Flexitarian
Chef Dave Snyder’s Summer Produce
I am a Flexitarian! People tend to laugh at me when asked what that means so I decided to use this word for today’s post. As a flexitarian I choose what I want to eat. I believe it means that I am a conscious eater. I want to know where my food comes from and how it was raised. I prefer organic produce, locally grown and in season. I do not want to buy scallions from Mexico or fruit from any place that is not within 100 miles of our home. In the instance of meat, which I very rarely consume any longer, I want to know how and where it was raised. Grass fed beef that did not go through a slaughterhouse is my preference. I can hardly bring myself to eat pork any long but will on occasion. Chicken is still on the regular menu…one to two times a week. But my favorite form of lean protein remains fish and seafood. Living in the mecca of extraordinary food makes my choices very easy. I have learned how to make a mean black bean burger and all sorts of meat substitutes that are easy and delicious. I’ll share more about my choices and the impact they have on my overall health. I feel great so something must be working! Here’s to healthy eating!

and that’s just getting started~somewhere amid mother, wife, and toe nail painter, original Texan, and pet lover; the flex will always remind me of how flexible you are
