What is Meatless Monday?

Meatless Monday is a national campaign to raise awareness of the nutritional benefits of eating a meatless diet at least one day a week. 

Facts About Meatless Monday

Meatless Monday:

  • Originated during World War I to reduce the amount of key food staples to aid the war effort.
  • Was revived again during World War II
  • Was revived yet again in 2003 as a public health awareness campaign
  • Was started in England in 2009 by Sir Paul McCartney (my childhood crush) 
  • Is now an international observance in twenty nine countries

Benefits of Meatless Monday

Eating meatless at least once a week will:

  • Help lower your cholesterol and saturated fat intake
  • Increase your fiber consumption
  • Increase your vitamin consumption
  • Reduce your impact on the environment by using fewer resources to grow our food
  • Reduce your risk of chronic preventable diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
  • Improve your chances of living a longer healthier life!

Homemade Pesto Recipes

Four homemade pestos

Homemade pesto is so easy to make. Just whirl it up in your blended or food processor and you’ll have a healthy “sauce” for dipping, tossing and topping!

Fresh Mint Spring Pea Pesto is bursting with springtime flavors. Fresh peas and mint put a new spin on the traditional pesto!

If you love pesto as much as I do then you have to try Pesto Florentine made with tender baby spinach leaves, almonds, garlic and a hint of fresh lemon.

A twist on a traditional pesto recipe, Carrot Top Pesto is an easy recipe that takes homemade pesto to an all new level of flavor!  Carrot greens and toasted pistachios are a delightful flavor combination in this homemade pesto recipe. 

Kale, the trendy super food, combined with toasted almonds, the healthy nut, make for a fabulously delicious and amazingly healthy Kale Pesto! Toss it with your favorite pasta for Meatless Monday, top chicken or fish, serve with vegetables……the possibilities are endless!
