DH makes the burritos for a quick dinner sometimes, and we often use eggs, black beans, cheese, avocado, and salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676851 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 18:24:14 +0000 Greentea 2676851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat lots of eggs, shelled edamame, fried or baked tofu, beans, lentils, Greek yogurt, cheeses.

Smitten kitchen has a great broccoli cheddar soup. </p> <p>I also love bowls, take any sort of grain like quinoa, rice, kamut, bulgar, whatever, and top it with tofu, edamame pods, avocado, shredded cheese, diced raw veggies, etc. </p> <p>One of my very favorite dishes is braised white beans with garlic and rosemary. I use a loose version of this recipe with rosemary instead of marjoram. <a href="http://www.itsalldelicious.com/journal/2009/1/9/braised-cannellini-beans-from-a16.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.itsalldelicious.com/journal/2009/1/9/braised-cannellini-beans-from-a16.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676359 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 10:22:34 +0000 cat620 2676359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Split pea soup, vegetable soup, broccoli cheese soup (are you seeing the soup theme here?).

I think my mom made it up as a kid. </p> <p>I take 16 oz of pre-soaked black beans, a jar of salsa (usually a 12 oz jar of salsa verde, but I think my mom used Pace style stuff), and then fill the jar with water and throw them all in the crock pot until dinner time. I watch it and turn the heat down if it seems like it's burning at all. Then put it on top of rice and top with cheese. My son gobbles it up! He almost always asks for seconds, and we can usually get 2 meals out of the 16 oz of beans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676327 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 09:42:59 +0000 Mama Bird 2676327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tofu stir fry, three bean salad, vegetarian chili, potato salad, pancakes (you can also make potato pancakes with other veggies mixed in), omelettes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676285 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 09:03:48 +0000 Synchronicity 2676285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't eat meat/seafood, so I cook without meat and DH will only occasionally cook meat for himself (more as a side). Some of our favourites:</p> <p>-Portobello mushroom "cheesesteaks" (I used a recipe the first time but now I wing it. I add onions, green pepper and melt cheese over it all on sub buns)<br /> -Pasta dishes (Skinnytaste Baked broccoli mac and cheese, Giada's Baked penne with roasted veggies, Kitchen Treaty's Slow cooker chili mac)<br /> -Buddha bowls are amazing (Minimalist Baker has a Sweet potato and chickpea one that is so tasty)<br /> -Quesadillas (I love caramelizing onions and adding cheese and spinach, but there are endless variations)<br /> -Burritos and burrito bowls<br /> -Tacos (we sometimes do Roasted chickpea and cauliflower tacos... I can't remember who the recipe is from but they are heaven)<br /> -Rice, beans and veggies (I meal prep this stuff a lot on Sundays and eat through the week) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676276 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 08:49:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2676276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pancakes, black bean and squash (butternut usually) tostadas, beans and rice with spinach and tomatoes, chili.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676207 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 23:35:19 +0000 Alexandra603 2676207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lentil soup &amp; bread<br /> roasted chickpeas, roasted carrots, couscous and add a sauce or cheese like feta<br /> tortilinni<br /> eggs, quinoa, avocado, cheese &amp; salsa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676194 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 23:01:18 +0000 littlejoy 2676194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a vegan household ... all of our meals are meatless, but I have morning sickness right now, so you'd think all we eat is oatmeal and chips. ;) </p> <p>My very favorite meat free blog is: <a href="http://www.hotforfoodblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hotforfoodblog.com/</a> - their YouTube channel is SO GOOD! </p> <p>Our go-to's are: </p> <p>Pasta dishes (I love one pot pasta dishes with lots of flavor)<br /> Tacos (you can get creative with meat substitutes, but also roasted veggies)<br /> Fajitas<br /> Homemade pizzas<br /> Buddha Bowls<br /> Falafel<br /> Loaded baked potatoes (with taco toppings)</p> <p>Other great blogs are Oh She Glows and Minimalist Baker </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676182 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 22:25:50 +0000 kitty 2676182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mushroom risotto<br /> Creamy pumpkin pasta sauce w/ sundried tomatoes, baby spinach etc<br /> Mushroom and lentil pie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676120 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:09:14 +0000 Ms. RV 2676120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Falafel<br /> Burrito bowls (with black beans, no meat)<br /> Pizza<br /> Mixing a can of diced tomatoes with a jar of bacon flavored alfredo and putting it on penne<br /> Falafel chili </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676118 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:07:41 +0000 QBbride 2676118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thug Kitchen has a really good roasted chickpea and broccoli burrito! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cutting-back-on-meat#post-2676117 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:05:50 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2676117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love lasagna rolls ( or traditional lasagna).
