Menu Planning Tuesday????

Ok. So it’s Tuesday and I’m just now posting my menu plan for the week (You may have noticed I didn’t even get to it last week- FAIL).  If you live in the mid-west (Ohio / Kentucky) than you, like me, have been dealing with some intense snow and sleet issues.  On top of that, my Mom-who cares for the boys during the day, has been sick so I’ve worked from home both days this week. To say it’s been a little crazy would be an understatement Fo-Sho.

So, here it is. In all it’s glory. My menu plan for the week. I am still primarily playing around with a heavy vegetarian menu.

Monday - Black Beans & whole grain rice with turkey sausage, green & red peppers, onions and shallots
THIS WAS AMAZING! I was nervous about using whole grain rice but it was great.

Tuesday - Vegetarian quesadilas with green & red peppers, tomato, and more.
These rocked. Will be sharing the recipe on Monday!

Wednesday -White Chicken Chili

Thursday - Vegetarian Wraps with avocado, roasted red pepper humus, tomato and cucumber

Friday - Vegetarian Chili with meatless crumbles, corn, red beans and tomatoes
I’m modifying a Rachel Ray recipe for Turkey Chili

Saturday - Wraps/Grill Cheese Sandwiches with Chili

Sunday - Grilled  chicken marinated in jerk seasoning with southwest corn, boiled red skins and corn bread

Next week I’m hoping to try out a few recipes from this month’s Vegetarian Times. I’d never heard of the magazine before my boss lent me her copy late last week. It’s got some great recipes that I am eager to try out.

    YUM! You need to share the recipe for your Monday dish too. That sounds great.

    I just subscribed to Vegetarian Times last month. It’s such a great publication. Makes things very simple.

    Looks like a great week! I need to get up the nerve to try a few of your ideas…to see if they will fly in this house. They sound healthy and yummy to me. :-)

    Laura -
    Will def. get you that recipe. Was so good and super easy to make.
    Marcy – It’s all about getting them to not notice that there is no meat involved.

    I get VT and it’s a great magazine. It’s def. helped me spice up dinner time at our house. it can be hard when you go Vegetarian/borderline vegan to find good recipes.

    Those sound so delicious! All of them!

    You have to try Clean Eating (magazine) too. It’s fantastic and everything is so yummy! You will love it!
