Ah, Mondays. I’m scrambling around to try to get things together, and wish I’d done a menu plan before I hit Wegmans yesterday!
Our fabulous hostess is Wendy of Celiacs in the House. Her pictures of the Farmer’s Market never fail to delight, so go check out her site! Her theme is books, and I must say, I’m a little stuck on that one. The books I’m (re) reading right now are Tara Brach’s Radical Acceptance, Michael Pollen’s Omnivore’s Dilemma and Tomorrow’s Table–Organic Farming, Genetics and the Future of Food.. Uh…and I also just re-read “the hungry little caterpillar” by Eric Carle. Hmmm…most about food…and I still am not quite sure how to use them in a meal plan.
Let’s see: we’ll have quinoa for the Omnivore’s Dilemma, because I’m always trying to get us to eat more meatless meals to be more mindful of the environment. The vegan Tropical Lime Pie (perfect in my brain, totally untested and who knows how that’ll go) counts for the Hungry Little Caterpillar, because I’m betting I’m going to eat too much and get a tummy ache. And, uh…okay, I got nothin’ here for the rest.
Monday:
Chicken and broccoli in a Malaysian Curry Sauce (from Spice and Herb Bible)
Tues:
Quinoa Italiana
Weds:
Coconut Curry Turkey with Roasted Garlic Cauliflower
Thursday:

Friday:
out to dinner and a concert for my birthday.
Sweet treat:
Tropical Lime Pie (we’ll see how that goes…)
In my garden:
garlic scapes
parsley
basil
Stumble It!
That’s such a wonderful book that we never outgrow– from the beautiful collage art of Eric Carle to the tummy aches. 🙂 I will be looking for the results of that pie.

I love “Radical Acceptance.” I actually only read the first few chapters and was like, “Okay, that changed my life, excellent!” and never felt the need to finish it. Someday I will, but for now I’m so grateful for how much I got out of just the first part!
Your menu sounds delicious as always and I want to come over and eat pie until my tummy aches, too!
