Cindy: Fall Veggies Hard To Beet

I’m in the midst of my annual identity crisis.Every autumn when area gardens burst with bounty, I toy with the idea of turning in my carnivore card and embracing vegetarianism. Crunchy carrots, tasty tomatoes and succulent squash please my palate. After gorging on garden goodness, I have no room for meatloaf or chicken cacciatore. My sons, though, tremble at the thought of a vegetarian mother. They tolerate meatless Mondays, but the thought of living without Sunday pot roast, Thanksgiving turkey and birthday beef stroganoff makes them woozy – and whiny.It’s probably my fault. I frightened them a few times by telling them their enchiladas were stuffed with tofu/ Cindy Hval , SR Front Porch. More here.
