Thanks!
I saw this and my first thought was, why isn't the Fed/NG helping with the cleaning issues, they help in nursing homes so why isn't the NG helping them clean? Food supply is a big deal. I'm also wondering if the meat co's realize they are just teaching us how to live without meat, sort of shooting themselves in the foot isn't it? I hope the workers all get through this safely - I'm just not sure this is all there is to it and antics aren't playing a part.
I am going to start reducing how much meat I use at every meal and doing full meatless every other day so my family gets used to this slowly. My daughter won't care but filling up my son will require extra PB&Js during the day I think, a bowl of hard boiled eggs or maybe I'll be sure to leave a heavy soup in the fridge for him snacking as he gets used to less protein. Butt that's ok, I'll figure it out.
I'm not big on directions and straight lines so I apologize to the by-the-book sorts, I'm a wavy line creative sort.
For meatless I do a lot of lentil, barley, split pea & black bean soup.

Going through a ton of eggs here:
Egg salad, hardboiled in salad, omelette, frittata, fried, scrambled, quiche. Depression era grandma did a lot of frying a cooked potato until browned then adding scrambled eggs, and also onion peppers with eggs in a sandwich.
Sartù di riso (Neapolitan Rice Timbale) by Frank, just no meat I guess -I did this 3-4 nights ago. Grandma also made this which is delicious, with or without tomato sauce, and she didn't use meat. The recipe calls for way more work then needs to be, I just put in a layer of ground beef with tomato sauce LOL
I put a can of tomato sauce in a pot to get it boiling - made the rice in its own pot at the same time(20 min too)
as they were cooking I browned ground beef ( totally not necessary)
*Into rice went about 1/4 cut tomato sauce, oregano, garlic and onion powder a bit of (1/2-1 cup) mozzarella and parmesan (maybe 1/8 cup)
*into meat went peas and tomato sauce, with meat I used a little can but without I'd prob do a big one- let thicken a bit so it will sit on top of the rice when it bakes. Grandma didn't use meat so I'm sure it's fine.
I got my lasagne pan out and smeared some oil in it then sprinkled some breadcrumb (Not needed but why not)
Layer of the rice mix, then the tomato mix, then the rice mix on top. Baked at 350 about 30 min.
No sauce grandma made looks like All Recipes Torte di riso, but there were no veggies, just rice goodness - never got the recipe, I'd ask and she's say to whip an egg or 2, add cheese and bake. My brother and I would fight over the extra crispy corners.
Stuffed peppers, boil rice & boil peppers cut in half and take the peppers out of the water and lay in a baking pan - if I am of the mind I'll boil the rice in the remaining pepper water for flavor
saute a bit of onion & garlic, add 3-4 cups cooked rice, 1-2 cans tomato soup (no water) 1/2-1 cup chedder or taco cheese & 2 teaspoons chili powder (I've used cumin if I don't have much chili)
Put this mix into the peppers and bake. I have also done this with laying pepper strips on top of a casserole if I didn't have a lot of peppers or just skipped the pepper and called it stuffed pepper insides LOL
Spaghetti pie with leftover pasta (I'm not picky) is like an easy baked ziti dish, leftover pasta of any kind 1/2 - 1 lb pasta- I put this in last 1/2 - 1 cup ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, a few shakes of parmesan, some shakes of italian spice or oregano and an egg - blend it then pour on top of pasta. then put into an oiled roast pan, I'm thinking the bread crumb thing might be nice here too. A splash of tomato sauce on top looks pretty
Saute' garlic or shallots in oil and whatever veggies you have then mix in pasta, in PA I was introduced to cabbage and noodles w butter which is sooo delicious.
Creamy tomato soup from Taste of home with Cambells tomato soup and cream cheese is amazing as soup, and my kids discovered is delicious as a pasta sauce
Mac and cheese
Broth with rice
Onion Soup w garlicy bread and cheese on top instead of traditional indulgent kind
Stuffed cabbage w just rice, Tyler Florence's recipe
Fish taco, whole foods taco sauce is amazing & I use any sort of round tortilla ish thing as a taco
