Next weeks menu

Another week gone by already? Wow how time flies.


Time for a new menu.


I would like to bring to light that though I make a schedule sometimes plans change and we don't follow them perfectly. For example of this weeks menu. Thursday's meal was dropped completely and the rest moved days. I think it's important to be able to maintain at least a bit of flexibility in the plan to keep the stress level low.


The theme's this week are: the grill, pasta, Mexican, sandwich, casserole. I find it easy to build a menu around "themes" and of course what's in season.


Sunday: Burger night on home made buns from here - vegetarian
Monday: Spaghetti with homemade marinara and homemade Cheese sticks - vegan
Tuesday: Fajitas with Chipotle Cashew Cream from the vegan table - vegan
Wednesday: Portobello dip sami's on home made hoagies - vegan
                       For the Omni I am stealing this from my sister Marlboro man samis
Thursday: Cheesy potato bake (one vegan one vegetarian) curtsey's of my Aunt in law                                             
                       and of course i will be tweaking one a lot to suit my needs.

  1. They all sound good, but Wednesday's sounds especially yummy! Love portabellas. I like the idea of planning around a theme. I haven't heard of anyone doing that before. Great idea! PS: Hope you're having fun w/ the carrot canning!:)
