For as long as I can remember, I have always had an aversion to meat. Am I opposed to meat? Not at all. But sometimes I just want a big veggie-full dinner. I grew up in a family of carnivores and my husband’s family were beef farmers. They consider veggies a side dish, not the main event.

I did some research and fell upon a book called recipe page for different meal ideas.
