Meal Planning Monday*

775076054_72e3213b47.jpg

I’ve never been good at meal planning, unless you count “order out” as a plan.  Now that we’re eating vegan, I pretty much have no choice but to cook.  This may have been daunting in the past, but since we’re committed to getting healthy (and thanks so some nice new pots and pans) I’ve discovered I actually *like* to cook.  Who knew?

The only way for me to cook regularly is to shop for a week or two in advance, because I just don’t have the time to go to the store every other day.  Add to that the fact that I like buying “bulk” (nice to meet you, Costco), and I’ve finally started sitting down with my cookbooks and magazines and now plan our meals.

So, without further adieu…

Here’s what’s on tap for this week:

  • Monday:  Baja Style Grilled Tempeh Tacos
  • Tuesday: (Small Group night) Veggie burgers, Roasted Waffle Cut Potatoes, Green Salad with Shallot Dijon dressing
  • Wednesday:  Hummus Platter with whole wheat pita, cucumber, tomato (Hubby will be out)
  • Thursday: Mama’s Night Out!  I’m sure hubby and kids will have some Amy’s frozen dinners.
  • Friday:  Penne Vodka, Roasted Asparagus
  • Saturday:   Roasted Portobello Salad
  • Sunday:  Veggie Stir fry with Tofu

Breakfasts are green smoothies, lunches are usually salad, fruit, hummus, etc.

What are you cookin up?

    I love that you have gone Vegan! You have no idea.

    I’m back to be flexitarian. Probably go full veggie again when husband is home and we get the extra money for him being home.

    I love that you are meal planning though!

    p.s. when you can…I would love it if you posted a good hummus receipe or good premade brand to buy from!
