I commend all my veggie and vegan friends but have absolutely no desire to choose that lifestyle. No apologies and no judgement, just being truthful. Basically I have no self control : ) Sunday night Chase proposed we start "meatless Mondays." I was completely shocked! This coming from my man who insists on having meat at every meal! I had actually brought this up years ago and I'm pretty sure I was laughed at.
He started by asking me the rules to our Meatless Mondays. I laughed and I told him that the rules are whatever we make them to be! Maybe let's start with dinner? Let's also be realistic. My favorite word! REALISTIC. I don't want to start something and not accomplish it because it doesn't fit our lifestyle. So basically, we didn't make up any rules yet.
May 20 marks my first Meatless Monday!
Breakfast (I didn't have to change my normal breakfast)
Coffee. Yogurt. Granola. Blueberries. Rasberries. Strawberries
Lunch (Definitely a change from my usual turkey sandwich)
Open faced sunny side up sandwich.
Dinner (A typical dinner for us, but no ground beef)
Spaghetti. Salad
Not too bad for my first day! Lunch will probably be the most challenging meal. I am completely addicted to turkey sandwiches!!!!! Wish us luck : )
1/2 piece of naan (or any bread)
1 piece of swiss cheese
1/4 avocado
1/2 tomato
1 1/2 egg (1 whole egg and just the white of the second)
pinch of sea salt
There are so many variations to this! I happen to have all these delish things at home today.
Veggie Spaghetti
1 eggplant, cubed
1 zucchini, cubed
8 oz mushrooms
1 lb. whole wheat spaghetti
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
salt and pepper
olive oil
I roasted all the veggies together with olive oil, salt and pepper (you could also do this step in a skillet). In a large pot I added the roasted veggies to my spaghetti sauce and kept them on low while I cooked my pasta.
So many possibilities to this one too! The mushrooms added some hearty "meat-like" texture. Can't wait to eat this again!
