I would say I average 5 meatless nights a week. But, right now I am just cooking for me and meatless dishes make me happy.
That is cool but you still get meat for lunch so that is a good balance. I think that is what I am going to try to do. Like a few meatless meals at nite but have the salmon or chicken, turkey for lunch.

Some of my favorite meatless dishes:
Those sound good!

Home made pasta sauce with veggie crumbles, tomatoes, mushrooms over whole wheat pasta
I make h.m. sauce too and sometimes we don't even add any meat. Bell pepper, onion, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, I was thinking of getting brave and trying to throw squash in there as well.
What w.w. pasta is best? I tried a penne one recently from smart n final and hated it!
W.W Pizza....we make that about once every two weeks around here with the flour I grind. VERY yummy! I usually add tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, pineapple , olives,chicken, mozarella.

(too lazy to make pizza with Trader Joe's whole wheat dough)
You are not lazy, you work FT too!
Omelettes I wind up having about once a month, I rarely ever crave eggs.
The quesedillas sound good too and of course tacos are good any time! lol
Thanx so much for sharing!!

my favorite is Trader Joe's garlic chicken sausage, but you can check the label of any chicken sausage to see how healthy it is (some brands have a lot of fat).
Yeah I just noticed how fatty the ground turkey from smart n final was recently! Yikes! No T'J's up here.

A vegetarian variation is to cook the greens and onions in the same way, and then sprinkle them with feta, and serve over pasta. Any mixture of greens will work for these recipes - spinach, swiss chard, collards, kale, mustard greens, etc
.
Thanx for the recipe that sounds good!!

I just referenced 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,(one of my favorite books ever!) and Jonny Bowden says kale is possibly the highest ranking antioxidant vegetable on the planet. He said he eats it 5x a week by chopping it, mixing with pine nuts, dried cranberries, and olive oil. The oil softens it up and makes it more tender.
Thanx , I will have to add that book on to my stack of what I need to read, just found out the Pratt super food book came in for me at the library.
