Meatless Monday Recipes!

 

 

Meatless Monday is a global movement with a simple message: one day a week, cut the meat. It was launched in 2003 as a non-profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, working with the Center for a Livable Future (CLF) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The goal is to reduce meat consumption by 15% for our personal health and the health of the planet. 

Now entering its second decade, Meatless Monday is embraced in over 40 countries and in over 20 languages! How cool is that?
