10 Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes for Meatless Mondays

May 20, 2013 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh 28 Comments

10 Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes for #MeatlessMondays from Spicie Foodie and Friends

By now, I believe, everyone has heard of the Meatless Mondays initiative. I have been a fan of it and now and then I like to share recipes so others can also go meatless on Mondays. Also there are often misconceptions that meatless, vegetarian or vegan meals are flavourless, boring and not nutritious — this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Today I’m going to share 10 recipes that you can enjoy on Meatless Mondays. Pair them with other meatless options or enjoy them on their own.

 Meatless Mondays poster

In case you don’t know about Meatless Mondays here is some information, “Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. It was started to reduce meat consumption and in turn helping both the environment and individuals improve their health. By cutting out meat once a week, we can improve our health, reduce our carbon footprint and lead the world in the race to reduce climate change.” Source meatlessmonday.com

    Lovely ideas and recipes! Everything looks really scrumptious. I go meatless most of the time (at least 5 days out of 7, but mostly 6 out of 7) and I could not go back to being carnivorous on a full time basis…

    Cheers,

    Rosa

      That’s great Rosa! We also skip meat many days of the week.

    Terrific, terrific roundup of vegetarian recipes. Much appreciated. Sometimes I go brain-dead when I am thinking what to prepare for my vegetarian husband and visiting son. These are particularly nice and varied recipes. Thanks!

    I can’t eat meat 7 days a week; most of the time we go meatless at home. It’s a happy balance for me to eat mostly vegetarian then add the meat to the rotation when the craving strikes.

    Lovely selection of meatless dishes here–I admit I tend to go the easy, stir fry route so thanks for the ideas and for including my sting beans!

    Wonderful meatless recipe roundup, Nancy! Thank you so much for sharing my soba salad. :) I love vegetables that I almost think that I can be vegetarian…but there are few meat dishes that I simply cannot give up…. but Meatless Monday works perfect for me!

      Thank you for allowing me to share your gorgeous photo Nami. I’m the same way, so I try to eat meat only when I crave it.

    ‘Meatless Mondays’ does alliterate beautifully :) ! Although I was very much brought up in a heavy-meat=eating environment MM these days is not enough! I manage at least 2-3 days a week with a meatless main course and am finding more and more ways to make these memorable, healthy, tasty and good for the environment. You have a lovely list up above: some I have already made, some are delightfuly new and will be tried, especially that mushroom galette :D !

    I s0 totally agree with you Nancy. We dont seem to eat a lot of meat any more in our house, most certainly not every day and I like it to be sourced inhumanely if I can. Thanks for the collection of recipes. A nice surprise to see mine included when I am so far away in a tiny town in Italy trying to stay in the wi-fi zone!

      That’s great Tania! We feel the same way and have even switched to organic meat. I love both of your recipes, so happy to share them. I hope you’re having a blast in Italy!:) xx

    We rarely eat meat too..My husband does need to eat it for health reasons..so we do eat it some..but mostly fish here..:)More than meat that is for certain..
    Thank you for everything:)

      Don’t feel discouraged Monique, it takes a little bit of practice but you’ll get it down. Most of the lovely photos in this post belong to friends.

      If we had more fish and seafood available here, we too would eat more of it and less of meat. Thanks!

    I love the idea of meatless Monday.. but I live with two carnivores (hubby and son) and I would not get away with it. Now my daughter is starting to dislike meat… so I may have to have both options available soon enough. :)

      That’s too bad Ramona, I’m lucky because my hubby never complains about meatless meals. Maybe you and your daughter can compromise with the boys?:)
