Meatless Monday No. 11 – They can’t all be winners

Friday – day off and Christmas dinner with a friend. Saturday – errands and shopping and a Christmas potluck party that went on into the wee hours. Sunday – relaxing day at home. Monday – two afternoon appointments and… OH NO! I never got around to planning my Meatless Monday dinner!

Oops.

I could have – no, should have – figured out what I was going to make when I had the time to do so on Sunday… but for whatever reason, I didn’t. So dinnertime today found us eating beans in tomato sauce on toast (minus the toast for me) for our ever-so-exciting (NOT) Meatless Monday meal.

I guess they can’t all be winners.

I’ll have to plan better for next Monday – especially since there are two appointments on my calendar for that day as well. Any inspiration you can toss my way for a quick and easy Meatless Monday meal is always appreciated! 🙂

Way to go for staying on track!
Baked beans is one of our go-tos, too.
We rarely go meatless, but when we do, my favourite things are Sweet Potato Quesadillas (you’d want to swap cumin for the cilantro & use whole wheat tortillas) http://allrecipes.com/recipe/black-bean-and-sweet-potato-quesadillas/
OR tamale pie: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/veggie-tamale-pie/
These are just example recipes.
I usually surf around for one I like, or wing it.
Happy menu planning!

Our favorite go-to when there’s nothing else in the house is spaghetti with Prego garlic and onion sauce. No meat. You may be trying to avoid pasta, though. We usually eat meatless a few times a week. I have some great vegetarian recipes. The best thing is to make a veggie (or veggie and pasta) casserole, which for two of us lasts 2-3 days. Love those leftovers!

  I need to explore casseroles more, I think! The one-dish idea really suits me.
