Independence Day Meat Free Monday Style

As a contributing member of society, I have elected to take part in the growing trend of meat free mondays. Not only is it good for your health, but it also is wonderful for the environment. There is less pollution to the planet and to your body by taking on this new phenomenon. While I do enjoy a great steak from time to time, it is not a core part of my diet, and I feel healthier for it.




This weekend marks America's 235th birthday, and to celebrate, millions of Americans will be firing up the BBQ and celebrating the country's independence. However, this Fourth of July happens to fall out on a Monday this year. I happened to stumble upon this Independence Day, vegan dish that can be used as my celebratory cuisine for America's birthday. Of course there are more meat-like recipes out there to replace the hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks that America loves to grill, but adapting to this healthier alternative is just like America becoming independent.
