Totally agree! I've been weaning my meat loving husband off meat slowly by reducing meat in recipes by half and filling the void with plants, e.g. 1/2 lb. ground beef and lentils for bolognese sauce or quinoa for meatloaf or mushrooms for burgers. He hasn't even noticed!
This is so timely! My husband and I just gave up both meat and plastics on January 1. We are making many more meals from scratch, but because we prep and cook 'in bulk' we're actually saving money and time - and grooving to some cool tunes while we do it! One vat of beans can be split to make chili (add onions, peppers, tomatoes and spices) and Minestrone (add tomatoes, garlic, basil, carrots, onion, celery kale, Italian herbs). We store these in mason jars in the fridge and they can be a 'fast food' lunch in themselves or a full meal with the addition of a salad and a thick slice of home-made bread. Yum!
Loving these actions, plus all the embedded recipes. I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while. This 30 day challenge is brilliant! Thank you, Anne Marie!
