Have you heard of Meatless Monday?
It’s kind of an unofficial movement that on Monday you make meatless meals. How’s that for alliteration?
If you typically eat meat, going meatless every so often is a great idea. I find that in many cases, even though I’m not a vegetarian, I’m gravitating to the dishes that just so happen to be meatless. It’s a great way to reduce meat consumption, discover new recipes you might not have tried, use new cooking methods, and add new favorite meatless meals to your dinner menus.
Here’s one thing that’s very important: don’t confuse meatless with boring, bland, salads-only, unfilling, or uninspired. You definitely don’t want to make that mistake.
Here are 8 ultimate meatless meals that are filling, abundant in flavor, plentiful meals that will leave you planning for more meatless meals!
