Cutesy jingles. This meatless Monday thing, I’m getting the hang of it. Don doesn’t like the idea of meatless Mondays (Boys. They like meat). Even worse for him is that Tuesdays end up being meatless, or at least pescatarian, because we do Taco Tuesdays at Rubio’s and eat nothing but fried fish tacos (Tuesdays are also Teatime Tuesdays, and I lay off on the coffee).

Cooking Instructions: Step 1: In a large bowl mix all batter ingredients together until smooth. Step 3: To make the sauce.
