Meatless Monday

Has anyone tried doing meatless Monday? How has it worked out for you? Do you just go vegetarian or full out vegan? I've been debating if I want to start doing this, but I just want some input from other people about thoughts on it.

    I am a run of the mill omnivore but I only eat meat about 50% of the time. So I guess it "works" for me. Remember that vegetarian meals do not necessarily equal less calories.

    If I eat a vegan meal when I am eating meatless, it is by accident. I don't deliberately avoid dairy or eggs or honey, however some things I cook do happen to be vegan.

    I would say either way, you can't loose. It creates a good habit and doesn't matter if you go vegan or tradional vegetarian. We just started a few weeks back and more than anything else I feel it's about finding and making alternative food selections to find recipes you can enjoy. I believe another benefit is to try to find local in season produce to reduce transportation and carbon footprint. Best of Luck! :happy:

    meatless monday centers around going vegetarian that day and if you have a family, getting them involved in the preparation. Its about going "green" and for your health. You can find out more info at www.meatlessmonday.com

    We do try to do Meatless Mondays. I do meatless meals at least once a week. It helps our grocery bill not buying meat. The meals I make are vegetarian. I pretty much always use cheese.
