    Butternut Squash Enchiladas

    Any recipe with the word "enchiladas" in the title sounds good to me, so of course I was excited when I spotted these Butternut Squash Enchiladas from Vintage Mixer. The enchiladas are filled with cooked squash, corn, and two types of cheese and then baked in a flavorful Salsa Verde sauce. Sounds to me like a perfect main dish for Meatless Monday!  Read more >

    Vegan Lentil Chili

    It's count-down-to-the-Superbowl week, so I'm guessing a lot of people are on the hunt for the perfect chili recipe for the big game. Doesn't chili and the Superbowl just automatically go together? I'd never had chili made from lentils, but when I tried this Vegan Lentil Chili with Roasted Red Peppers, Olives, and Green Onion, I loved the slight sweetness that the lentils added to this barely-spicy chili. If you make this for Meatless Monday, I'm betting you might want to make it again soon, and maybe even for game day.  Read more >

    Grilled Tofu Salad

    I'm a huge fan of tofu, and I'm always looking for easy tofu recipes to expand my limited knowledge about how to cook it at home. This recipe for Grilled Tofu with Miso Dressing went right to the top of my "must try" list! Not only is the recipe quick and easy, but the Miso Dressing has so many of my favorite Asian flavors like soy sauce, ginger, and sesame. And if you happen to be cooking a special meal for Chinese New Year which starts today, this would make a great side dish!  Read more >

    Spicy Cauliflower Soup

    Did you know there are two holidays today? Of course everyone knows it's Martin Luther King Day in the U.S., but you might not know that it's International Hot and Spicy Food Day. As soon as I heard that I thought it would be fun to find something that was unexpectedly spicy for Meatless Monday. What I wanted was a hot and spicy recipe for a dish that's not normally hot and spicy, and Spicy Cauliflower Soup from A Veggie Venture fits that description perfectly. Most cauliflower soups are rich and creamy but this one is healthful and deliciously spiced with coriander, cumin, chili powder, and turmeric in addition to the red pepper flakes. Alanna says the inspiring recipe suggests you could eat it with a dollop of plain yogurt, and I'd definitely want that on mine to cool down the heat.  Read more >

    Squash Kale Pizza

    For anyone who may have dared to think that meatless pizza might be a tiny bit boring, may I offer this amazing-sounding Squash Kale Pizza from Bridget at The Way the Cookie Crumbles as this week's offering for Meatless Monday. I admit that since I've discovered how much I like kale I've become a bit kale-obsessed, and I think the idea of using it on a pizza is pure brilliance. Another thing about making pizza at home is that if you have family members who like different things, you can make half-and-half pizzas to please every taste.  Read more >

    Sweet Potato Chili

    For a week or so I've been wondering what would be the perfect meatless recipe to start the new year. Then I realized that the first Monday of the year is also the first Monday back to work for many people who've been enjoying the holidays. That's when it hit me that the perfect meatless meal for a re-entry Monday like this one would be a slow cooker recipe you could put in the slow cooker in the morning and cook on low while you're at work! Unfortunately I'm not sharing this recipe early enough for you to have done that today, but I'm sure that Slow Cooker Vegan Sweet Potato Chili from A Year of Slow Cooking would also taste great on Tuesday!  Read more >

    Black Bean Soup

    Every year on New Year's Day I have my annual soup party where family members, friends, and neighbors gather to sample an assortment of soups I've made the week between Christmas and New Year's. Last year this Vegetarian Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup with Lime was the hit of the party, so I thought it might be fun to feature it for the very last Meatless Monday post of 2011! (If you skip the yogurt or sour cream, this soup is vegan, and it's definitely one of my all-time favorite soups.)  Read more >
