Well Turkey day has come and gone and like everyone else in the world I may have indulged a little too much. But you can't let one day derail you or set you back, and though the holidays are fun we still have to keep our long term goals in mind. Enter Linsday (Lean Green Bean) and Elle (Nutrionella). They have started a SUPER FUN way to network with others to stay motivated through the holidays, Elf for Health! They pair you up with other individuals and you help keep each other on track through all kinds of challenges they have set up for you over the next few weeks.

Day 1: Meatless Monday
Todays challenge was to email your buddy (mine is Julia - everyone say HI JULIA!) a quick and easy veggie recipe to try! Well you know me sometimes I get a little carried away and I might have sent her a whole slew of recipes! And since I took the time to hunt down all these fun recipes I thought I would share so if you want to add Meatless Monday to your weekly routine you'd have something ideas to try!
Below are some salads, soups (since it is chilly outside) and lots of dinner options. (And even a breakfast option since I know some people like pancakes for dinner!)
I cook a lot of my meals from blogs I read. Most of my meals are either my husbands creations or from Skinny Taste, How Sweet It Is, or Peas and Crayons! If you don’t read those blogs you should definitely check them out. They have great skinny and fast tasty recipes!

Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle – MY FAVORITE
Sometimes if I’m short on time I’ll just buy black bean burgers in the store and then follow the rest of the recipe.
