RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Currently I'm a stay at home mom (and loving it!) looking for healthy recipes. I am a recent vegetarian convert and yogi. Thought I'd stop eating meat while doing yoga but think it will be a lifetime change. Rest of family is not following suit. They are pretty good at eating whatever I make for them with these exceptions: our youngest doesn't like vegetables, his big brother doesn't like fish and his big sister won't even try tofu or tempeh. Dad is the disposal who cleans up after everyone! That's our family and my mealtime challenge in a nutshell. Life is definitely interesting.
