Adding More Vegetarians Meals

One of my favorite parts of meal planning each week is trying to find a cool, new vegetarian recipe to make.

We’ve been trying to have Meatless Mondays each week on/off for the past 2 years! It doesn’t always happen and we aren’t sticklers for it, but it has really helped me find some delicious vegetarian recipes.

Sharing some of my Favorite Meatless Monday Recipes that we eat quite often at my house. Some are recipes from this blog and some are ones that we’ve had multiple times from fellow bloggers.

Favorite Summer Meatless Monday Recipes

The way I measure the success of a recipe –

  • If I enjoyed it
  • Would I make it again
  • Did Dan like it and not complain that we didn’t have any meat

In all fairness, Dan (my husband) will literally eat anything you put in front of him. He isn’t picky nor does he complain about food very often. However, if you ask him what he wants for dinner he will always say “steak”.

These are all Dan approved recipes.

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

The is one of the first recipes I made when we started Meatless Mondays and I probably make it at least once of month.

I typically serve it with a big, veggie packed salad. It goes great with this Greek Salad recipe.

Ricotta Toast w/ Tomato & Basil

The quintessential summer recipe in my mind. Serve with grilled veggies drizzled in olive oil and fresh herbs or a 3 Bean Salad for a delicious meal.

Greek Farro Salad with Fresh Herbs

Farro has just a great, nutty flavor and is very filling. This dish has so many great ingredients packed into one, delicious bowl. To make it even more filling, I would add some sunflower seeds and pistachios for extra crunch.

Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers
