Summer has been going well for us. I've been working hard at keeping my son busy with
summer programs and reading, while I've been doing a lot of research and upkeep on Stacie Sayz So.
Last week, I got the chance to take a break from blogging and bring my son to see the Twins.
MorningStar Farms invited us to enjoy a game of Minnesota Twins baseball at that at Target Field. We hung out in a suite and enjoy delicious meatless foods from MorningStar Farms. The weather was hot and we were glad to cool off inside.
I love fixing veggie burgers for my family every once and a while and these were delicious! It got me thinking of more ways that I could incorporate Meatless Mondays into our diets.
Watching the Minnesota Twins in action. They won that game too. We must have been their good luck charm.
Did you know that if you chose to serve a Meatless Monday for your family it could have a positive impact on our environment? You learn something new every day! In fact, MorningStar Farms
Veg Effect Calculator showed their findings on what would happen if we swapped meat meals for veggie meals. Here's the results.
MorningStar Farms Results
When American Adults consume a meatless meal instead of one with meat, there is, on average, at least 40% less impact on the overall environment.
* This equates, per person, to 3 gallons of water and 24 square feet of land – not to mention reducing each person’s carbon footprint by 3.5 pounds.
* When you eat a meatless meal instead of one with meat, you can save, on average, 32 square feet of land that would be used to produce meat, 140 gallons of water, and the same amount of greenhouse gases you’d create from driving a car six miles.
* If every single American adult switched a meat- containing meal for a meatless one just once, we could save up to Two billion miles worth of greenhouse gas emissions from a standard car, 8.9 million acres of land – or enough land for more than 10,500 parks the size of Central Park, 46 billion gallons of water – enough to provide eight 8-ounce glasses a day to over three million people for eighty years.
That's deep isn't it? And I just thought veggie meals were good for me! Watch the video below to learn more.

Comfortable seats and the perfect breeze. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Have you tried Morning Star Farms foods? Do you currently have Meatless Monday in your home?
I was not compensated for this post.
How fun! A baseball game & veggie goodness. Yes, I have tried and love their meatless patties. We love meatless Mondays & serving veggie meals. Sammie just went with friends to a Dodgers game. I miss living close enough to go to games. They drove down with their dad's work group in a bus. Fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteBaseball games are a fun part of summer aren't they!
DeleteI went to my first baseball game last year and I didn't die!! I hate all sports but I'm trying to do better for the hubby
ReplyDeleteAw, that's sweet that you went with him. Bet he loved it.
DeleteHmmmm we don't do meatless mondays! All of that looked GOOD though! I'm going to look into the meatless patties.
ReplyDeleteI love making a veggie burger. My family doesn't complain much either.
DeleteWe have seriously been thinking about going vegetarian in our house! I have tried morningstar meatless patties and I do love them. the sausage patties too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried their sausage patties yet but will!
DeleteI can't convince my family that we can go meatless. I need to bring home some of this and see how it goes...
ReplyDeleteMy boys love meat to no end.Try it and see what they think.
DeleteWhat an awesome summer time activity for you and your son. I am a carnivore so its hard for me to imagine game day food without meat. But Morning Star did a great job of preparing a full menu fitting for the ball park.
ReplyDeleteAs I focus on my health and fitness, I have considered incorporating a meatless day into my menu planning. I usually use portobellos as a meat substitute.
Morning Star did an awesome job. I'd love to try a mushroom burger but my family hates them.
DeleteThis looks like a fun time, I've never tried a veggie patty of any kind. That pizza looks really freaking good though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of these items. I fast during lent so that time of the year I am always looking for some good meat substitutes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a VIP experience. I never had morning star food before because I am a meat eater but hey could of fooled me with these presentations!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a ball game since 2014. It was the Twins vs Yankees and the Twins won. It was my first time at Yankee Stadium and it was a cool experience
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves MorningStar Farms products! Since she is a vegetarian it gives her delicious meal options.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun times at the game, and hanging out in the suite! That food looks good too. I don't currently do many meatless meals, but I'n definitely open to trying some and seeing what Morningstar has to offer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience for your son. Adding some veggie meals into your diet adds balance.
