Meal Plans

Oh no, where are the fun meal suggestions for the week? I love that part of the website, and now it's gone! Any chance this feature will be returning to the new website?

POSTED: Mon, 07/13/2009 - 11:14pm Meal Plans à la Frenchy I am looking forward to at least trying some of your recipes! I am on post-holiday Budwig détox at the moment, interrupted by a yoghurt shortage, dinner out, a spider bite, my piece of orange roughy being misappropriated... I will really be able to enjoy the flavors when I get through this. Lorraine

POSTED: Thu, 07/09/2009 - 6:04pm Merci Beaucoup Deborah, those lunch menus look amazing! Can't wait to try! Should people comment on this thread to avoid dissecting the menu thread? Thanks again! Lorraine

frenchy

POSTED: Thu, 07/09/2009 - 6:25pm Yes please! I was hoping we could do that so as not to disrupt the flow of the menu plan. I will do a separate thread for the dinner. I am so glad someone has seen them! This is really quite thrilling for me.

POSTED: Fri, 07/10/2009 - 5:30am Thank you Merci Jean. I would also like you to know that you can vary the bread. If you like wraps by all means use wraps. They also work well in Romaine leaves rolled or folded. More to come later today and a few dinner ideas.

POSTED: Fri, 07/10/2009 - 7:20pm Bon soir everyone Good evening everyone. First let me apologize for missing an ingresient in the spaghetti sauce and that is the basil. You may use fresh at the end of the cooking process prior to serving or dried at the beginning of the cooking process. I don't know what I was thinking in forgetting this crucial ingredient. And the chicken parmesean that I had for dinner tonight was vegetarian...another Quorn product. I hope you can get these where you are.

POSTED: Mon, 06/01/2009 - 9:02pm Clarification On the old website, there was a recommended weekly meal plan for each day- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was great because you could either eat exactly what was planned for the day, or tweek it to your liking. Very convenient feature!

POSTED: Sat, 05/29/2010 - 11:54pm Miss the Menus, too! I too, miss the weekly meal plans...they were very helpful...and sometimes just what I needed to "inspire" me to eat well. Please bring them back!!!

frenchy

POSTED: Sun, 05/30/2010 - 8:06am I am so sorry for not being able to keep up with regular menus. While working as a teacher, during the school year it is hard for me to get them mapped out. Summer is fast approaching (3 and 1/2 days left) I promise I will have more menus for everyone. Please forgive the delay. I would like to have it set up where breakfast lunch and dinner are all there for each day. These will be "working people" friendly. I just look at some menu plans and shudder. They seem to be made for people who have no job and a personal chef. Sunday will be the exception as I love Sunday dinner ala family. I will post a new thread under the Recipes section titled Menu.

Marilyn

POSTED: Sun, 05/30/2010 - 3:53pm Wonderful So glad you will be back on the menu track this summer. I don't know how you manage to fit everything in with your busy life. How will you fit in studying next year? Enjoy your summer break and RELAX!!

POSTED: Tue, 06/02/2009 - 4:46pm I wonder... I wonder if we could come up with something similar under the recipe section.

Simona

POSTED: Wed, 06/03/2009 - 6:12am Sounds like a great Idea..... people could post their meal plans!

It will have meal plans and I'll have to dig for the recipe you are looking for. The thread will be placed in the "Recipes" column. Have a wonderful Sunday. What are your plans for today? I have to take some clothes back to a shop and get different sizes. I profane of dressing rooms. Much prefer to try on at home with appropriate shoes, shirts...I have a ton of tofu recipes.
