Mexican Corn Pasta Salad
In addition to being vegetarian, this salad calls for some fantastic fresh ingredients! My only warning: good luck eating just one bowl. Photo credit: https://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-2/ Here's the recipe! Happy Meatless Monday! #meatlessmondays

Let the good times (cranberry and brie) roll
If you love cheese, cranberry sauce, and pastry, then you'll love these easy-to-make rolls. They taste like Thanksgiving! Here's the link to the recipe. Photo credit: https://www.myfussyeater.com/turkey-cranberry-brie-rolls/ You'll notice that the recipe above calls for minced turkey and because this is #meatlessmonday, we're obviously not going to use that. Instead, let's reintroduce our old friend, Field Roast sausages! I used the same amount of Field Roast that the recipe

Take the (Cup)cake
I know, I know. It's not the holidays anymore. But these delicious, gingerbread vegan cupcakes are fantastic at any time of the year! The photo above is one that I took of a cupcake I made with this recipe, and I really can't accurately describe how good they were. These cupcakes also come endorsed by my husband as well as his class of eleventh graders. Here's the link to the recipe! Enjoy! #meatlessmondays

Photo credit: https://www.honeyandbirch.com/3-ingredient-black-bean-soup/ All you need for this recipe are two cans of black beans, one cup of vegetable broth (the recipe calls for chicken broth but it's an easy substitution), and one can of diced tomatoes. It really couldn't be easier or more delicious! Enjoy! #meatlessmondays

My dinner's leeking!
Photo credit: https://thefitchen.com/simple-slow-roasted-leeks-2/ Leeks are a vegetable that I discovered several years ago and immediately fell in love with. They have a milder onion taste and work incredibly well in soups, casseroles, salads, you name it. But leeks are also great on their own! Try this roasted leek recipe and you'll fall in love with this green vegetable, too. I have two tips for you before you get going. First, set aside some time to make this recipe. It t

Veggie sheet pan dinner
Photo: cookingclassy.com Happy Meatless Monday! Today's recipe is easy, healthy, and vegetarian to boot! It's a sausage, apple, and veggie sheet pan dinner. Yes, the recipe calls for sausage but there are many fantastic veggie sausage options that you can substitute! When I made this recipe recently, I used some of my favorite vegetarian sausages: Field Roast Smoked Apple Sage sausages (see the photo below). Good luck and happy cooking! #meatlessmondays

Tofu . . . in pie?
Last week, we featured tofu in spring rolls, which seems like a natural place for tofu to be. This week we're featuring Tofu Peanut Butter Cup Pie! Now, you might think that tofu doesn't seem like something that should go in pie but I'm going to ask you to trust me on this. Tofu adds a creamy texture to this amazing, rich pie that I've been eating and making since my mom it for me when I was little. The photo above is of a pie I made - doesn't it look incredible? Try it and l

Tofu Spring Rolls
Happy New Year! If your New Year's resolution is to care for the environment, reducing or eliminating the meat in your diet is a fantastic way to do that. Tofu is my favorite protein substitute and it's an important part of today's Meatless Monday recipe! Today we are featuring spring rolls and you can click here for the recipe. I love making spring rolls because there are so many options for ingredients that you can put inside them. So if you don't like an ingredient in this

"Caesar" Salad
I was pretty surprised when I first found out that most Caesar salad dressing contains anchovies. I was disappointed to learn that one of my favorite salads that I assumed was vegetarian actually contains fish. Meatless Monday lesson learned: always read labels. Anyway, I was so happy to find this Caesar salad substitute that really is vegetarian and yet still has that caesar salad-y taste! I can't overemphasize how easy this salad is to make; it's perfect to take to parties

Pastrami-Spiced Tofu Reuben
Tofu gets a bad rap, sometimes even among vegetarians. Yes, in its natural state, tofu is a cold, bland, block of soy. But prepared well, it can take on all kinds of flavors and textures! I'm hoping that after you taste this recipe, you'll be as much of a tofu fan as I am. I've made this sandwich dozens of times and it's always amazing. Make it for yourself and me know what you think!
