I'm not vegetarian but I learned to cook delicious food without meat, poultry or fish because my children decided that they were vegetarian at a very early age. My daughter was also lactose intolerant so I was definitely challenged. I, myself, will eat free range and organic meat, poulty and fish. Anything wild that has been prepared lovingly by friends and family.

I'm now exploring oils (especially the Omega brand).

Christmas? Substitute mushrooms, nuts, lentils, cheeses, etc. We had it all because there were always so many special diets going on.

Big Tim: You are a very lucky man. Be nice to your wife. I don't know too many men who are presented with a menu, let alone such a delicious and healthy menu. I envy you. Does she have a brother?
