Weekly Menu - week of February 17th

Here's my menu plan for the coming week.  I'm still working on keeping us vegan at home, although we did slip up a few times this past week.  Still, though, we've cut back drastically on our dairy intake at home, so I'm proud of us!

This week I'm going to start taste-testing various vegan products like soy cheese, rice milk, and so forth, as well as meat replacements like seitan and tempeh.  I've had rice milk and soy milk before, but haven't ever used it in baking, so we'll see how that works out this week.  

SATURDAY
breakfast - cinnamon toast
lunch - we went to an NCAA basketball game, and got 4 free hot dogs and sodas with our family pack of 4 tickets.  Nice!  
dinner - Pasta with Rustic Tomato, Basil & Kalamata Olive Sauce, and french bread

SUNDAY
breakfast - French Puffs
lunch - taking the kids out to eat before the ladies' basketball game
dinner - leftovers

TUESDAY
