25 Meatless Meals to Start the New Year

One of the things I’m encouraging everyone to do this year is to eat less meat and more food that comes from the soil, aka -plants.  I’ve never been a huge meat eater myself, but I’ve always prepared it as part of dinner for the rest of the family.

Lately however, I’ve been making more of an effort to create and prepare recipes that are meatless, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised that no one in my house has complained – or even mentioned it.  In fact, the two men in the house, who could live on steak and potatoes if left to their own devices, seem to have a few new favorite vegetarian meals.  I’m not sure if they know they’re vegetarian or not, but I’m keeping my mouth shut 🙂

I’m hoping you will join the Meatless Monday (or any day you like) movement, and eat less meat and more plants.  It’s healthier for you, and better for the environment.  If you need some inspiration to get started, here are 25 delicious meatless recipes from some of my favorite bloggers.

      Hi Rajaa – thanks for your question. Yes, onion is high FODMAP, so you should probably avoid it.
