I'm interested in cutting down my meat intake for a number of reasons. I used to eat a portion of meat at nearly every meal. I've been cutting down to once per day, and I'd like to go down to 2 or 3 times per week instead. I don't think that I want to go down to vegetarian or flexitarian levels, but I am interested in simple, cheap, filling and healthy meals that involve little to no meat (beyond obvious stuff like salad). I have most average kitchen amenities, but no pressure cooker. I'd really like stuff I can get 2 or 3 servings out of. Cookbook or website recommendations are also very welcome.
