Good morning Tia, more than half of my meals are meatless due to affordability and personal choice.
Beans are a great choice, I use pinto beans a lot, as you can serve it as a soup, or mash it into refried beans for tostadas or whatever. That’s a regular meal for me, topped with shredded cabbage and lemon juice.
My bean recipe is simple, just onion, garlic, peppers (poblano or jalapeños) tomatoes, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Lemon juice to finish with.
I also make hummus with canned chickpeas, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Served with sliced cucumber, carrots, pita, etc.
Last weekend I made an Irish dish called Colcannon. It’s basically half mashed potatoes, half greens (cabbage, kale, etc). I tossed my mixture into a casserole dish and topped it with cheese. You can also add a fried egg to it.
The only meat I eat is pork, chicken, and fish, and it has to be on sale lol, hope this gives you some ideas!
