They are worried that their son and grandchildren aren&#8217;t getting enough iron and protein. Yes, it does sting a little that they aren&#8217;t grateful that I cook for them at all. I&#8217;m not going to lie.\u00a0But in\u00a0their defense, they are sweet about adding wonderful veggies and grains and other sides without which, we would surely\u00a0starve. The reason for their concern, is that we have decided to &#8220;eat meat sparingly&#8221;. Oh the horror! My name is Bianca and my family and I\u00a0eat meat sparingly. So far we do not have any protein deficiency symptoms, but we have received many blessings since\u00a0we began, over a year ago. We have not been sick as much, and we have been inspired a lot more. The fact is, I&#8217;ve learned to use my food storage and we have enjoyed better health then we ever have. I&#8217;m not recommending this to anyone or anything on account that we all know what happens to people who do&#8230;just ask Oprah. I&#8217;m just saying is all. But if you want to try eating less meat on the down-low, There is a great book put out by the Church in 1978 and it has some very fun recipes.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chasingmolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/ChurchFoodStoragebooklet.pdf\">Recipes Click Here<\/a>\u00a0or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onelovelylife.com\/?cat=14\">OneLovelyLife.com.<\/a> This\u00a0LDS\u00a0Sister\u00a0has a &#8220;Meatless Monday&#8221; section\u00a0that is filled with\u00a0yummy recipes. \u00a0And if you are worried about a lack of protein, read the <a href=\"http:\/\/lds.org\/scriptures\/dc-testament\/dc\/89?lang=eng\">Word of Wisdom<\/a>, and have a little faith.
