Cookaholics Bulletin Board

I got a cookbook called "Almost Meatless" by Joy Manning and Tara Mataraza Desmond. It has meatless recipes and the ones with meat are used minimally, what I would call Chinese style, since they used to use meat more as seasoning than the main dish. We are just trying to cut down on meat.

So far I made Albondigas, made with steel cut oats, which was surpringly good, Sweet Potato Chorizo Mole (only 2 links of chorizo) Fish, Bean and Avocado Tacos (Wow!) and Chilaquiles, an egg dish.

I could never get my tribe to go completely meatless, but so far, they have liked everything I've made. We do observe meatless Friday, though. I still cook meat, but just a few days of less meat is a start.....

Thanks for the info on the cookbook. It sounds terrific; I have cut way back on meat, so it sounds like something that would really work for me.

KSS,

Is the ablondigas completely meatless, or just low-meat?

The Albondigas calls for 1/2 lb. lamb, but I didn't have it then, so I skipped it. So I guess you can do it either way. It probably would have been better with the lamb, but we didn't mind it without.
