Mouthwatering Meatless Meals
We often have meatless nights in our home to change things up a bit. I enjoy trying new recipes and sometimes I forget to defrost meat from the freezer. Then I tell my girls, it’s Meatless Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, whatever day it is!). I followed a vegetarian diet for about 5 years in my early to mid 20s. I tried many meatless alternatives and found they actually taste good! I loved my veggie burgers and still have them on occasion.
Meatless Meals
Even if you buy a veggie burger product, doesn’t mean you have to actually make a veggie burger. In reality, there are so many yummy meatless dishes you can create! Take for instance black bean burgers. Yes, you can make a good ol’ burger with all the fixins’, but you could also think outside the bun and come up with some creative alternatives! Think pizza, nachos, casseroles and more. I’m getting hungry thinking of all the delicious recipes.
