Prepping for Meatless Monday

Tomorrow is the relaunch of my Meatless Monday link up and the start of my challenge to all of you, to go veg on Mondays in 2013. Don't forget to take pics of your vegan or vegetarian meals and share them. No need to be a blogger to participate. To help you kick things off, here is a sample menu for you. You can prep everything today, and be ready to feed your family, sans meat, all day tomorrow.

Breakfast: fruity smoothie
Prep and measure the fruits and veggies today, put them all in a single container in the freezer. In the morning, put it all in the blender, with the milk and yogurt. You'll have a nutritious breakfast in a couple minutes.

Lunch: roasted vegetable pasta salad

This salad will be even better tomorrow, if you make it today. You'll have enough for lunches for a couple days this week.

Snack: two bean dilled hummus

Make this hummus today, to serve as a snack or appetizer this afternoon. Leftovers will make a great snack tomorrow and a sandwich spread later in the week.

Supper: tater tot casserole

My tater tot casserole recipe takes a while to bake, but not long to put together. If you know you'll be busy tomorrow evening, you can make it today and bake it it, without the tots. Tomorrow, add the tots and throw it in the oven until the tater tots are golden brown. 

Dessert: trail mix cookie bars

A cookie bar that is packed with nutrition. It can double as breakfast, a snack, or a great lunch time dessert. You can make them today and serve them tomorrow. Of course, they don't take long to put together. You could make them while the casserole is baking and have a fresh, warm dessert after supper. 

What will you be eating for the year's first Meatless Monday? Snap a few pictures and link up tomorrow!
