I create recipes in healthy ways to pump up the flavors of my vegetarian fare for both myself, and my carnivore loving husband.
I roast tomatoes, carrots, and squash until they caramelize in their own sugars. I simmer leeks in a splash of olive oil until they turn a crispy brown, and toast pumpkin seeds with warm spices.
Pretty soon, Myles is piling more of my vegetarian ‘horse food’ alongside his meat. I watch as he goes back for seconds. It's taken over two years from the time I broke the news to him, but we were finally eating roughly the same meal together again.
