Menu Planning

Now that it is almost 2010 and New Year's Resolutions are being made I am getting in early and going to start getting back to my menu planning.

Week beginning 1/1/10


This week I am using two books:


Eat Me Now - Melanie Brown Waxman


Practically Macrobiotic Cookbook by Keith Michell


Both of these books are concerned with Macrobiotic principles which I try to follow but often without much success - not because of the food but because of my terrible lack of will power.


1/1/10

B: Bannock's with hummus and miso soup
L:Falafel in a pita with tahini, tomato, mint and carrot
D: Lamb cutlets (for the Beau), mash, broccolini

2/1/10

B: Fried mushrooms on bread and Bancha tea
L: Lentil Patty with Satay sauce and a miso soup
D: Home made Pesto with wholemeal pasta and a garden salad and steak for friends that are coming over.
