Meatless Mondays

It's 2012 people and it's time we get our acts together and change the world, before the Mayan's wipe us out! Ever wonder how you can change the world? Better your Health? Lose some weight? Actually make a difference? Well, here's a baby step for you, if you're interested: Meatless Mondays. That's right, for one day a week, ( Yep, just one!) you can eliminate meat from your diet, and start making a difference! This video explains a lot more as to how it can make a difference, who it affects, how it can be done, and why to do it! It's easy. It's not like we're cavemen, hunting down antelope and trying to decipher between poisonous berries- let's be honest, there is at least a "Quickie Mart" a few blocks away that has some veggie or noodle options that are meat-free, but lets be even more honest- the Stop and Shop, Trader Joes, or Whole Foods provides a CORNACOPIA of options that are healthy, delicious and affordable :) Remember, I am talking whole-foods here, friends. When you start getting packaged, preserved, quick-and-easy meals, your prices go up due to convienience. Start buying your fruits and veggies, chopping them up and getting some recipes together! Stir fry? Veggie/bean burritos? Fajitas? Veggie fried rice or Lomein? Some veggie indian cuisine? Rice and beans? pasta and veggies? Veggie pizza? Can I make it easier?! Let's do this! One day a week can make a HUGE difference! Let me know how your first Meatless Monday goes! What are you eating? How do you feel about it?

  1. Meatless Mondays (or any day that ends in "-y") are so easy to do and can be one of the easiest cooking days ever. Try Quinoa pasta (they actually take the Quinoa and turn it into spiral pasta noodles: trust me. You will never know the difference. I am hardcore Italian and these are amazing) and a lemon butter sauce with a slew of veggies. Yum!

    1. I didn't know you could make Quinoa pasta! With each of those being my favorite things, I can't see how quinoa pasta would not be magically delicious! YUM! Thanks for the tip! Where can you find this or are there recipes to do it home-made?
