I'm the same way. I only need a smidgen of meat as long as I've got plenty of vegetables. And I also like either applesauce, cole slaw, candied yams, cranberry sauce, or sweet cornmeal muffins with the majority of my meat & veggie meals. Old habits are hard to break.
I was chatting with my granddaughter on the phone last week and she said that her mom and dad were getting dinner ready, so I asked what they were having. Without missing a beat she said pasta, with sun dried tomatoes, black olives, capers, garlic, basil, wine, olive oil, mozzarella cheese... I don't remember the rest, but I remember thinking that until about a year ago I had never heard of capers, and I've never tasted a sun dried tomato, or bought a fresh clove of garlic. I don't even know what basil looks like. And I'm somewhat over 4 years old.
