Obviously, the title would be better if it was "Meat-free Monday," but I ate meat yesterday (for lunch and dinner, but not a lot at either). Today and this past Saturday, I intentionally did not have meat. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to stop eating meat. I can't even tell you how much I love a good steak. I just want to try not eating meat every day. I don't know if I will or won't have meat tomorrow - actually, I probably will. Lunch is being served at the office and I'm sure it will entail some sort of meat. Anyway, I'll try another meat-free day soon. I am making sure that I get enough protein, so no need to worry about that.
I've tried two new things in my meat-free adventure. I had a California quesadilla. It had spinach, black beans, goat cheese, and pico de gallo. I really enjoyed it. I like spinach in small amounts or mixed in with something. I can't eat a serving of just plain spinach. The quesadilla had the perfect amount. I've also tried a Veggie wrap. It's a multi grain wrap filled with hummus, artichokes, cucumbers, spring mix, tomatoes, and feta topped with balsamic dressing. I love hummus almost as much as I love steak, and I love this wrap. I had half of it for lunch with a salad and the other half for dinner with some fruit. Put hummus on anything and I will eat it. My friend, Leanne, introduced me to cucumber slices dipped in or spread with hummus. This is great for a snack or something light at parties.
I may try this at least 3 days a week. I'm hoping it will encourage me to try new things. Anyone have any cool meat-free food suggestions?

Well you KNOW I have an arsenal of meat free dishes, although I have to say that my favorite on-the-go meal is a Morningstar "Chickn' Patty on one of those round sandwich thins. Pair it with a side of Alexia sweet potato fries and a small salad...my favorite quick meal for sure.
