Menus on Mondays – 10/8/12

I’m so thrilled that my menus are becoming a hit with y’all.  This week is still heavy on the veggies and still on the lighter side, but there’s a little dairy and meat too.  I just can’t be vegan forever.  (I had even had a few fails last week.  Oh well.)

Our pantry is looking kind of bare, so we’re doing our grocery shopping today.  Which means, I had to put my meals together early, and so I thought I’d share my Menus on Mondays with you on Sunday.  If you prefer this too, let me know and I’ll share this post with y’all regularly on Sundays instead.  I’ll have to come up with a different name, I ‘spose, but such is the life of a blogger. 🙂
