From my very first Meatless Monday post a year ago
According to meatlessmonday.com
"Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.
Read about these benefits below. But keep in mind that just going meatless is not enough. That’s why we give you the information you need to add healthy, environmentally friendly meat-free alternatives to your diet each week. Further, if you do eat meat on other days, we strongly recommend grass-fed, hormone-free, locally-raised options whenever possible."
First we have Sunflower Sprout Salad
 |
| Homegrown Tomatoes and tiny peppers |
 |
| fresh Garlic and Olive Oil |
Next we have grilled eggplant (from the garden) and red pepper! I also added a few pieces of garlic from my infused oil. YUM! I added these delicious grilled veggies to a piece of flatbread.
For my husband who needs more protein after a good workout, I added 2 poached eggs (not pictured).
If you're looking for a simple dressing that is both healthy and delicious

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI too love to shop at my local farmer's market and I base most of my meals around what's fresh and organic at the market each week--so I am delighted that you shared this wonderful post with us at the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop! We appreciate it!
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThose lovely, ripe, red tomatoes are calling my name! I just made some lovely fresh salsa from my most recent batch of organic tomatoes. Thank you for sharing these fresh, delectable dishes with us at the Plant-based Potluck Party!
Thanks for linking up at Natural living Monday and Healthy Meal Planning Linkup! These recipes look awesome, especially the sprouts with mozzarella and tomato. I've been wanting to do more with sprouts!
