Last week’s menu was a total bust. After Tuesday, our meals turned into whatever was convenient – which usually means eggs & toast or quesadillas. Well, today begins another week — a new chance to eat healthy.

Monday: lemon garlic pasta I have a feeling the family is going to love this…
Tuesday: salad — greens, wild salmon, avocado, goat cheese…
Wednesday: gazpacho I’ve been hearing so many good things about this…
Thursday: mexican style salmon cakes with garlic-herb creme fraiche
Friday: ??? leftovers?

I’m linking this menu with Menu Planning Monday and Chive Talkin’.

Holy guacamole, that picture looks yummy! I don’t like avocados, but I’m soo tempted to buy some just to try that.

Hope you enjoy the gazpacho as much as we do. I look forward to all the chopping and prep time; it calms me : )

Delicious!! I love vegetarian meals. I’m not a vegetarian persay, but I enjoy incorporating many vegetarian meals into our diet for variety, health reasons, and financial reasons! I look forward to following your menu plans. :)

Hey! I am coming for dinner Thursday! Sounds delish! And anything with garlic and lemon is OK with us! :-D Hope you enjoy the gazpacho - it is chunkier than the usual and I like it that way. Thanks for joining in the Chivetalkin Menu Plan Blog Roll. I LOVE having you - very inspiring!
