Menu Plan Monday - Veggies Galore

Menu Plan Monday for the week of June 9/14

 My plans for this week are to get in as many vegetables as possible.  With the fresh produce surrounding us, I want to use it.  We are waiting for our own tomatoes to ripen.  There is nothing like a tomato just picked from the vine.  It has such amazing flavor unlike what sells in the store during the year.

Sunday - Leftovers

 Monday - Pasta with Grilled Tomatoes and Zucchini Pesto 









Tuesday - Inside Out Lasagna

 Wednesday - Salmon and Eggplant Curry

 Thursday - Garden Pizza

 Friday - Pastrami Meatballs

 Saturday - Hash Brown Omelet

 Please check out Menu Plan Monday for wonderful ideas to put on your table.

    Eating as many veggies as possible sounds like a great idea, and your meal plan sounds terrific! I really need to start planning my meals out for the week…it would certainly ease my mind knowing dinner was all planned out in advance!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
