You too can participate in Menu Plan Monday, just go over to I’m an Organizing Junkie and add your menu to Mr. Linky.

Last week was a good week for dinner Spaghetti and Bean Balls as well as Smokey red pepper ‘n’ beans gumbo from Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. Of course, I didn’t cook over the weekend. Had Chinese and Mexican instead. And tonight, well, I had a veggie corn dog.

I think I did pretty good though. And I still have some leftover gumbo for lunch tomorrow! I keep planning 6 or 7 meals, knowing that I will miss a few or reorganize my week. It’s been a huge help having a plan and we’ve been eating much better because of it.
