A Red Meat & Poultry-Free Month-Day 11

Hummus slider,anyone?

Let me bring you up to date,my mother,auntie,and I have vowed to go on a red meat,and poultry free diet for a month. My mother suffers from heart issues and is in chronic pain from the loss of cartilage in knees. I know how great I have felt when I did not eat meat,so I challenged her for a month,with support of course and so far,so good! We drink fantastic smoothies most mornings for breakfast, we make great sandwiches and snacks with hummus. We are allowed to consume seafood for the month,and have eaten some great stuffed salmon. Just the other day I fixed stuffed manicotti shells with fresh spinach and mushrooms,to which I added alittle sundried tomatoe,and it was delicious,simple food,with lots of flavor. I will probably prepare my blackbean burgers some time during the week to come. I made a vegetarian tortilla soup last year,so I may do that-I have two avocadoes that need to be used. I have a thousand cookbooks so I'll peruse them,and look online for some suggestions. Keep your fingers crossed,the month is just beginning.
