thing and says it's yummy (duh!! she would say that of course).

Anyone got any ideas on what vegetarian dishes I can prepare? Must not be too complicated of course. Now excuse me while I go and mow the grass....
