Meatless Mondays: 11/22 Menu

There's no doubt this country loves its meat. We eat more meat today than we've even eaten in the history of mankind. It's just a fact—but as most things go, this is beginning to taper off. Sure, California gave us a run with the vegetarian trend a while back, and yeah it's caught on all over, but there's something else happening now. People want to eat more vegetables. They want to learn more about the foods they refused to eat as a kid like cabbage and Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. And, in the process, they're eating less meat, which we know isn't easy for the meat lover to do.

Well, we're making it easy to not miss that protein. The bottom line is, when food tastes good, you wanna eat it. Meat or no meat. And, with yet another Meatless Monday upon us, there's some darn good food to be had tonight at baby bin...
