This week we are eating from the freezer. I like to make up meat packages for the freezer to have on hand so this week I will be making a few of them.
The lentil and black bean soup looks really good. We also make whole wheat blender pancakes and waffles. My favorite grain combination is oat and rice.
Here’s our menu

I’m making lentil soup this week too, but I may add black beans, since I made a huge batch yesterday. Thanks for the idea!!!
Here’s our menu for the week!

Getting back into meal planning this week with some family favorites….http://www.vanessasvalues.blogspot.com/2013/03/meal-plan-monday-march-25.html
Everything looks good. Here is my menu for this week:

Crystal, your Lentil & Black Bean Soup looks like it has cabbage. Is that the only addition you made to that recipe, and did you blend yours? Also, I’m not seeing your black beans. Did you include them? I think we’ll try that one since it’s definitely on he economical side.
Yes, I snuck in some cabbage since I had some to use up. I had pre-cooked black beans, so I dumped those in when it was almost done cooking… and then I used a potato masher to mash it all up. We liked it, by the way, but it does make a BIG pot!
The cabbage in that soup caught my eyes, since I still have some cabbage I got at a really good price and am always looking for delicious ways to use it up. Then when I clicked on the link to the recipe I didn’t see cabbage listed, so I was grateful for the comments! 🙂
Thank you, also, for the link to the quinoa cookies! I have been trying more recipes with quinoa lately and those look great!

Looks like your are going veggie this week! Yummy!
Here is my menu. I love crock pots. One meal is 2 dinners for us! Plus so easy. We are making bread this week to as an activity. http://missy-lifeofaworkingmom.blogspot.com/2013/03/meal-plan-for-03252013-03312013.html?m=1
I have been searching Pinterest for recipes. I have found some that are really easy and my family loves them. In fact my pickiest child asked me to make one thing twice in a week!
I like the sound of your menu! 😀 I’m going to have to look at all your meatless recipes! 😀
We’re having craving foods, hehee!
Texas caviar, Mediterranean Chickpeas salad and Mexican Lime Chicken Soup:

That soup sounds great, and seasonal since it won’t stop snowing!
Here’s my menu. I still have freezer meals from a month ago to finish up:

I hardly ever get my bread machine out (like I have to read the instructions every time I do ‘hardly ever’) but am feeling a little coerced to do so seeing the picture of those pull apart rolls!
Yes, yes, yes… pull that bread machine out. I promise it will be worth it! 🙂
They are very good we tried them last week.
Ooooh I can’t wait to hear how the Quinoa Cookies turn out! I love quinoa and love cookies, so I’m totally ready to try these! 🙂
Here is our menu plan for the week (gluten and dairy free):
http://www.momsplans.com/2013/03/menu-plan-for-march-24-2013/
I tried quinoa chili, and the kids didn’t like it. I’ll be curious to see how your quinoa cookies turn out. Maybe I can use the quinoa that way.
Our menu is a lot of the usual, with a couple new recipes. My goal for next month is to try at least one new supper recipe each week. I need to get us out of this rut.
