My friend Rebecca sent me a text message this morning, and it got me thinking about the coming year and what I hope for my readers. I know lots of you are vegan or vegetarian, but lots of you aren't.
For those of you who are meat eaters, I challenge you to go meatless on Mondays in 2013. If you're vegetarian, I challenge you to go vegan on Mondays. To help you take on this challenge, I have some resources for you:
1. For details on why to go meatless on Mondays, and for recipes, take a look at the official website for Meatless Monday.
2. Finding Vegan is a great compilation of vegan recipes, with new ones posted everyday.
3. You can find all of my recipes on my Recipes and Menus page.
4. Some other vegan blogs that I like: Blake Bakes, The Post Punk Kitchen, Oh She Glows, and Three and a Half Vegans.
5. My favorite part of the challenge is the part where I help you veganize your recipes (this was all Rebecca's idea). Each Monday, I'll publish a vegan version of recipes that you submit. If you'd like me to veganize your favorite omnivorous recipe, email it to me at sandra.kohlmann@gmail.com. If you don't have a specific recipe, but there is a non-vegan dish you love, email that info to me, too, and I'll create a vegan version for you.
In addition, if there is sufficient interest, I'd love to revive my Meatless Monday blog hop, so we can all share our vegan and vegetarian recipes. Leave me a comment and let me know if you're up to the Meatless Monday challenge. While you're at it, tell me if you'd like to join in on a weekly link up to share your meat-free recipes.
What are you waiting for? Get commenting! And gather up your recipes and send them my way, so I can get to work for you!
I would certainly be up for the meatless monday blog hop again. Especially because hubby wants to be more vegetarian now :) That and I've rediscovered a love for blogging now that I don't care about readership ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay for your husband and for blogging again. Your recipes have been great lately!
DeleteThank you I'm finally back to being creative with my food again. Tonight I made ginger quinoa endive wraps. To die for, hubby only didn't like the endive leaf itself.
DeleteI see a lot of mommy blogging in my future too.
I'm still holding out for Yorkshire pudding, but until then how about a vegan Cobb salad?
ReplyDeleteKristie, if you can get me a recipe, I'll give Yorkshire pudding a try. I can do the salad, too!
DeleteSandra if you do a vegan Cobb you will be my hero. Key for me is the egg and blue cheese dressing.
DeleteOh, and how about some satisfying snacks. I really need to get off the Lay's.

ReplyDeleteApparently I tossed my recipe because I considered it hopeless, but this looks similar because mine had only a very few ingredients. I used a red wine sauce in place of the "drippings." I just added a little olive oil to a very basic recipe and it worked great! If you figure it out, you WILL win a Nobel prize. Serve it with mashed potatoes, pureed brussel sprouts, and some baked tofu and you will become Supreme Ruler Of The World.
I've skipped Meatless on Monday for 2 weeks now with all of the December craziness. Looking forward to getting back on track! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the shout out! I think this is a great and do-able challenge. I might have to borrow this (with a link back to you, of course)! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo excited!! Day one and two have been a success. Even convinced friend to do it too.
