3 Meatless and Dairy-Free Recipes for Monday Night Football

If there’s one thing that gets me more excited about football season is all the delicious finger foods and snacks that you enjoy while watching your team dominate your opponent.

Sure you can have your buffalo chicken wings, crab dips, burgers, hot dogs, nachos, and chip and dip, but have you ever considered going entirely meat-free on game day?

Not only are plant-based diets good for you and better for the planet, they can taste extremely delicious!

I encourage you to take the #MeatlessMondayNight challenge during Monday Night Football by sidelining meat and instead enjoy some delicious plant-based game day recipes that taste just as good as the normal ones.

Need some suggestions, here are 3 of my all-time favorites!
