patriotic shortcake and meatless adventures

The shortcake from my previous post that I made for our July 4th bbq. It. Was. So. Good.

And I'm always, always on the look out for meatless recipes that my family will enjoy! Since I know it's the healthiest way to go, it's good to be able to share great experiences with them - and things that convince them that they aren't losing or giving anything up. It's also a great way to help your budget and the planet! I'm thinking I might start a "meatless monday" post soon - to share ideas for meatless meals that your whole family will enjoy, not just your vegetarians.

This idea came from Kelleigh's post for "Lentil Sheperd's Pie". I'll be sharing my take on the recipe this upcoming monday! I'm considerably less on the cheese/dairy, and more on the seasonings. Our family mowed through an entire 9x13 pan for dinner with just a tiny portion leftover. ^_^
