Weekly Food Plan 8/9-8/15

Every week, I like to try at least one new recipe. This week, I will be testing out 3-  two vegan dishes- One Pot Cheesy Tomato Pasta and Red Lentil Chipotle Veggie Burgers, and for my husband, I will be making Chicken Lazone on Thursday. I will keep you posted on how they turn out. Last week's new recipe, a vegan potato salad(http://healthyblenderrecipes.com/recipes/creamy_vegan_potato_salad), was really good, BUT, only on day two. On day one, it was not bad, but not excellent. Surprisingly, on day two, once the flavors had time to meld, it was delicious. I did add a bit more Himalayan sea salt to it, though, on day two, but that is all it needed. We liked it enough that I will be making it again this week.

So here is what's on the menu for this week:

Sunday: Souper Sunday- Lentil, Sweet Potato, Kale Soup
Monday: One Pot Cheesy Tomato Pasta and garden okra http://www.cearaskitchen.com/one-pot-cheesy-tomato-pasta-vegan-healthy/
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday (will be adding the recipe for my bean tacos and vegan queso later in the week)
Wednesday: Leftover Night
Thursday: Chicken Lazone http://www.plainchicken.com/2013/05/chicken-lazone.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+blogspot/wJJTP+(Plain+Chicken)
