Did you know that simply cutting meat from your family’s
meal plan only one day a week can help reduce your risk of chronic medical conditions
like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity? For those concerned
about the environment, going meatless for just one day per week helps reduce
your family’s carbon footprint and conserve valuable resources like water and
fossil fuels consumed in meat product production. In an effort to move toward a healthier, more
sustainable diet, we have decided to join the Meatless Monday movement here in
A Mama’s Corner of the World.
What does this mean? At
least every Monday, we’ll be dining meatless here in our little corner of the
world. We’ll post our latest and
greatest, favorite meatless recipes, favorite vegetarian or vegan restaurants
or food reviews, or maybe a list of meatless recipes from around the web using
a certain seasonal ingredient. Some
weeks, we’ll share interviews, tips, and tricks from vegan or vegetarian
experts to help us along the way as we change our lifestyle one day at a time.
Beginning next week, we’ll also give readers the opportunity
to share meatless recipes or similarly themed posts on our upcoming Meatless
Meal Monday Link-Up. It will be a great
place to find and share healthy, meat-free, resources and recipe ideas!
Our first Meatless Monday themed post is an interview with holistic
health and wellness expert and author, Koya Webb--coming up later today. So—we look
forward to sharing our Meatless Monday adventures with you—and hope you will
share yours with us, and our readers, as well!

So delicious looking!
ReplyDeleteWe often eat meatless meals during the weekdays, or use only small amounts of meat for flavoring.
I grew up in a large family, and we could not afford meat as a dish, we often flavored meals with hamburger, or bacon pieces (which we inexpensive). We ate lots of tuna.
I like meat more for special occasions than for everyday. Even when we had little (growing up) we always had plenty for holiday meals.
