Eggplant Meatballs
I love eggplant so I am always so excited to see clever ways to use eggplant – and this is definitely one of them! The recipe just requires you to cook the eggplant prior and mix with egg, almond meal and yummy seasonings. SO easy!

Zucchini Pizza Boats
These are a super cool way to get more vegetables in, in such a tasty way! The recipe uses pepperoni – but you can make it meat free and use some other vegetables. This recipe would be a super easy one to do with bolognese sauce on a non-meat free day! How yum would that be?

There is also another cool variation on the concept of Zucchini Pizza Boats. This one comes from 4 Ingredients.

Cauliflower Cheese Stuffed Capsicums
This easy recipe (and photo) from Divalicious Recipes looks amazing and is a great example of a meatless monday dish – provided you can have dairy! It features a lot of cheese and showcases capsicum and cauliflower perfectly. Serve it with extra vegetables / salads on the side and you have a very satisfying meal!
