There are many different buzz words that explain this phenomenon: flexitarian, semi-vegetarian, and week day vegetarian; where you only eat meat on the week-ends. But anyway you want to say it, you are cutting back on the meat you eat. Some do it for health reasons, animal rights, the environment or all of the above!

Honey Mustard dressing

1/3 cup prepared mustard
1/3 cup honey
 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar 
 1/2 cup mayonnaise
 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 whisk  together until well blended.  


Very good on sandwiches and salad. I have it for my lunch today..
I even saw a recipe that used Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (for vegans) instead of the mayo. I might try that seeing how I don't really like or have  mayonnaise in the house all the time..
