Menu Plan Monday: Week of March 24th, 2008

This week isn't too busy, so I am trying some new recipes.

Monday: Lentil, Radish, and Spinach Stuffed Pita w/ Carrot Salad (I didn't make it last week... so, I am trying it today!)
Tuesday: Better Than Bacon BLTs w/ Pasta Salad & Orange Wedges
Wednesday: Veggie Enchiladas w/ Side of Black Beans (I am making this one up)
Thursday: Pumpkin Pasta w/ Side Salad
Friday: DATE NIGHT!
Saturday: Crockpot Peanut Chicken w/ Brown Rice & Stir Fried Asian Veggies
Sunday: Leftovers!

So, I found this great new blog. It is called Kath Eats Real Food. She has some great ideas on there! She is also studying to become a Registered Dietitian. I absolutely love being an RD, and it is great to hear about others entering into the field of nutrition with a great outlook on food and health.

Have a beautiful day!

Menu Plan Monday: Week of March 17th, 2008

I am LOVING the second trimester so far... cooking and planning meals has returned to normal. Thank goodness!

So, here is this weeks meal plan:

Monday: BBQ Chicken Pizza w/ side of fresh pineapple
Tuesday: (We are having company) Swiss Chard Soft Tacos w/ sweet potato fries, side of mango
Wednesday: Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry w/ Brown Rice
Thursday: Lentil, Radish, & Spinach stuffed pita w/ Shredded Carrot Salad
Friday: DATE NIGHT! Hopefully Indian food!
Saturday: Leftovers or Honey Baked Lentils
Sunday: Potluck at church - Banana Bread and maybe something else

I am also MAYBE going to try this recipe for our company tomorrow: Raw Apple Pie. It sounds amazing and so very healthy... I will let you know if I try it! I am a bit nervous about trying it because if I mess it up, that is a lot of wasted expensive ingredients!
