There are many different buzz words that explain this phenomenon: flexitarian, semi-vegetarian, and week day vegetarian; where you only eat meat on the week-ends. But anyway you want to say it, you are cutting back on the meat you eat. Some do it for health reasons, animal rights, the environment or all of the above!

Ahhh Spring!

   I got some great fresh vegetables at the store for good prices.   And being in the northeast we had a seventy degree day.  It was so nice and I had the day off!!! I had to get my grill out... Fresh vegetables and  warm weather.

I got some beautiful zucchini, asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes and a bag of onions.  So I cut the cucumber, a tomato and a onion for a salad. I drizzled some Italian dressing over them.  I eat that as my salad then began dinner..

I also made some more Italian dressing to marinate some beautiful zucchini and asparagus for a hour. or more...  I think I cooked them around 10 minutes on each side but maybe more.

For dessert I grill some fresh pineapple slices.  I forgot the brown sugar to sprinkle on the slices.  I remember after the slice hit the grill I thought no biggie I add it after.  I forgot that too... well it didn't need it. The pineapple slices where so good they didn't need any brown sugar...

It was one of those meals that after you say OMG that was so good....
