Before my son, my husband and I were about 80% meatless and were working on getting rid of dairy and becoming Vegan. And then I got pregnant!

Way back when, we had just started dating, we watched Forks Over Knives. If you have not watched it, I recommend it, just know it is harsh and you will not want to eat meat after you see all the animal cruelty.

I should re-watch it. Because during my pregnancy and now while pumping/breastfeeding, I crave meat and find it is the only thing that is helping me to produce more milk and keep my energy levels up. Which has to be in my head.

OK now that I say it out loud or in writing, I am going to re-watch Forks Over Knives and do research on meat alternatives to keep my milk production up. I have been taking a lot of supplements and eating a ton more, but I never feel full. I could eat more fish, but as explained in Forks Over Knives a muscle is a muscle.

Anyway, the reason I am posting about meatless Monday is because I think it is healthy of us to go without meat. More than once a week, but if you have to start somewhere, then start with Monday or one day out of the week.

I already posted my favorite one pot pasta dish. i actually had left overs tonight, so so good. My goal is to post quick, easy, filling and inexpensive alternative meatless meals.

Feel free to post your meatless Monday recipes.
