Meal Plan July 25-31, 2011

Here we are halfway through the week and the meal plan is finally getting up.  It’s been a week of not cooking much, lots of raw food and salads.  Just feeling a bit hot to cook.

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Monday
Dinner: Quinoa Salad from the Canadian Living Blog (I used the Middle Eastern dressing) and Broccoli Slaw from Chatelaine I liked this recipe alot, it may be a nice use for the stems of broccoli that no one eats at my place, if only I was that organized!

Tuesday
Dinner:  Potato Salad and leftover quinoa salad.  This potato salad was really good, I halved the dressing and still thought it was a bit too much, I weighed the potatoes before peeling and they were close to the amount called for in the recipes, next time I would do at least 2.5lbs of potatoes for half the amount of dressing)

Wednesday

Meal Plan June 27-July 3, 2011

By Dilek

I was away for one night last week, and that’s all it took to go crazy at the magazine counter at Shopper’s. I have a serious love of magazines, and I picked up the latest copy of the FoodNetwork’s magazine. I really like it, I know it can all be found on line, but the way it’s presented is so much fun to browse.  So I have picked most of the meals this week from the July/Aug issue!

This is also the last week of school, Canada Day and my husband’s birthday, so we have much to celebrate!  Also, I am done with school time lunches, I can’t take anymore of them, we are having picnics in the park everyday this week except for the last day of school pizza/pool party!


looks pretty good eh?

Monday
Dinner: Middle Eastern Pizza

Tuesday
Dinner:  Walnut, Kale, Sweet Potato Turkey Burgers (Chatelaine July’11)  (I didn’t get to this recipe last week, and I really want to try it)

Wednesday
Dinner:  Grilled Pierogies

Tuesday
Lunch:  raw beet salad with ginger  ,pasta with butter and cheese
