For me to be able to feed my family a well balanced vegetarian diet and be organized, I try to plan a weekly meal plan. It helps our food budget inadvertantly as I always check the fridge and pantry first to see what we have lots of to use up - rice, noodles, pasta, couscous etc. We also have access to a great little farmers market as well as our own backyard veggie patch. I try and plan meals around what is fresh, local and in season. I am still not used to going to the supermarket and finding EVERYTHING available year round. The food miles make me shiver!
This weeks dinner menu looks like this:
Peppercream vegetables w/ brown rice
Lentil balls w/ tomato and rocket
Sugar snap and snowpeas w/ tofu, pistachios and soba noodles
Pasta w/ brocolli, zucchini, blue cheese and pine nuts
Spaghetti w/ pear and walnut sauce
Thai veggie puffs
Lunches will mostly be leftovers or salad!
I will try and add recipes, links and/or pics as we go!
hi pipster, all those recipes look sooo yum. can you please put up the recipes for me? i think i have the thai vegie puffs already. mmmmm. i just started a blog called cookingunderinfluence because cooking under the influence was already taken. dont know if the photos are up yet...doug has them, but you can see what we've been getting up to. the cooking isnt as healthy...well some of it is, but if you put up your recipes then ill cook them and put photos up :) my excersising is going well but im still drinking way too much booze...but im hoping they'll eventually cancel each other out ?!?!
