meatless monday #1!

first of all, let me thank everyone who has given me their support, and gone the extra length to accept my challenge of giving up meat 1 day a week for 1 month.  getting the comments of people pledging to do it has seriously made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  it's like a big wooly sweater around my heart.  i had forgotten that this is labor day weekend, and i'm sure people have tons of bbq's and picnics to go to, so, how about moving it to another day if monday doesn't work for you?  say, meatless tuesday?  i know, doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but i'll take whatever you wanna try!  

so, my head has been reeling for the past couple days trying to figure out some good recipes to recommend for the first meatless monday.  or, should i say, meatless tuesday, really....whatever day you choose!  i'm just thankful for all the support i have received!   i started off with, what i think, are some simple, easy, and YUMMY recipes that are either vegetarian or vegan.  even tho i choose to be vegan, i realize it's really difficult for people to give up eggs and dairy too, so that's why i'm giving options!    

i will post a blog for each meal of the day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and some different recipe options if you would like to try some of my recipes!  if you have your own favorites, that's awesome too!  but, i would love to hear back from you on how you feel on your no meat day.  good or bad?  frustrated or happy?  good poops?  whatever!  ;)  also, let me know if you try any of my suggestions, and if you like them.  i picked out some of my favorites, but i know not everybody's tastes are the same.  however, i think i picked some tasty things that should be fairly accessible to everyone!  have fun, try something new, and enjoy!

peace, love, & yum,
