Are you looking for meatless Monday recipes? Here are healthy meatless meals for dinner, crockpot, they're easy ideas, and some great vegan ideas as well! #meatlessmonday #meatlessrecipes #meatlessmondayrecipesMy 10 Budget Recipes roundup proved to be popular, so I’m back at it again with 10 Meatless Monday Recipes You Should Try.

Food is one of the largest expenses a family can have each month, which is why I’m a big believer in and lover of weekly meal plans. If you are looking for some new Meatless Monday recipes to start making for you and/or your family, then you’ve come to the right place.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the average family of four spends around $700 to $1,000 a month on food. That’s a lot of money, especially considering that most families waste around a large amount of their food each month!

    I once tried a vegetarian diet which consisted mostly of veggies, fruit, tofu, eggs, and milk. And it did wonders for my skin.

    I think the recipes above will also do the trick while helping us save money 😀

    I steered away much from consuming Steak, beef, and pork. I don’t eat Chicken cheese steaks anymore. I’m mindful about what I eat at the Hibachi restaurant because oil converts to Estrogen in the body and raises bad cholesterol levels and contributes to unhealthy weight gain. I used to be almost meatless back in the day. I find myself wanting to revisit those days now with this new weight loss journey. 🙂

    Perfect timing!

    I just read The Longevity Diet by Dr. Valter Longo. It seriously made me consider how much meat I’m eating and I decided it’s time to cut back.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    I’ve cut back on meat recently due to some documentaries I watched on Netflix. The maltreatment of the animals and environmental impacts are obscene. I haven’t stopped eating meat, I just eat it less and enjoy it more when I do have it.

    Thanks for these awesome recipes. Can’t wait to try!

    Thanks for sharing these great meat-free recipes! When there’s limited time, using easy-to-prepare veges like marrows and eggplant, and frozen veges like green beans is another way to make quick, convenient and tasty dishes. My family are slowly cutting back on meat too.

    We very much like Gnocci with white beans, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, EVOO, garlic and some herbs. So filling and tasty.
