Meal Plan: Vegetarian Delight!!!

This week I decided to take a walk back down my vegetarian past. My husband and I were vegetarian when first married. I gradually added meat in as cooking became more of a passion for me and I wanted to try new things. This week I am taking our meals back to our roots. I wanted to create an inspiring all vegetarian menu for any of you who like to avoid meat. If I get enough interest from this post in the form of pins and comments then I will venture into some other specialty diet menus once a month. Diets like raw, paleo and grain-free come to mind. Give me feedback and let me know if you are interested in any of those diets. I do not have a “favorite meal” of last week to share. I can barely remember last week, it was crazy, CRAZY busy for me! I am hoping that you enjoy this weeks menu plan! So far Sunday’s meal was a HIT and SUPER-DUPER tasty!!! YUM! Money spent on this meal plan at the grocery store for all organic was $165. Please remember that any orange lettering are links to sources! Enjoy!

Sunday

• Breakfast – Rolled Oats
• Lunch – PB & J’s
• Dinner – Fruit Crumble (I used this recipe but did not have rhubarb so I used 2 lbs of tart apples, 1/2 – 1 cup blueberries, and 1 package of strawberries), coconut milk whip cream, Morning Star Farms Sausages and scrambled eggs.

Monday

• Breakfast –  Bob’s Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal
• Lunch – Smoothies (I know I am “owing” you all some smoothie recipes, stay tuned it’s coming!!!)
• Dinner – Veggie Ramen: This blog post is where I got my inspiration.

Tuesday

• Breakfast – Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Muffins! YUM! I used Pamela’s Muffin recipe adding bananas, blueberries and I add 1 tsp xanthan gum to every cup of flour I use. I made a quadruple batch and ended up with 18 good sized muffins.
