Whew! That was a busy weekend indeed! Sometimes, as much as I try and hope to plan things out ahead of time for the blog, it just doesn’t work out – so last night I was scrambling a bit thinking OK what can I make that’s easy, cheap, quick, meatless, and delicious for today’s post
Lunch
Meatless Monday: Mashed Chickpea & Pesto Sandwich
This sandwich reminds me of a chicken salad or egg salad sandwich; it has a rich, creamy texture, and is very filling, BUT it’s vegetarian and can be dairy free (if there is no parmesan in the pesto you choose)! The avocado mixed with the mashed chickpeas creates a creamy-like texture, which is a much

Meatless Monday: ‘Clean Eating’ Fried Rice
Fried rice is always a delicious and filling dish.. but not always the healthiest. Most often, it is overloaded with sodium, high in fat and calories, and made with refined white rice.. booooo!

Veggie Chip Chicken Strips
Yum. That’s all you have to say about that picture, I know. Double yum. At work the other day, one of the lovely ladies brought in a bag of TERRA exotic vegetable chips. If you’ve never had these before, go out and get a bag, today. They are so delicious! Ok, so I’m

Peanut, Lime & Prawn Curry
Mmm curry. This is another Thai inspired dish that is unbelievably delicious, easy to put together, and healthier than the traditional coconut curry thanks to a few easy swaps!
