It’s national vegetarian month Ya’ll

Several years ago, my hubby and I decided that we would be more conscientious about the food we eat.

We have eliminated beef, and pork and we try to embrace a meatless Monday theme these days.  The kids moaned and groaned a little bit (especially my daughter the family carnivore) but it’s been an interesting adventure.

I’ve collected lots of inspiration pins on my pinterest boards, which help keep our meals interesting.

Here is a list of some of my favs which can all  be found on my pinterest board Meatless Meals

1. Roasted green beans with mushrooms, balsamic and parmesan
2. Sweet potato and black bean chili
3. Avocado Eggrolls (this is a cheesecake factory copycat recipe) excellent!
4. Mexican quinoa stuffed peppers
5. Portabella fajitas
6. Ginger sesame tempeh lettuce wraps (these were a huge hit)!!!
7. One of the easiest and healthiest ways we enjoy veggies is simply buy steaming them (below) or stir frying them, Afterwards, I toss them in seasoned olive oil, and fresh garlic and serve them over basmati or brown rice. I also like to stir fry asparagus and brussel sprouts with onions, mushrooms and a splash of wine to elevate the flavor.

9.  I haven’t really cooked with chickpeas before, but I discovered this mediterranean recipe on the back of the bag and now have a new love.  There is a meaty quality to chickpeas, and this helps you feel satisfied.

10. Finally Portobella mushrooms are very tasty.  Marinate them in wine or balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil and garlic and grill them (for a smokey flavor) and you’ve got a tasty, filling meal and excellent meat substitute.

It’s national vegetarian month Ya’ll. To celebrate, I challenge my carnivores to go meatless for one day.  Lets eat more vegetables!  Better yet if you have a good recipe to share…let us know.
