I use a lot of spices and herbs, finding we don't miss salt and keeps meals interesting. I made cheese "steak" sandwiches tonight and used mushrooms instead of beef. My husband has no idea and simply thought I cooked the meat too long and was a different consistency. Amazing what a few spices will do. He is a meat eater.

The down side to my preference for not being a carnivore is my iron and Vitamin D are low. I have to take supplements and have blood work done every 6 months. I've never been a big meat eater and have always had issues with iron.

Now I just wish I didn't care for Snicker Bars and wine. (Not together!)

Good topic. Thanks for beginning a thread that is simply opinion and nobody is right or wrong.
You're welcome, and thank you for your thoughts, OBXNana. And I think I will not try the Snickers and wine together either!
