The Red, White, and Green

Meatless Monday, which was started by The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as a way to encourage Americans to adopt a healthier diet, is now gaining traction globally as an environmental movement. Related efforts have taken off in Belgium and the UK (it always helps to have Sir Paul involved), and it seems that media coverage is picking up, as well: Both the The Washington Post and The Huffington Post feature MM articles today. 

To keep pace, the MM site (the original one) has introduced a slew of new features: Visitors can now rate and comment on recipes, learn about in-season fruits and vegetables to incorporate into vegetarian recipes, and officially sign the pledge to go meatless on Mondays. 

So, what’s for dinner tonight? It’s starting to heat up here in Southern California (although at a current 76 degrees, I really can’t complain), so I think it’ll be the perfect evening for my Fresh Summer Frittata, which is featured on today’s home page of the Meatless Monday site. While it is a hearty breakfast recipe, serve it at room temperature for the perfect light summer dinner to whip up when you’re too tired to really cook or at the end of a busy workday, which this one is shaping up to be with the publishing of my first article for The Huffington Post.
