Happy earth day!

From what I know, the #1 one way you can help reduce your impact on the earth is to reduce your meat consumption.

For years now, I have been collecting vegetarian or vegan recipes online mostly through Delicous, a social bookmarking site. Today seemed like the perfect day to share my favorites with you.

Enjoy!
