Must Have Monday.

Must Have Monday.

I needed to try for the first time the Morning Star Veggie Patties. I also had cabbage to use up and some new potatoes. When I make meals with stuff that needs to be used, I call it “must have” days. So for Must Have Monday we had the veggie patties, twice baked new potatoes and boiled cabbage. It was all awesome. We will definitely be adding the veggie patties to our menus again. They are made with mushrooms, peppers, water chestnuts, onions and carrots. They are low in calories and fat, but full of flavor.
