    Default How often to do have meatless dinners and suppers?

    Just wondering.

    We have them about half the time and I wanted to know if you guys have them often as well.

    At least 6 days a week for DD and I. We do eat chicken maybe 2-3x a month. DH eats meat maybe 2-3 nights a week.

    Usually once a week. DH is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. But I make meatless pasta or mac and cheese once a week.

    Once a week or so. DH will cry if I do it more. Then a revolt will begin & they'll start looking for a NEW MOMMIE!

    Probably about once a week. I'd like to serve them more often, though, but the family does enjoy their meat!

    Mine would thing the earth was crashing into the sun if I served more than one meatless dinner. She is under the belief that if she doesn't have a chunk of meat at all meals that she will probably die of something horrible. I've gotten very good at stretching meat. My best was hamburgers and 4 other people came over. I only had 1/2lb of beef. They didn't know theywere eating beef flavoured oatmeal!!

    I eat meatless when DH works nights and is not home for dinner.
    If however, he is home, we usually have meat or chicken. This man lives on meat.....but I do manage to squeeze in maybe 3 or 3 meatless nights a month on him...depends how creative I can get..

    We try to do 4 vegetarian menues a week; 2 seafood (usually salmon) and 1 chicken or pork.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    Once a week I try but that doesn't always happen. In the fall and winter months I can get away with it. if I make macaroni and cheese and brocolli cheese soup. I did make imitation crab cakes this summer with zuchinni and dh didn't notice and I just didn't say. (sneaky I know)

    Usually once a week & more often during the summer when fresh veggies are plentiful.

    I can eat any type of meals but DH is the picky eater & usually HTH meat especially steak! We have pasta occasionally & ravioli w/cheese filling, pierogi's, grilled cheese w/tomato soup, eggs, pancakes, breakfast as dinner sometimes w/bacon

    I was just looking @ this Aladdin Heat & Go I bought for Ma @ TARGET to heat her food up ahead of time if I have an appointment to go to this way it'll stay warm for her.

    On the pkg. I noticed this link for MEATLESS MONDAY I didn't get to check it out yet!
