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.

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.
