I’ve been married for five years and my husband and I have a lot in common. We both enjoy playing videos games, traveling, and watching movies. One thing that we don’t have in common is our diet choices. I’ve been a vegetarian for about two years now and, he’s an omnivore. When it comes to picking restaurants and meal planning it is difficult to find common ground. In the beginning, it wasn’t an easy task trying to make our mixed diet household work. I found myself often not knowing what to prepare for meals or what restaurants to dine at.
