Hey fashion freaks! This is Mich, your webmistress and editor of the Lip Service webzine (as well as a dedicated omnivore who took the Meatless Monday pledge a few years back). I wanted to take a few moments out to introduce you to our newest section, one near and dear to the hearts of many of the folks on the Lippy team, Meatless Mondays.
You are already familiar with our great vegi leather clothes, but did you know one of the main reasons behind Lippy’s great selection of alternatives to animal-based materials? Drew and many members of the Lippy team are committed vegetarians and vegans. So, of course, supporting Meatless Mondays is kind of a no-brainer. But, we all wanted to really put our money where our mouths are with a bigger commitment and ways to help all who want to join in make skipping meat one day a week easy, tasty, and healthy.
The new Meatless Monday section will include recipes and tips from members of the Lip Service staff, Blacklist writers, special guests, and … YOU! Every Monday, we’ll have great ideas for making your Meatless Mondays more delicious, as well as some stunning foodporn for your viewing pleasure. We would love to share your info, recipes, tips, and that drool-worthy photo of your Meatless Monday feast. Please, if submitting a recipe you did not write yourself, make sure to note your source and include the link so we can give credit where it’s due.
How can you share your Meatless Monday? Just email the editor or submit directly through the webzine!
I know some of you out there on the inter-webs can be a bit dubious about this whole Meatless Monday idea and think it might be (choose one): a pain in the ass, unsatisfying, boring, whatever. Even as a pretty advanced home cook and veteran food blogger and recipe writer, the raging omnivore in me wasn’t sure whether I could sustain regular vegetarian and vegan days.
I was totally wrong!
Hopefully, in sharing our experiences and experiments in food alchemy, we can help a few more dedicated omnivores over the initial doubts because it really does make a difference. Without taking into account the bigger-picture stuff, committing to going meatless can be a great way to get healthier and even help fit into that next size down.
If you do want to learn more about the bigger picture and what Meatless Mondays can do for your overall health and well being, check out the official Meatless Mondays website.
