Menu Plan Monday!

Happy Monday, friends! I'm back to work after a lovely 2 weeks vacation! How was your weekend? We are enjoying some gorgeous weather here in Boston, so we look advantage and spent as much time outside as possible. Love!

I want to talk with you about our menu this week. You might have noticed that we're posting quite a few vegetarian meals...well it's because we're going without meat for the month of July. I'm actually trying to follow the Dr. McDougall plan of eating as much as possible- meat free, dairy free and oil free. Now, I'm still using oil to cook, but I'm trying to more aware of how much I use. I switched out half and half for unsweetened almond milk. I'm still going to have a little bit of cheese, but not ever day. So far, so good- but what in the heck are we eating???

Breakfasts: 

• Fruit smoothies with whey powder
• Steel cut oats sweetened with a little bit of pure maple

Lunches:

• Baked sweet potato with black beans and fresh pico de gallo (mmmm)
• Dr. McDougalls soups (the tortilla is my favorite!)- they're cheap, too. 
• Low-carb wrap (I like Cedar's brand) with hummus and tons of veggies

Dinners:

Monday- Black bean tacos with fresh pico de gallo 

Tuesday- Trader Joe's veggie burgers, quinoa garden salad

Wednesday- Vegetarian stuffed peppers

Thursday- Whole wheat pasta, spinach, zucchini, marinara sauce

Friday- Whole wheat quesadillas- mashed sweet potato, black bean, pico de gallo

Saturday- leftovers

Sunday- Grilled sandwiches (roasted red peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, onion, some pepper jack cheese on sprouted grain bread)
