Fiesta Friday #473

For those observing Lent and practicing abstinence, today is the first no-meat Friday. And to that, I’d say right on! Not that I’m religious or anything, but anytime I can cut down on meat consumption, especially red meat, I’m on board.

I’ve been trying to introduce more plant-based meals to my family and myself, and I have to say everyone is cooperative so far. We still eat meat, obviously, but I’ve been able to reduce the portion by offering more plant-based sides.

Dare I say, we’re actually starting to prefer eating this way.


So for dinner tonight I’ll be making Tuna Poke Bowl, similar to the one below but with even more vegetable options for toppings. I think I’ll add marinated tofu cubes and shelled edamame beans to the lineup.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?!

I hope the husband will not turn his nose up at the tofu and edamame. He’s the most resistant to non-meat proteins. The last time I made veggie burgers, he ruefully observed that they would have tasted even better if ground beef and/or bacon were added. That man!

Now let’s look at these:

Yucatan Style Black Beans with Pork – Frijol Con Puerco

“I love the look of this black rice and beans! And you can’t go wrong with rice and beans – they’re comforting, filling, and nutritious.” — Angie

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cream Pie

“There is nothing, a slice of sweet pie can’t solve.” – Jhuls

Sataras

“This Sataras is perfect for a weekend brunch. So much better than your regular plain scrambled eggs! Such a pretty name for a dish, too.” — Angie

Un-Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

“I love this low-carb meal – filling and satisfying.” — Jhuls

    Hi, Angie; getting more vegetables in our meals is exciting, and you are right, after a while it becomes a preference. Thank you for hosting another great party and also for featuring my Yucatan Style Black Beans with Pork; this week I am sharing #30 Chocolate Covered Corn Flakes. Have a wonderful week!

      You’re welcome. I’ve bought dried black beans so I can try your black bean recipe. I normally use can beans but maybe that’s why the rice doesn’t get as dark.
