Menu Plan Monday: April 8-14

Recap

Last week I had a business trip and then weekend celebrations so not a lot of cooking. Here’s how the week went.

Monday: Frozen Dinners

I had Amy’s Sweet  & Sour Asian Noodle frozen entree.  It was okay, but a pretty small portion.

Tuesday: Sandwiches

I got an email for a free birthday burrito from Rubio’s.  I had the Health Mex Mahi Mahi burrito.  It was very good!

Wednesday: Business Trip

My co-worker is a long time vegan so we went out for Indian food.  It was the first time I’ve been in an Indian restaurant in a long time.  This is Baingan Bharta with Spinach Paratha.  If you’re in St. Louis, I highly recommend Rasoi!

Thursday: Business Trip

Italian restaurants are a good go-to for Vegetarian/Vegan fare and I had some delicious food at Bar Italia in St. Louis.  This is a picture of the caponata appetizer with eggplant, pine nuts, and tomatoes.  It was delicious!

Friday: Business Trip

Unfortunately, dinner was at the airport while waiting to board the flight headed back home.  We ate at Chili’s Too and I had a black bean burger with a side salad.

Saturday: Birthday dinner out

We ate at Vintana, the restaurant over the car dealership.  I had sauteed Mahi Mahi served over beans, artichoke hearts and fingerling potatoes.  I thought those red chunks were sun-dried tomatoes.  Turned out it was sausage which I did not eat.

Sunday: Dinner at relatives

We had a family dinner at my husband’s brother’s home.  There were 13 of us and fortunately many vegetarian menu items.  The main course was lamb which I did not eat.  I filled up on fresh vegetables with hummus, corn, peas, and roasted root vegetables.  She also had an excellent vegan dessert with chocolate  in it!

Meal Plan

I’m traveling again later this week but it’s a personal trip to visit family in Kansas.  I do plan to get some cooking in using my new Cookbook, The I Love Trader Joe’s Vegetarian Cookbook (affiliate link).

Tuesday: Tempeh Meatloaf with fried potatoes and asparagus

Wednesday: Mexi-Bake Casserole, green salad

Thursday: Leftovers
