So, I signed the pledge a while back and watched some recipes. After my 18 miles of bike riding this weekend (more on that another time) I have the urge to eat a bit better. Isn't that weird...exercise makes you want to eat better? Anyway, I've made it through my first Meatless Monday! Here's what I had for dinner tonight:
It's a grilled portabella mushroom "burger." I ate it on a toasted whole wheat bun, with a roasted red pepper, cilantro mayo (fresh cilantro from my herb garden) and chevre goat cheese (it's so creamy and yummy). I served all of this with grilled sweet potato fries...it was too hot to heat up the oven, so I made them on the grill.
My first Monday was successful. I just love meat too much to give it up all the time (although I was a vegetarian for 3 weeks in college) but I may be able to do this once per week.
What say you, do you want to try out Meatless Monday?
