We’re hosting both of the night meals for Shavuot (and having the day meals at my parents’). Here’s the menu for both of the night meals. 

Whole wheat sandwich bread

Double pea soup

Portobello burgers and onion strings - I do not like mushrooms (unless I’m pregnant with Kovi). This is for everyone else. 

BBQ seitan - With a homemade BBQ sauce. SO GOOOOOOD!

Quinoa and black bean vegetable salad

Cucumber salad

Southwestern corn pudding

Fudgy wudgy blueberry brownies

Any recipes not linked to are either from Raising Vegetarian Children, Veganomicon or my brain. 

Started off the day right with some yoga. Ah…

Nursing Kovi right now, then going to make some tofu scramble (Asher lerves this stuff!) and vegan (a-der!) French toast for breakfast.

Hooked up the bike trailer yesterday, so after brekkie - yeah, I called it brekkie - we’re going for a bike ride. 

Started meal planning for every meal (other than snacks which are usually just fruit, nuts/seeds, veg and/or hummus). So, here’s the menu for this week. If there’s no link, either it’s not really a recipe or it’s from Veganomicon.
