After 26 weeks of Meatless Monday recipes, I’m not quite ready to move onto Round 2 yet. The number of amazing creations submitted each week is incredible! In fact, I want to spend some time today featuring one participant’s recipe from each week.

I love dates, ginger and lentils….and soaehow they all can tend to get missed for a whole. I love the reminders of ingredients that I need to bring back into circulation!

Yay – I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who wanted to reminisce a little and remember some of these amazing recipes! :)
Sorry for all the typos!! That was obnoxious. I’ll admit, I was commenting using my phone, while on the elliptical! Multi-tasking at it’s finest. ;)

Me too – what a great idea! :)
I felt weird not having a Meatless Monday A-Z recipe to post today….but I am glad you are highlighting some of the best ones (and not just because you featured two of mine ;)). I often miss many of the linked-up recipes, and now I have something to drool over and dream about all day…

Yea, it is a little weird, but hopefully that just means you’ll be excited about starting round 2 soon! :)
All this food looks amazing! I wish I was this creative.

I didn’t used to be creative either, I hated not following a recipe. You can do it! :)
like Sarah, I feel weird without a #MMAZ “assignment” today ;)
it’s nice to have a break, though I am looking forward to the next round.
I really liked UDON week, because I created (in my opinion…) something awesome that I really do make a lot now. I loved jalapeno week because… well I love jalapenos and my creation that week was another fun one. the caperberries was a fun week, being something new I had never used before.
I try to click through to every recipe each week, but I see a few here I missed… off to see them now! Happy Monday!

A few weeks off to make the heart grow fonder. :) I think Udon might have been my favorite week too – since it inspired me to make Pho at home!
Great recap – I need to check out the lentil crackers recipe since I just cooked off a bunch of lentils yesterday.

I didn’t really remember those until creating this recap either. Did you end up making them this week?
There were so many good entries over the weeks. Great roundup!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..Marvelous in My Monday
Agreed – so many talented people!
I love that you are recapping! I missed a couple of those and want to check them put. Thanks for highlighting my edamame. I had forgotten about it! Time to revisit!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..Microwave Protein Carrot Cake
Yay – I’m glad you’re enjoying the look back, as well. There are so many recipes I still want to make & it helps me remember!
We only made it to one link-up party (quinoa) this round, but I am going to try to make more for round #2! These recipes are so inspiring! I really want tot make the fig bars and lentil crackers :-)
Lindsey @ Pas de Deux recently posted..Maca for Breakfast
Woohoo- glad to hear you’ll be back for round #2 – it’s going to be so much fun!
Ahh, thank you for doing a recap! I missed out on seeing some of these! I really enjoyed kale week…and I definitely got a run for my money during fig week! I am sooooo not a baker! Lol! Ohhh, if only figs could be in season year round!
I’m really hoping I can participate more with this coming round…I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated by a few of the ingredients (artichokes, hominy, and well, lentils don’t really like me so much) but I really did want to create something each week…it was just so hard to find the time to create, test, AND photograph! Maybe I can make it a plan to do at least every OTHER ingredient next round! :)

I think you might like some of the changes I have planned for Round 2 to make it easier to keep up. Stay tuned!!
So many great looking recipes! I love the idea of vegan bacon-wrapped dates. That’s adorable!
Alaine @ My GF DF Living recently posted..Vegan Shamrock Shake
Yes – I couldn’t agree more. I’m so glad to have met new talented people through this first round, so I could create many of these recipes at home!
I want to move in with you and eat your food! :)
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..Coconut Carob/Chocolate Muffin
Sounds like a great idea! :)
Those whole-wheat Fig Newtons look amazingly delicious!!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl recently posted..“Meatloaf” Veggie Burgers
I know, I really need to make those!
Lots of good stuff! I’ve saved the bacon-wrapped dates recipe to try, thanks!
