One Small Step: Eat One Meatless Meal
In celebration of Peggy’s look at the meatless life lately - wait, have you missed that? Well, Peggy’s been looking at meatless living and I added one myself. Here’s a look back at some meatless posts we’ve done:

So, back to our one meatless meal. Having been a vegetarian for years and years, people always think I’m going to bring the suck dish to the potluck or family event. Here’s one meatless meal I make that everyone LOVES. I’ve never had a meat eater complain about it, not once.
I got it a long time ago from the Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites cookbook. After you taste this you’ll want to own it. It’s a nice recipe because it can easily be adapted for vegans too.
The recipe is Black Bean Chilaquile and I went looking for it at a Moosewood site (so I wouldn’t have to type it) and I didn’t find it there, but I did find it at another blog called Kitchen Window. This blogger already typed out the recipe so I’ll just send you there. Bonus, she has a picture of the finished product.
Notes:
- Like this blogger I also omit the salt - you really don’t need it.
- I only use organic ingredients in mine - you should at least use organic spinach.
- I make mine with homemade organic salsa that’s fairly spicy, but you can use any kind you like.
I swear everyone I know loves this dish. Wait, you know Cedar doesn’t - but he doesn’t love mixed foods, he likes whole foods better, but everyone else loves it.
So, this week omit one meat meal, conserve land and energy, and be a bit more healthy.

I think it is funny people think they cant be vegetarian, or vegan (we have been both). There are so many good things…We do a lentil and eggplant bbq sandwich that is awesome.

I think it’s weird too. There are so many meatless dishes. But, I always get weird looks at meal affairs - yet, people then end up liking what I bring. I don’t like eggplant much though. Once I liked it, but only once.
