Going meatless one day a week!

There are many health and environmental benefits from going meatless one day a week. There are lots of groups and organizations that have information and ideas on how to get started! Check these out:

http://www.vegmondays.org/

Although these both suggest Monday as a meatless day, any day could be chosen! I am going to try to have one vegetarian day without meat each week. I invite you to post vegetarian meal ideas and recipes! I have posted a favourite of mine! Happy Eating!
