Meatless Modays

After a nudge in the right direction from none other than Oprah, TheHubs and I took a look at our meal plans and decided we needed a revamp.  We eat a lot of meats and not a lot of seafood.  So starting last week, we've implemented "Meatless Mondays" in our quest to reduce red meat consumption and increase seafood/veggie consumption.  So the concept is this:  Replace a "meat" dinner with a non-meat dinner.  That doesn't mean switch your usual pasta meal to the non-meat meal or cheat by counting your pizza night.  It means reducing your meats by one. 

Granted since our schedule is by no means constant, Meatless Mondays in this household can happen any day, but we still call it Meatless Monday.  We're not giving up meat; we enjoy it far too much.  But we do know that sometimes we're not feeling our best, and this is one way we can live a healthier life.  I am a big believer in small steps, otherwise, I'll never stick with anything.

I need your help for 2 reasons:
1) Help keep me honest!  Hold me accountable. 
2) I need some veggie/seafood recipes! So please send them along.

In return, I'll post our Meatless Monday recipe every week.  (Again, it may not be on Mondays.  Plus, I'm a bad blogger and might not get to it until later in the week.)

Last week's meal was Pasta with Roasted Summer Vegetables and Basil from where else?  Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine.  It's super simple and the flavors are out of this world.  I cut it in half b/c its just the 2 of us but next time, I'm going for the full amount.  We barely had enough for leftovers b/c we kept eating it!  It's that good.

We also had Barefoot Contessa's Easy Sole Meuniere from her Back to Basics Cookbook.  It wasn't my fav, which is a shocker, b/c I love all my Barefoot recipes.  I think I need to have the temp higher and add less lemon zest.  But I'm not giving up on this one yet!

With all that said, here we go!  Wish us luck!
