I grew up during a time when meat and potatoes were standard fare at dinnertime. I can only imagine how my Dad would have reacted if Mom had dared to serve him a kale salad or a quinoa burger instead of a steak, medium rare. Oh, the horror! It’s really something if you stop to think about just how much our palates have evolved over the years. I have an adventurous spirit when it comes to food that my parents and grandparents would have never dreamed of.
This Fresh Take on Meals Meatless Recipes Collection is a sponsored opportunity with Foodie via Mode Media. I selected all the recipes myself, and all opinions are my own.

There are so many wonderful meatless recipes to choose from these days. I remember when I first began to incorporated a meatless Monday into my meal planning, but now it’s not uncommon for my family to have several meatless meals throughout the week. In fact, my daughter and granddaughters prefer to skip the meat most meals. I love having packs of veggie burgers on hand to make sure we are getting enough protein.
MorningStar Farms products are perfect for easy meatless meals. Just because you start with a MorningStar Farms veggie burger doesn’t mean you have to have veggie burgers for dinner. There are countless ways to use those veggie burgers in your recipes! I can’t wait to make the Spicy Black Bean Enchiladas in my recipe collection above. The recipe uses Morningstar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burgers, and is simple enough for a busy weeknight.
There are so many great reasons to enjoy a meatless meal. Meat is so expensive these days, so a meatless meal is budget friendly. It’s also good for your health. Eating less meat will encourage you to eat more veggies, and that’s a really good thing.

I have been thinking of eliminating meat out of our meals one or two days a week. The costs seem to have skyrocketed lately, and our grocery budget is taking quite the hit because of it. Thank you for highlighting some great recipes that will get us started in the right direction.
My husband is a meat and potato (rice, pasta) person. I could do without it. When I make spaghetti, his first question is always about meat in the sauce or meatballs. I buy our meat on sale. If it’s full price I don’t touch it. I wish I could get him to try other things.
I think I would like to try some pumpkin bread pudding. It sounds really delicious.
We do meatless meals a few times a week. I have a few extended family members that are Vegan. We love to try all the new recipes. It always tastes just as good as our meat meals.

I rarely eat red meat and since that only leaves a few meat options, I end up eating meatless meals often because otherwise it starts to feel like I’m eating the same dish all the time. Chicken every day, no thanks. Thanks for all these, now I have now ideas to try on my meatless days!
Oh thank you, thank you , thank you! I have been looking for more meatless meals! I will definitely be pinning this!
I’d like to try the black bean enchiladas. I’m a nut for Mexican food and cheese and like to use beans as my Meatless Monday protein substitution.
