Meatless Mondays! I love the alliteration- and the challenge it brings. I am currently reading Food Matters, by Bittman. One of the challenges set forth is to reduce your footprint in what you consume. One way to do that is to eat less meat, especially red meat. So, our first goal will be to have "Meatless Mondays". This recipe is one that the family enjoyed tonight and we will do again.
