Meatless Mondays
I did some research on Meatless Mondays before putting this together. I found out the official Meatless Monday non-profit initiative got its start all the way back in 2003. Ahhh, I was in junior high at the time. Shudder.
Their goal is pretty reasonable if you ask me: "to reduce meat consumption by 15% for our personal health and the health of the planet."
Every Monday of my life for the past seven years or so since I became a vegetarian has been a Meatless Monday. But I know a lot of people are just starting to dabble in this concept. And I want to make it easy for you!
Why comfort food meatless meals?
I'm a firm believer that just because you're vegetarian or vegan doesn't mean you ONLY want to eat vegetables. You want cheesy, carby, comforting foods that satisfy your cravings. I've included a mix of some vegan comfort foods, as well as plenty of vegetarian options if you eat eggs, cheese, etc.
