Enough disclosures! Here is the run-down of this week's suppers:
Friday: vegan mac & cheese-like sauce (recipe here) with fresh steamed asparagus from our friend's garden. And a tablecloth!
Saturday: Avocado sandwich and ...
... healthier strawberry shortcake. I might just be posting this recipe soon as our strawberries are ripe!
Sunday: Spaghetti with tomato sauce and peas.
Monday (Memorial Day): Grilled veggie sandwich (I use my pannini grill to cook the veggies with no oil and just a touch of salt), potato salad and green salad with toppings.

Wednesday: Do you ever have one of those days that you need to use up what's in the fridge so you make up a meal? Polenta (corn meal) with beans and veggieburger sauteed with onions and peppers, salsa, ranch dressing and lettuce salad.
Thursday: Sam's Club take-and-bake cheese pizza with a huge salad to make up for it!
So there you have it! What did you feed your family this week? Did you try any new recipes? Would you like any of mine? Let me know!

You did great! I love that you took the time to do this. Your first photo is exactly what I fed our litte SweetCheeks after soccer tonight...oh..and she got a cookie to follow up! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYum! You are such a creative cook, and the fact that you make so many things from scratch is inspiring. Those boys' tummies are always full of good food, that's for sure :-)

Wow Ellie, I'm impressed with your meals. I very much wish I could do a weeks worth of vegetarian meals and not have my husband complain. I'm usually able to sneak in one per week if I sandwich it between two of his favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteThe avocado sandwich looks quite tasty. I may have to try it this week. Do you toast the bread?
Thanks for your kind comments, Ashli--and for following! Sorry about your husband not being on board with being vegetarian. My husband and I were both raised that way. For the avocado sandwich I do toast the bread--I just like the texture better. Then just your favorite mayo and a sprinkle of salt. Divine!
ReplyDeletewow! i loved seeing your dinners!!! I hope you post more!!! :) I am a picky semi-vegetarian (dairy ok, never ever eat meat. it chicken once in a blue moon. occasionally can eat fish but NON-fishy fish....OIts very....lots of pickiness w/ text are you allure of protein foods) and I sort of felt "bad' b/c i dont make the traditional middle class meals like I grew up w/ (pork chops, meatloaf, tuna noodle casserole, hamburgers, steak, ham...etc w/ a perfect starch and veg serving). i feel so "freed' that other moms dont either! your meals look great!!! are you all 100% vegan? are you comfortable explaining why??
