Meatless Monday: Eat Your Veggies!

It’s another Lent and I’ve given up eating meat, another year in a row. I’m excited for the challenge, and already regretting it. I already had a craving for buffalo chicken salad AND pepperoni pizza – and it’s been less than a week.

That being said, I have been pinning up a bazillion NEW vegetarian recipes (in addition to the few I already have made) that I hope to get a chance to make sometime in the coming weeks. Here are just a few of the ones that have been inspiring me. I can’t wait to try some of these out!

Vegetarian fried rice (but it’s really quinoa) from sheknows.com

Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew With Couscous from Martha Stewart

Kale with Caramelized Squash and Onions from She’s Cookin

Wild Mushroom Lentil Burger from My New Roots

Creamy Cauliflower Soup from Skinny Taste

Roasted Cauliflower Lentil Soup from Vegan Yack Attack

Mushroom Lentil Spaghetti Squash Casserole, also from Vegan Yack Attack

And of course, some questions:

Which look the most appetizing to you?
Place your bets – which do you think B would even try?
Do you have any favorite vegetarian recipes? Please share! I want to try them all out!
Do you give up anything for Lent?

Gotta try those burger recipes! I’m a vegetarian and one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever made is nectarine pizza: http://pregamingwithcoffee.com/2013/09/12/how-to-make-nectarine-pizza/

I can guarantee you guys will love it! I actually gave up meat for Lent the past two years, but ended up making the change permanent 🙂

  Wow, you started with giving up meat for Lent also? How funny! That nectarine pizza looks delicious. I haven’t met a pizza I didn’t like yet – and can’t imagine not liking that. Love all the ingredients! Thanks for sharing.

That chipotle burger looks delicious! We do the lentil loaf on on occasion – good stuff! I’ve been a vegetarian for 5 years now, and I still haven’t gotten bored. There’s always something new to try. 🙂

  I don’t know if I knew you were a vegetarian! Do you have any other foods that you do often – like the lentil loaf? I’m hopeful to find something that even my meat-loving husband will try … and maybe even love!

Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
