It’s been awhile since I’ve posted menu plans! I’ve been so-so on meal planning in general these last few months — though I ADORE my meal planning software, Plan To Eat, which allows me to import recipes from all over the web as well as add my own, and then drag and drop them into the weekly/monthly planner (for full disclosure, I do get a commission/discount if you sign up by clicking on the link over there in my sidebar—>). So I’d say 75% of the time I do get to meal planning (well, dinners anyway), but taking the extra effort to post them here is often more than I am up for. But here I am this week, and it’s still Monday even! Yahoo!
Monday: Bean, veggie & grain soup (using the Bob’s Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix as a base, and adding chicken broth, fennel, onions, sweet potato, celery, garlic, ginger and curry powder), pumpkin/zucchini bread (from the freezer), whole wheat pasta, and asparagus. The soup is soooooo good, can’t wait to eat!
Tuesday: Vegan lasagna (similar to this, but with some additions/substitutions), green salad or waldorf salad. Taking one to my cousin and her awesome family today, as well. Their recent commitment to eating vegan to help fight cancer is very inspiring! Check out our group Pinterest board “Dairy-free, Vegetarian, Vegan” of healthy recipes here!
Wednesday: Balsamic honey pulled pork sliders (from the slow cooker) on whole wheat buns, broccoli, applesauce
Thursday: Pizza night at our fave local pizza place, Proletariat Pizza! While we are there we’ll definitely check out the Occupy Seattle photography show (part of White Center art walk, woohoo!)
Friday: Leftover buffet. Oh yeah. How about an unholy mix of vegan lasagna and pulled pork? Haha.
Saturday: Grownup dinner out! We are headed to see Keller!!!!!
Sunday: Quinoa & black beans (maybe with some shrimp? Yum yum!) with corn, tomato, avocado, steamed or sautéed kale (from the garden, yes, still, we have year round kale!).
Kale, early March of last year
Kale this January -- we ate this very kale last night for dinner, and it was tender and delicious!
