Meatless Monday

I'm always looking for recipes that are clean eats, but that my family will love and any time that I can have a meatless recipe to save money, the better.  I love Pinterest for this reason! 

Recently, I made Lentil BBQ and believe it or not, my family ate it up.  Even my kids ate it up!  Just a quick post today to share this recipe with you.  I'd love to hear your favorite meatless recipes!
