Wheatless Wednesday: Green Olive, Walnut, and Pomegranate Salad This unusual salad comes to us from food blogger Alexandra Stafford, who doesn’t follow an exact recipe when she makes it (her notes accompany the recipe below). It’s hearty enough to be a meal on its own, or, you can add some brown rice or quinoa to the mix to make it even more substantial. Tell us what you think in the comments!
Meatless Monday: Almond French Toast We’re big fans of breakfast for dinner. Not only is it always tasty, but it’s also an easy way to go meatless.

Meatless Monday: Orange Glazed Chickpeas with Sesame Grilled Zucchini Back when “Meatless Mondays” were officially invented during WWI, the powers that be only considered beef, pork, and lamb and mutton to be meat. For a number of varied and modern reasons, we count poultry and fish, too. So for our new Meatless Monday recipe series, we’re looking to non-animal sources of protein, and this recipe for chickpeas and veggies fit the bill perfectly. This recipe comes courtesy ofThe Diva Dish — enjoy!
Weekend Recipe: Brown Soda Bread A simple, no-rise bread with Irish roots is just the thing for a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. This rendition from KCET’s Cook’s Country uses two flours and wheat germ for a hearty texture — it’s an excellent base for flavorful European butter, if you’d like to go entirely Old World with it. And we recommend that you do.
