Let's Talk - Meat Alternatives

Trying meat alternatives can be good for the environment and your health. Meat has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and obesity. Trying meat alternatives can also be an opportunity to try some new flavors and textures. If you want to watch me discuss, here's a link to my FB Live on meat substitutes.

• black bean burger

• chili can be tasty, hardy and filling with beans and without meat

• black-eyed pea soup

• flautas

• chickpea "hold the tuna" salad

• Ethopian curried lentils

• tempeh “bacon” alternative

• tofu scramble
