Nutrient packed and meat eater approved! Start the new year with this detox recipe that packs a flavorful punch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy New Year to all you Happy Cowlings!
\nMay this year bring you everything your heart desires and more.<\/p>\n

I am a huge, gigantic, I want to throw my arms around them, fan of Meatless Monday<\/a>. They have done such an amazing amount of good in a relatively short amount of time.
\nI have interacted with many people who used to eat meat on Mondays and who no longer do because of Meatless Monday alone.
\nI am stoked to be contributing to the already awesomeness of Happy Cow and providing you with Meatless Monday recipes. Two of my fave organizations in one!<\/p>\n

I love to cook vegan food for meat eaters – it\u2019s one of my best things.
\nThe look of surprise when a meat eater bites into vegan deliciousness is enough to spark my creativity and start thinking about the next thing I will vegan-ize. The things I usually vegan-ize are comfort food type recipes, mac and cheese, lasagna, scalloped potatoes, etc…<\/p>\n

That being said, we are embracing a New Year and people tend to party during this particular Holiday Season (let\u2019s face it, December has its fair share of spirits,sugar,tempting treats and fewer trips to the gym) so I thought I would start off gently and bring you a recipe that is not only delicious (and meat eater approved) but will also help get your organs back on track!<\/p>\n

This dish is packed full of vitamin B, beta-Carotene, iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium \u00a0– all things essential for healthy elimination and detoxification.<\/p>\n

Make this as a side dish or throw it in a big bowl and call it dinner; either way it\u2019s a yummy, healthy start to an awesome year.
\nCheers and Yummy Food.<\/p>\n
