It's Summer!

Yes here in the Soutwest it is summer. Full blown, without a doubt, 100+ degree temperatures, summertime. It's great! The best part about summer for me is the fruit! Ok the veggies too. I went to Whole Foods today. The sights and smells when I walked in were wonderful! It makes me so happy! I bought pineapple, watermelon, berries, corn, asparagus, and radishes. In my head all I could think about was all the yummy stuff I could make and how much I didn't miss meat in my diet. Look at what I would miss out on!

So, I have company coming in for Memorial Day weekend. This is the first time I've ever had house guests since I've been married and since I started my journey to vegetarianism. Needless to say I'm nervous. I was worried about what to have in my kitchen and what to make for dinners and lunch while they are here. You see, my house guests are friends of my Dear Hubby. DH and the visiting husband have been friends for years. The visiting husband comes from a family of cattle ranchers. He isn't exactly fond of those that are vegetarians. I am worried. Like I said before only a few people, ok 2, know about my desire to be a vegetarian. I don't really know how to tell people, especially my family. It would be the equivalent of telling them that I suddenly want to become a man. Anyway, I've got some of our favorite vegetarian receipes ready. Wish me luck for this weekend!
