Menu Plan "Monday" July 16 2012

I meant to get this up yesterday. I've never really participated in the Menu Plan Monday world, but I've been meaning to post more of our recipes. We get a lot of questions about what we eat, we're not entirely vegetarian but we try to eat meat free most of the time. We know a lot of friends attempting to do the same and we've gotten some great recipes. If you have more to share I'd love to hear about them! For all of these recipes, this is main dish and we usually include a side vegetable or salad and some fruit, lately A LOT of watermelon!

Monday: Eat at friends, also included Broccoli Pasta Salad with dressing made with Stevia instead of sugar and using whole wheat pasta, olive oil mayonnaise and no bacon. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/broccoli-grape-pasta-salad-50400000115388/
