Inspired by Kalyn Denny's new Meatless Monday column on BlogHer , I decided to cook five meatless meals for dinner last week. That said, if you made the vinaigrette and pesto the night before, it would be quick to wash the spinach, and make the pasta when you got home from work. Super tasty, but it took some time to make.

Some blogs that I read, and don't usually get to write about here, are food blogs, and photoblogs, which are often the same thing since food bloggers use lots of photos in their posts. They post photos of cupcakes from cupcake bakeries all over the world, and from readers who submit photos of their own creations.
