Mindful Menus - Week of 6/14/2010
Welcome to Mindful Menus - A Menu Planning Blog Roll to inspire health through real food!
It is my hope that this blog roll will inspire others to health through menu planning and to introduce you to the joys of menu planning. Yes, there are joys! If you are new to menu planning, I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Don't forget to keep checking back as menu plans are added.
Thanks again, friends, for your kind words, thoughts and prayers for my family and I as we grieve my dad's passing. I find myself thinking of him often and not without a smile, so that's a very good thing. His memory is truly a blessing to me.
My oldest brother and sister-in-love, two nieces and mom arrive early this week, so I am totally laaaaaaaa-zy on my menu plan. I have no idea who will be where, eating what or when, but I did come up with a general plan for the week - subject to change at a moment's notice.
Here is what we could be eating this week or we don't get to it, you may see it again next week:
Vegetarian - Falafel with tahini sauce... tabouli salad.
Chicken and Artichoke Risotto... roasted asparagus.
Vegetarian - Spinach Pesto Pasta - basil pesto, baby spinach, whole wheat fettuccine, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese and pine nuts and fruit salad.
Apricot Glazed Chicken... fruited quinoa and pine nuts.
POW (Pizza of the Week)
Until next time... Eat REAL, Eat WELL- Cheers!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Jenna. I pray those warm, happy memories will carry you through the days ahead.
It's HOT here so I'll be doing a lot of crockpot cooking this week. Whew!
