According to iVillage, cutting meat from our diet just one day a week can improve health and reduce our carbon footprint. I'm not much of a meat-eater anyway but I really like the idea of having a set day to make something fully vegetarian and iVillage makes it all easy with those 35 scrumpcious looking recipes. On my menu today, this baked eggplant with marinara. Yum! Dears, how often do you eat meat? Want to join in the meatless Mondays? xoxo
Ps: Fancy a chit-chat? Join me on Twitter!

I do eat meat but not often at all... maybe once a week and then the best quality i can find!

My whole family is full of Meat eaters. We have each night a meat, vegy, and some type of carb. My hubby is just not happy without it.
Although in the summer we do a lot of fish (does that count as meat?)
such a yummy-looking cuisine
i love vegan meals as well. i think they're not only healthy, they're very nourishing for our bodies
a day without meat is a good idea !
that looks delicious! I don't eat meat that often (I'm a seafood lover).
thanks for the link: so many recipes!!! yum.
mmm that looks delish!
We are big meat eaters I'm afraid and although this does indeed look delicious don't think I could get it by my husband who doesn't do eggplant!! Perhaps I can find another meatless pasta dish!
I don't like eating meat that often and this looks so yummy! I wish I had some right now, it's making me hungry!!! Hope you had a good weekend doll! xo
Oooooh my this is so Yummy!!!!
its looks really delicious!
I am, that looks aamaazing
I don't eat meat, just fish. And I only have that once or twice a week. That recipe looks YUM! x
Mmmmm, my absolute favorite dish!
We eat meat about 1 a week, usually fish or a very lean cut of meat like turkey breast, deer/venison, lamb and rarely chicken.
what a great idea. I WILL JOIN! and ya not too much of a meat eater anyway. but what great reciepes I cant wait to try it..or at least attempt to. ; )
HAPPY MONDAY!
(love that website)
Looking oh so yummy!
Have a lovely new week, sweet Diana xxxx
I just put your cute button on my blog and am following you on bloglovin and twitter! yay!
If you'd like to join Simply Healthy Family I'd love it! ;)
love love your blog.
I generally only eat meat 2 or 3 times a week anyway, so it's not something I make a conscious effort today. Today is not a meatless Monday though. I am eating chicken tortilla soup as I type this. ;-)
So yummy, darling!
Thanks for the links to all the recipes!

Mmm meatless Mondays sounds good to me. I read somewhere that "treating meat like a condiment instead of a main course" is a good attitude to have towards eating meat. Can't wait to check out these recipes!
Looks so yummy!
I try to cut down on red meat as much as possible~
xo*
I completely believe this... and it's so much easier than people think. We eat meat probably about once a week. At home we always cook vegetarian.
oxo
I'm not a big meat eater either so this is DELICIOUS to me!! I love eggplant!! It is soo scrumptious!! =)

We rarley eat beef, but a lot of seafood and fish! That's good to know that we cna reduce our carbon footprint this way, yayyyyy mushroom lasagna and eggplant dhishes!
What a great idea! I am also not a huge meat person, but this might be a good plan to get some more veggies in me :)
I eat meat about 4-5 times a week in various forms, but it really depends on what I am hungry for. Somedays I just want a salad, but some days I crave a big burger! That lasagna looks amazing and I hope you have a delicious dinner!
Happy Monday, dear :)
This vegetarian applauds your choice! Delicious!
i'm a vegetarian... now if i could only convince the hubs.
That baked eggplant looks super yummy! I'm a vegan so I love getting my vegetarian/vegan recipes.

oh that looks delish! i do love meat but i think i could survive without it for a day!!
I go meatless several days a week...not really on purpose, I just don't always have meat in the house or feel like going to the store. Plus I just love vegetables. I enjoy meatless soups, risotto's and mexican food sans meat (beans are a great replacement!) yum! I'm glad to hear it's much healthier for you! Thanks for the post! Speaking of healthy....check out my unhealthy post on the Chocolate Festival I attended this weekend!

This looks delish! My fiance was a vegetarian for a long time and I don't eat meat often, so I always love fun meatless meals! :)
Liesl :)
I'm a vegetarian so NEVER! :)
Great idea. I can go without meat for a few days a week and not miss it at all. There are many alternatives to eat instead.
the hubby and i are both vegan, so obviously we have meatless days every day :) i've been looking into cutting even more harmful foods out of my diet lately though. i just purchased the "crazy sexy diet" book to help out with that. it's all about cutting out foods that cause inflammation in the body, such as sugars, gluten and dairy. looking forward to another healthy year ahead!
I am in for meatless Mondays!
Oh! Diana! I was just a wreck for my first show. I know it was awful! AGHGH

I'd have no problem going without meat for a day and that eggplant lasagna looks great!
Too Late for me today :/
That salami was just too delicious! :)

I was just making my grocery list and it includes the ingredients for lasagna, I make mine with zucchini,eggplant and spinach. I'm vegetarian, although I do eat fish from time to time. My family still gives me a hard time about not eating anything with 2 or 4 legs,hehe but there are so many choices now that if I want a hamburger or taco I don't feel deprived instead I turn to the BOCA products!
I actually will do the opposite. Meatful(?) Mondays.
I need more meat in my diet.
but I wish you luck!
xx
This looks so yummy. Considering that I am vegetarian and my hubby and kids are even vegans, there is no meat in our house at all.
I am meatless everyday!
I was a veg for years then started eating meat again although I only try to buy organic free range but was just thinking this weekend I need good vegetarian recipes to shift back out of the land of meat! If the majority of animals in general were not so tortured I would feel different but the factory farms are of the devil and must be stopped!!
I don't eat red meat at all but I do like the idea of meatless mondays. Great idea and I think that'll be a thing we start here. Thanks for the idea, darling! xoxo
yummy!!! fabulous meal. i'm all about meatless meals. perhaps i'll join you on mondays!
I am a full time vegetarian.
Ive been a vegetarian for over a year now...you should definitely try to convert :)
i do meatless mondays too! i tried being a full vegitarian for nearly a year but it was VERY hard. i'm going to try your recipe soon, looks delicious!
We've totally cut down on our meat intake, which wasn't even much (only chicken before)! Down to mostly fish and veggies. Love this recipe!! Gonna make it; minus the cheese for me!
Ooh, that looks so delicious. It's making me hungry. Off to get some cheese to tide me over. :-)
Such a lovely idea. I eat meat every once in a while. I am not a vegetarian but I eat primary a vegetarian diet. It would be cool to make a point to meatless, though.
Oh boy, this looks absolutely delicious. I love eating, and this is getting book marked in my recipe catalogue!!

Gosh, I barely ever eat meat, I'll join you in Meatless Monday!
I take meat on for couple of days in a weak and for the rest of the week mostly vegetables. As excess eating of meat causes the health problem and increases carbon footprints. so please cut down to the consumption of meat for your health and saving earth . just a bit i say don't give-up totally for some nonsense PETA - the publicty seeking idiots
i try to have vegetarian each week and more then once . i have daals with rotis . salads , veggie soups and stews and it is easier to digest then neat . but i still love eating meat .
Keeping away from the meat is best way of preventing a kidney disease.
