Meatless Monday: Peas and rice with spinach

In an attempt to keep our family a little bit healthier, we're going to try going meat-free on Mondays (check out http://www.meatlessmonday.com/). Not only will our arteries thank us, but so will our wallet! Plus, there's the added bonus of Meatless Mondays forcing me to start weekly meal planning again. :-)

I forgot about staying meat-free at lunchtime, and the kids each had a slice of turkey baloney with their lunch of pasta, yogurt, veggies, and fruit. Oops. But I remembered for dinnertime! We had zipper cream peas, white rice (I know, I know, but I hate brown rice!), and spinach sauteed with garlic and mushrooms. YUM.


Doesn't this look delicious? Oliver doesn't like cooked spinach, so he ate a handful of raw leaves instead. :-)


The kids cleaned their plates, with the exception of a few grains of rice. :-)


Are you planning on going meat-free on Mondays?
