Back in March we featured several posts on the benefits of going meatless at least a few times a week.
Here’s one more: You won’t have to worry about your cat jumping from the refrigerator to the top of cabinets and hanging out above your stove while chicken cooks.

In the previous post we discussed how homemade popsicles can reduce the trash we toss, save money (both on boxes and gas to the store), and help to save resources.

One resource I chose to help me with my quest to eat more meatless meals is Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I have owned his How to Cook Everything for years and have been greatly impressed. I won’t exactly call this a cookbook for dummies, but Bittman explains everything. And I do mean […]
