Happy Monday! Hope your weekend was extra fabulous. We spent loads of time with sweet friends, which was glorious!
If this is your first time visiting for Menu Monday, then welcome! This is where I share my weekly dinner menu, along with recipes. We are a vegetarian family, so if you are also meatless, or looking for ideas for a Meatless Monday, then you’re at the right place! For more information on how I menu plan, look at this.
This week’s menu is being borrowed from a previous week. Forgive me – I have no idea which one! I just grabbed one of my paper versions 🙂 And woohoo! Apparently only 2 Mexican genre dinners. When does that ever happen?

Ooh, I like this tomato pesto idea – between our garden and our CSA box, we’re on tomato overload! Looks like a great (and tasty) way to use up a bunch.
Definitely a great way to use them up!! Plus, if hold off on the red pepper flakes until you’re eating, it’s baby friendly. Our little one loves it!
Oh yummy! All sounds amazing. If I had the money I would hire you to just cook our meals. I have run out of imagination for cooking…
Cooking for others sounds so much better than cooking here!! Although I realized I’ve been using the same recipes over and over. I’m getting stuck in a rut!
Yuummm! Can you come cook for me too? What a great recipe for tomatoes! Nothing says summer like tomatoes.
I wouldn’t mind! 🙂 love a good tomato recipe too. And you can eat this pesto warm or cold. Bonus in the summer!
Just clicked the link for the Thai Basil Chicken ..it sounds delicious! even a tofu version! Adding this to my grocery list for this week :] I’m a huge Thai fan ..and the only one in my house lol!
It was really good when we made it the first time! If you like things to have a bit more sauce, I would recommend doubling or even tripling the sauce recipe as the recipe as is doesn’t give you much sauce to enjoy. Hope you like it!!
I love your menu mondays! It totally helps give me ideas for the week. I need some unconventional ideas, it feels like we eat a lot of mexican and italian. I really want to make some nutritious meals that don’t involve tortillas or pasta. Any ideas for things that have worked well. R hates salads and soups, so its slightly more of a challenge.
Thanks! Hmmm that is a challenge, because we eat a lot of Mexican here 🙂 but what about trying some Indian or Thai? I find that Thai is a little easier as far as prep/ingredients if making from scratch, and I’ve had good luck ignoring the fish/oyster sauce ingredients and subbing in extra soy sauce. My favorite food blog right now is cookieandkate.com for really yummy vegetarian recipes full of flavor.
So he also doesn’t like curry (says it’s too strong) which takes Indian out for the most part as well as thai! I’ll check out the blog! Thanks!
Man oh man!! We also love a good sandwich or panini, which are so versatile. You could also try your hand at doing pizzas!! They can be pretty fun to try out different ingredients!
True! Thanks for the ideas! We are trying to stay away from all the carbs too haha! It’s been challenging to find lots of recipes! I’ll eat basically anything, but Robert is really tricky!
Your Monday posts always make me want to cook, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.lol True story.

Oh just because the menus exist, doesn’t mean I’m excited to cook it! I may have tried to trick my husband in to going out to eat tonight… it was unsuccessful, but I tried!
