Now on the nights when I have yoga class (my Thursday class gets me home at 9p.m. and I surely don't want a heavy meal right before bedtime, but I can't eat dinner when I get off work and head to a 7p.m. class - talk about yucky, yoga on a full stomach? No thanks) I do whatever I can to eat lightly, eat intentionally, and to not eat meat.
Somehow meat and yoga don't mix in my head, either.
The mushroom caps I picked up were stuffed with fresh spinach, mozzarella shredded part-skim cheese and seasonings - I know there was oregano in there, and probably a touch of garlic. I input everything to Weight Watcher's e-tools and got 2 points per cap! With some Morrocan Olive Artisan bread and seasoned olive oil, the entire meal was 7 points, and as vegetarian (but not vegan) as you can get!
(I ate one last night after class and one tonight when I thought I could manage to snag a photo for you, but you know what? I was too hungry and I never thought about pulling out the camera! I'm sorry...believe me tho' they're really good!)
Hmm...that makes it meatless Thursday, and meatless Friday, as well as mostly meatless Monday so far this week! But considering the fact that eating lower on the food chain is easier on the environment, as well as on my own physical being, I'm happy about that.
This is a work weekend, as I've got a show next weekend. So I stopped by the library to pick up my "reading material!" (ok, one of those is actually printed material...)
I'm "reading" Hot, Flat, and Crowded this evening...while I cut and sew handcrafted bags for my show next week...
(thank goodness for books on CD!)

Good luck with your sewing and for more meatless days! The mushrooms caps sound really good. Would love to hear what you think of the Friedman book.
It sometimes kills me when I hear how inconvenient it is to whip up a "real" meal (vs fast food).
The portabella caps sound yummy! I probably will never go meatless but we don't eat much more than chicken, fish and bacon. Bacon is the only food I feel badly about, pigs are adorable & smart.
Hot, Flat & Crowded is pretty interesting.
Mmmm mushroom caps! Glad you found something yummy, good for you and low in points! *hugs* :)
