It may seem that I'm a little obsessed with food lately with 3 days worth of rapid fire food related posts, well what can I say, guilty! And today's post is no exception! Now that I have made changes in my own diet, we as a family have become the most difficult family to have over for dinner. Bryn with his carb-free diet and it's taken our family 10 years to get used to all the things he doesn't eat. Now here's me, practically the opposite as him, with an almost vegan diet (I say almost because there are times I occasionally eat cheese). One of my biggest challenges at the moment is that our family doesn't know the difference between vegetarian & vegan, as well, the misconception that if something pre-made is vegetarian then it must be healthy. I'm taking my time and exercising my patience as we all walk this uphill hike together. It's all good and the great positive thing about it is that I get to help educate the ones I love about a healthier way of nourishing our bodies.
So this evening we are going to my inlaws for dinner and it's going to be great! My step-mother inlaw is always so accommodating to everyone's needs, which admittedly can't be easy for her with all the diet restrictions but that's the awesomeness of family.
Here's the menu:
BBQ Chicken Wings
Ceasar Salad (one batch without croutons & one with)
BBQ marinated Portabello Mushrooms (for me)
Black Bean, Chickpea & Avocado Salad (again for me)
there may be a veggie pasta (artichoke canelloni or lasagne)
& there will be wine :)
I am bringing both dishes that are tagged for me but I don't mind because everybody can have some and they might even like it too!
