compromising

I understand that my family doesn't want to be veggie heads like me... but we are learning we have to compromise when it comes to meal time.

On the road it is hard - we came into problems yesterday because not many fastfood resturants cater to vegaterians. So the guys wanted to stop at Wendy's to eat. Yes they do have baked potatoes but I am sooooo sick of potatoes - it seems that the only thing I can eat at places like that are french fries or baked potatoes if they have them and then what they call salad. YUCK! I told the boys that I would rather lick the floor then eat anymore fastfood resturant salads - they thought that was funny -I did not, However daddy agreed with me. They are nasty.

So I sat there while the boys ate, then we hoped in the car and daddy made a stop at Taco Bell for me. Probably not the best food on the market but at least I got some beans and rice. I must give a round of applause to Taco Bell for they are very accomidating to veggie heads... Did you know that you can get anything on the menu and replace the meat with beans. It makes my life easier. (daddy's not big on the bell but the kids are so when it's just the 3 of us- we make a border run!)

To work out some of the details of a compromise I am working on a menu plan to where I only have to really cook one meal- and then add their meat to it. I hope to have it done here soon so I can go shopping. Hubby just went to the store and bought stuff to grill tonight- porkchops for them and mushrooms for me- So sweet.
