Meatless Mondays Recipe- Dirty Rice Mexicana


According to Kathy Freston's book, The Veganist,  if Americans ate one fewer meat dish per week we would save 7.5 million tons of grain that is used for animal feed which could then feed 25 million Americans that go hungry everyday.
Here is a delicious Vegan meal to honor Meatless Monday!
