Menu Plan Monday is a meme which I use for dinner ideas and recipes. I look at my pantry and the sales circulars, then try to plan a variety of dinner options at the beginning of the week. It’s not set in stone and I often switch around the order of the meals, but it’s nice having all the ingredients on hand in advance to make whatever I choose.
Sunday – Red lentil curry Finally made this today in advance. I decided to go with the Indian cuisine theme and also made Roasted Indian Cauliflower. I really liked the cauliflower and am kind of neutral on the lentils. They are really nutritious and taste okay but probably not anything I would crave.
Monday – Asian Grilled Tempeh Triangles This is a recipe from the South Beach diet cookbook and is my second attempt at tempeh (a soy based meat alternative). I didn’t care for it the first time but want to be sure I’m giving it a fair chance. Plus I had already bought it 
Tuesday – Stir Fried Beef & Broccoli
Wednesday – Coconut Lime Tofu Soup We love Thai flavors so this sounds really good. This is from the Type A Housewife (a vegetarian food blog), so if you’re looking for more healthy meatless recipes with nice photos, you should really check it out.
Thursday – NY Strip (while not organic, the locally owned grocery store who gets their quality beef locally had a really good price on it this week) with faux mashed potatoes (using cauliflower)
Friday – Whole Wheat Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce. I have a 5k the following morning and Phase 1 of my low carb diet will be over, so it’s a great excuse to carb load
Weekend – leftovers

I could possibly get my husband to eat the Stir Fried Beef & Broccoli but not the other items
I LOVE stir fried beef and broccoli! Its like having chinese food without all the extra calories they pack in.
Thanks for the mention–I hope you like the soup! Your meals all sound so good, but mushroom cream sauce? Yes please!
