thank you everyone for your lovely comments! i think as everyone of us here is a mother, i see that the most important thing is we care about what we are feeding our families and that speaks volumes!

I have very similar thoughts. My kids LOVE meat. I am doing my best at providing only “good” meat for them. I could go either way. Somedays I am vegan, somedays vegetarian, somedays a carnivore. I am so undecided : )

Thanks for the reminder! So often, I assume that everyone has the opportunity to eat like my family does – fresh, local food. You truly are very, very lucky…

PS: Picked up “The River Cottage Family Cookbook” at the library per your suggestion – love it! Thanks for the tip!

Mmm. That pot pie mix looks yummy. Love the pic of you in your apron ~ cute!

So glad your girls are learning where food comes from. So many youth today have no idea.

I grew up on a farm so I got to experience the whole life cycle. Sometimes it was hard for me to see the animals go off to the meat plant for processing. Ah, but just a part of life, right?

I could almost be vegetarian. Once-in-a-while I just gotta have a big, juicy burger though. We eat veg meals 2-3 nights/week easily. Gotta watch our girlish figures, right?

That is lucky. And that pot-pie mixture looks delicious! We have a local chicken farmer nearby as well. I have yet to purchase a chicken from her though…you have to call and order…and I just can’t seem to get it together enough to DO it! Plus, I have two whole chickens in my freezer that I need to prepare first…can’t be wasteful! As far as eating 2-3 vegan meals a week…they say it’s good for you, and your budget, to cut back on the meat. So that sounds like the perfect idea!

How cute you are in your apron!
o.k. so you have a vegetarian reader here ; )
I have been since pretty much birth lol, so I am now feeling a bit queasy but if you are going to eat meat I respect the way that you are doing it… umm did I just say that?? anyway, it is so good for our children to make these decisions for themselves and to see just where it all truly comes from and exactly what they are ’signing up’ for. Check out the Moosewood cookbooks!! *ahem* ; ) I am teasing you!
