Menu Plan Monday – Vegetarian Get Real Edition

Our family is following along with Get Real this year and we’re making great progress so far. It’s pretty exciting and, as we’ve discovered, an even tastier experience than we expected. This week’s vegetarian menu plan includes Pumpkin Black Bean Enchiladas and Baked Seitan Pepperoni Pizza.

Menu Plan Monday – Lisa

Back into the full swing of things in our house! Big kids are back at school, and daycare kids are returning to their normal schedules……ahhhh….can you hear this mom’s huge sigh of relief? I am gearing up for a OAMM cooking day, so trying to clear out my deep freezer and my fridge freezer of things that need to be eaten!

Menu Plan Monday – New Year’s Resolutions!

Now that the holidays are over, I’ll be doing a bit more cooking again and getting the kids back into a regular routine again. We also need to get back into the daycare and work routines again so a set menu for the week will be a life-saver when 5:00 hits.

Menu Plan Monday – Vegetarian Post-Holiday Edition

It’s another post-holiday week and it’s also gearing toward the start of the new year, when many of us will renew pledges of healthy eating. I for one, am excited to wrap up my 2011 New Year’s Resolution, 365 days of converting family favorites into vegetarian meals over at Veggie Converter, this week.

Menu Plan Monday – Whole Foods Hectic Edition

Each night my husband gets home from work and goes immediately downstairs and starts working again. We’re making good progress, but it sure does impede on my dinner plans since I’m corralling the toddler and trying to get food on the table. Yet again we’re relying on freezer meals to get us through!

Menu Plan Monday: The Crazy Holiday Celebrating Edition

Please tell me that your December is as action packed as mine! Cooking? HA! If it isn’t in the freezer ready to go, it isn’t happening. Between the cookie baking and holiday gatherings with friends and families I not only have little time to cook, we are barely around enough to eat that which I [...]

Menu Plan Monday – Holiday Leftovers Edition

The week after Thanksgiving, it’s all about using up those yummy leftovers without getting sick of them. So, we’re trying to create a few fresh ways to reuse our mock turkey, cranberries and even a few leftover sweet potatoes.

Menu Plan Monday – VeganMoFo Edition

October is Vegetarian month and also VeganMoFo (Vegan Month of Food), where more than 800 bloggers pledge to post vegan meals throughout the month. I’m participating for the first time this year over at Veggie Converter and while it’s certainly been challenging at times (I’m normally a not terribly finicky vegetarian who chooses not to [...]

Menu Plan Monday – Vegetarian Fall Flavors Edition

Fall and Winter and all those harvest holidays can be difficult for vegetarians (and I can’t imagine how tough for vegans) without a lot of forethought and preparation. But, with considerate (and maybe adventurous) relatives, we can enjoy awesome main dishes, too, and not just a smorgasbord of side dishes. You can find the newly veggie-converted recipes at VeggieConverter throughout the week.
