Here's our first full week of vegetarian meals! It's been four days so far, and we're doing okay. Of course, I would love a cheeseburger, but I think I'll survive.
Monday: Argentinian Pumpkin Soup, bread
We made this last night, and I'll post the recipe later today. We were both a little suspicious of the soup, but had a couple of pumpkins that needed to be used so we thought we'd give it a try. It was surprisingly delicious, and we're both excited about the lunch leftovers today.
Tuesday: Quick Curried Chick Peas, Basmati Rice, Naan, steamed green peas
We didn't get to this late last week (we had pizza instead), so it's making the meal list again this week. I have been reading good things about it online, so I can't wait to try it.
Wednesday: Cheese Quiche, steamed broccoli, grape tomato salad
I love a good quiche. I usually put the broccoli in the quiche, but I don't think Gabbie will eat it that way. She eats cheesy eggs, and she eats steamed broccoli, but she won't eat things mixed together. The tomato salad is one of our favorites, and goes great on the side with quiche.
Thursday: Tortellini with sauteed mushrooms and zuchini and tomato sauce, salad, garlic bread
A quick, easy, mid-week meal. We sautee the veggies, boil the tortellini, and heat up a jar of spaghetti sauce. Simple and delicious, it's a complete comfort food.
Friday: Cheesy vegetable pancakes, rice with peas
I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants on this one, combining a few recipes to try to get what I imagine to happen in my pan. We'll see how it goes.
Saturday: Braised lentils, Spanish style, Olive Bread
Another meal I can't wait to try. Gabbie and I love lentils, and this recipe sounds fantastic. I don't particularly like olives, but I like them on pizza and I think if I halve the amount of olives in the recipe I will love it.
Sunday: Leftovers or veggie quesadillas
I'm sure we'll have plenty of leftovers and I'll be tired of cooking by Sunday, so leftovers will probably happen. One night off of cooking per week is usually needed.
I think it's so neat that you're doing this! I may have mentioned this before, but I don't think I could get Joe to go along with something like this in a million years. That man loves his meat. (That sounds wrong, but you know what I mean.)
