Meat-free Monday

Every Monday here on the blog we will be posting a vegetarian recipe. Why? We firmly believe that the number one best thing to do for the environment, when it comes to our diets, is to choose meat-free meals as much as possible. Committing to eating vegetarian at least one day a week is a great way to make a difference.

Paul McCartney is behind the Meat Free Monday campaign. There's even a song to get you revved up for choosing meat-free!

A typical menu for a meatless monday could look something like this:

Breakfast: Porridge made from several rolled grains, with raisins and frozen berries. Serve with non-dairy milk for a vegan Monday!
Lunch: A big salad of spinach, greens, a chopped apple, cubed cheese and nuts, and whatever else you have around.
Dinner: Vegetarian chili

Check back here next week, and every Monday, for a great meatless recipe. Meanwhile, go to meatfreemondays.com for recipes and inspiration.
