Happy Meatless Monday! Well, I guess everyday is Meatless Monday for me since I am a vegetarian! But I couldn’t be happier that it’s grown to be so popular. In fact, I am thrilled with how many options there are today for vegans and vegetarians. Even in the last few years the market has grown hugely. The selection of non-dairy and plant based items at the grocery stores, fast food places, and coffee shops has to speak volumes about the shift in food preferences of the consumers.
I have to say that the spread of these vegetarian food items has opened up a few more options for my husband and I in terms of eating on the run. Typically, fast food has been out for me unless I want a fry and a salt packet. Not anymore! I am happy to report that I went to White Castle for the first time in my life and ordered an Impossible Burger slider. Pretty solid. I prefer my all natural veggie burgers. But it’s all about progress, not perfection right.
For those of you that have never tried any of the awesome vegan and vegetarian options I would say this, don’t be afraid to try something new. Who knows, you might surprise yourself and find that you like it so much that Meatless Monday spreads to the rest of the week.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
