Happy New Year!

This year my family and I have made a goal to eat healthier- smaller portions and more vegetables.

So I have decided to make a vegetarian meal once or twice a week for our dinner.  I am lucky that my whole family, kids included, loves vegetables

but I want them to know we can eat vegetarian meals that are more than just salads.

For encouragement, I put together this collection of over 85 hearty, healthy, and delicious meatless meals to try this year.

Here’s to a happy new year full of many new veggie filled meals and delicious dishes!

 I just love our Cinemark Bistro Theater! Leather recliners and amazing food {Ava devours the Pulled Pork Nachos every time} are just some of the perks of seeing movies here!

Movie day! Of course we not only all wore minion outfits

 but the girls also brought their minion pillow and doll!
