Meatless Monday:  Veggie Fajita Nachos

Why does it seem like we go to Mexican style foods so much during our Meatless Mondays?  I'll tell you why...because the options are just so incredibly yummy and we know that the kids will be happy eating it!  Today we are making Veggie Fajita Nachos.  The recipe is pretty basic. … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Quinoa Pilaf

This week, we are offering a meatless side dish.  In fact, this side would really be considered vegan.  You could serve it on it's own for a nice lunch or with a side salad for a lovely little dinner.  The quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a little nutty and meaty, the almost are … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Tomato Biscuit

Summer a great time to try going meatless every once in a while.  This week's Meatless Monday is ridiculously easy and takes advantage of great, fresh, seasonal produce.  Biting into a fresh tomato is like taking a bite right out of the summertime.  We baked up some frozen … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Corn Pancakes with Sauteed Veggies

We've been kind of slacking this summer with our Meatless Monday entries.  We've been trying a few new things around here to see how they work.  We've also been taking the time to pay attention to the web and to magazines that we subscribe to so that we can get a little bit of … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Hashbrowns and Eggs

Next week, we are off on vacation.  That means that this week is all about using up the stuff that we have so that we don't have to throw it out.  In this nation's current economic situation, I think many of us are trying to find ways to use what we have.  When you can't make any … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday: Pizza di Spaghetti

Meatless Monday:  Pizza di Spaghetti

I'm not a big fan of leftovers.  Eating the same thing two times inside of a week is just not something that excites me.  That having been said, I can't in good conscience just throw out perfectly good food.  It wastes money and teaches my kids a terrible lesson.  So I like to … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Fried Mac & Cheese

Going meatless for a day, a month, or a lifetime doesn't mean that you cannot have fun with your food.  I think that, in the South, there is a consensus that, if it can be fried, it should be fried!  Today, we are looking to fry Macaroni and Cheese!  Let me tell you, it felt … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday: Salad Wrap

May 21, 2012 By Brian 9 Comments

Meatless Monday:  Salad Wrap

When we do Meatless Monday, we are so focused on our dinner being meatless, that I actually forget about keep meat out of lunch sometimes.  To keep us on track a bit, we are going to start working on some easy lunch and snack options.  Today's efforts?  Salad Wraps! We all … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Veggie Subs

Each week, we post a meatless recipe that is intended as a dinner meal.  It's easy to forget, however, that the point of Meatless Monday is to spend the day without meat.  On that note, we are going to start introducing some breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that are all meat … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday:  Spinach Ravioli Dinner

Meatless Monday:  Vegetarian Tapas

We are all about keeping our dinners simple, affordable, and tasty.  On the other hand, I'm still just a big kid who still likes to play with his food.  Sometimes, experimenting with new flavors or new types of food can really negate these factors (especially the tasty part).  … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday: Baked Potatoes

Meatless Monday:  Baked Potatoes

Ok, so I know that we did Twice Baked Potatoes last week, but potatoes are a great multipurpose staple, and, if you shop on a budget like us, you are likely to buy them in 5-10 pound bags.  Potatoes keep for a while, but not indefinitely, so it's smart to plan a few meals around … [Read more...]
