Hold the Beef: Going Meatless in Lent and Beyond

I’m back. Sort of. I’m still limiting my screen time, and I have much to say about my recent Internet fast (including how I learned the most from a moment of weakness). I hope to blog about my experience eventually. I actually had no contact with a computer or even email for three whole days and then continued to curtail my Internet time other than a daily email check for a little over a week. It was not easy, but it was rewarding. No pain, no gain, right? I also have much to share (including photos!) about a recent trip we enjoyed, thanks to the generosity of my parents.

I’ll get to it all – eventually.

For now, I’m sharing my most recent feature at Faith & Family LIVE! that was published while I was MIA. Check out Hold the Beef: Going Meatless in Lent and Beyond, and share your favorite recipes for meatless meals.

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
