I plan out my menu for the week and post it on the frig for all to see. This allows grocery shopping to be much more streamlined. I will add the recipes as I make the dishes. I try to add new dishes each week and only serve 1 or 2 repeats a week. Doing this has allowed all of us to try new types of dishes (Indian food is a great example). I get a lot of recipes from allrecipes.com and then modify. Until I post my modified version I’ll link to the original source. I’m very slowly learning how to modify in order to make the recipes low-fat and vegan. There are a lot of potato recipes – they were on sale this week!
Saturday: Cheeseless Pizza (I’m winging this one but using whole wheat pizza dough recipe but I use all whole wheat flour) & low fat vegan pizza sauce. UPDATE: I tried this with 1/2 broccoli and 1/2 peppers / onions. The broccoli side came out awful – it was dry and almost burnt. The cooking time for the broccoli and the rest of the pizza didn’t jive (especially without the cheese to add fat & moisture). My suggestion would be to add the broccoli after about 20 mins of baking the pie (a total time of 35 minutes). The onion/pepper side turned out great.
Sunday: Creamy Veggie Potato Stew
Monday: Spanish Rice Enchiladas (Enchilada sauce)
Tuesday: Lentil Potato Burgers on whole wheat rolls (use all whole wheat flour) and baked french fries (I’ll definately modify this one to reduce fat – not sure how yet. The recipe as-is INCREDIBLE!!)
Wednesday: Veggie Fried Rice
Thursday: Israeli Moroccan Couscous
Friday: Green Potato Soup with Onion Herb Bread
