Getting Ready for Week One

I spent the afternoon putting together my weekly menu and shopping list. We already eat pretty healthy - whole grain pastas and breads, beans, veggie "meats," etc. Nevertheless, the shopping list was a beast, because of having been gone for nearly two weeks for the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

Chris won't be eating strictly vegan, so I have to plan dinners that can have lean meats easily added to them. Here's the dinner menu for week one:

Monday: whole wheat penne with vegetarian meatballs (Nate's Zesty Italian);mixed baby greens salad with garlic vinaigrette and pecans

Tuesday: vegetable burritos (sweet potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, and black beans); avocado, tomato, and cucumber salad

Wednesday: baked falafel, homemade hummus, and pita; Greek salad

Thursday: (Chris' actual birthday) spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce; pineapple-pecan quinoa stirfry; sesame baby bok choy

Friday: Chris' birthday celebration - maybe Thai?

Saturday: red lentil and cauliflower curry; basmati rice; garlic naan

Sunday: vegetarian chili; cornbread

Finished up at the store, and managed to get everything I need at my local Kroger. Take a peek at my freshly-stocked, vegan-friendly fridge and pantry!
