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
- Alfredo Sauce
- Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- Freshly grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese (Of course, I like using my Ninja Chopper to grate mine easily and quickly! We’ve said GOODbye to the fake parmesan forever!)
- Pizza Dough (I used Meijer Organics pre-made for convenience)
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.
Cook until cheese is melted.
Serves 4 .
Post Dinner Analysis
This is my favorite pizza. Use leftover alfredo and vegetables to utilize those leftovers.
Freezer Friendly
Freeze before cooking.
Meat it Up
Add chicken.
Vegan Option
Use vegan cheese.

June 20, 2011 at 7:16 pmThanks 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.
