What kind of recipes are we talking about here?  Obviously, roast beef is going
to be a problem.  There are work-arounds in almost everything else.  Try
lamburgers, or other meat in your meat loaf.  A bit of pork in your Indo-Mie
may not be /halal/ but it is tasty.

I forget who said it, but testing her out on buffalo might be a good idea.  Or
strictly organic beef;  maybe it's the hormones, etc. rather than the cow-flesh
itself that's setting her off.

Eating out is a non-problem.  Any burger joint has chicken sandwiches these
days.

Affectionately, because I care:  cutting back on the beef might not do your
cholesterol any harm either, me laddy.
