One of the first things the Doctor asked him was what his diet was like, and if he ate a lot of red meat. His diet is pretty healthy, but he doesn't really eat much red meat. That is my fault! I have never liked the taste or texture of red meat much, especially the hearty things like steaks and roasts. Unfortunately for Mike, this meant that dinners have not really consisted of any red meat since we have been living on our own. The Doctor advised him that he needed to add red meat into his diet, as well as trying to incorporate other iron rich foods.
First of all I felt horrible that I had been depriving his body of something he obviously needed, but now that we know I have made it a mission to cook at least 3 meals a week with red meat. This is going to be a difficult challenge for me because I have no idea how to cook it, or what it's supposed to taste like.
I went straight to the grocery store and bought a whole bunch of beef and pork, and I'm actually excited to learn how to cook it, and try some new recipes. I may even end up liking it now!
Here are a few meals I've made with beef so far:
 |
| Spaghetti with meat sauce |
 |
| Added spinach to the sauce for extra nutrients |
 |
| Marinated beef strips and made an Asian style stir fry |
