Meatless Mondays is a weekly feature which will showcase some of my hits and probably misses with living a meatless life. Many of you know I stopped eating meat about a year ago for personal reasons. While, I haven’t had any desire to go back to eating meat, it has been a struggle to find healthy foods to eat.
Everywhere you go, meat is the main dish. Since I was new to this lifestyle, it led me to eating unhealthy options. I’m on a path now to cook healthier options at home without meat. While going meatless is a personal choice for me, you can still save money by having one meatless meal a week.
Will you join me on this journey by preparing one meatless dish every week?
Spinach and Tomato Pizza
Ingredients
- Spinach
- Roma Tomatoes, sliced
- Vidalia or yellow onions

Brush a little olive oil on the dough. Coat with alfredo sauce. Top with spinach, roma tomatoes, onions, mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan-Romano Cheese.

Hi Briana, I’m a new and happy subscriber. I enjoyed your meatless Monday – Yay! It’s looks so yummy, and having giving up meat (totally) two years ago, these recipes have extra appeal to me. Spinach and tomatoes are soooooo good for you. Congrats on such a yummy and healthy recipe! Cheers!

Thanks for sharing this. Due to various stomach issues I have been going without meat quite often. I do have the tiniest amount of chicken on rare occasions but have been learning that I can go without that.
Allrecipes has an awesome black bean burrito recipe that is now one of my staples. Also been able to master making a vegetable korma. Slowly but surely replacing old recipes with new meatless favorites.
