Day 207: Vegan Menu Week of October 11 - October 17

I was so looking forward to making the E2 lasagna and tasting it.  It turned out good, but not as outstanding as everyone claimed it would be.  In fact, I think next time I will skip the sweet potato layer and just mix all the veggies with the silken tofu and make two layers of that veggie mix.  Also, it was a little dry.  I am going to have extra sauce on the side next time.  Other than that, it was good!  :)

Here's what I'm thinking for this week:

  • Monday - Spicy Lentil Soup:  We ended up not making it last week because the lasagna was so huge, we ate it two days in a row.
  • Tuesday - Asian Salad and Spicy Potstickers: I love this!  We have it once a week!
  • Wednesday - Thai Peanut Noodles
  • Thursday - No Cheese Pizza - Have a lot of the ingredients because I didn't get a chance to make this either. The vegan menudo from last week lasted two days.
  • Friday - Tostadas: Flat tortilla chips, covered with refried beans, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, onions, and cilantro.  Yum. 
  • Saturday -  Chickpea Stew and Brown Rice: Found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine's Inspired Vegetarian section.  Looks delicious!
  • Sunday - Tomato Soup, Salad, and Foccacia bread: Found a new book at TJMaxx called Soup and it has a ton of vegan soup recipes.  I love making soup on Sundays, especially now that the weather is so nice!
Oh, I forgot to mention that last week's grocery bill was $110!  I'm getting close to my $100 per week bill again.  :)  I've already spent $43 this week.  I have $57 left to complete this menu.  Wish me luck!

TTYL.
