THE PULSE

You’ve probably heard that eating less meat is good for your health—and the environment. You’ve probably even heard of Meatless Mondays – when you dedicate one day a week to eating all vegetarian meals.

It’s actually pretty easy to eat meat-free, but things get tricky when you start watching your carbs. Most people find it easy enough to scramble up a low-carb breakfast and eat a salad for lunch once a week, but finding low-carb meatless dinners the whole family will enjoy? That’s another story. To keep things simple, we’re sharing 5 of our favorite dinner recipes for your first month of Meatless Mondays. Bon Appetit!
