Menu Plan Monday (vegetarian/vegan/macrobiotic)
This week we’re going to try eating out a bit more – Bobby has recognized that I’m in a rut and he’s making me face my fears… He’s pretty awesome like that. Plus I want to practice eating macrobiotically (somewhat) in restaurants.
Menu for the Week of March 08 – March 14
Sunday
dinner – at Sprout Cafe in Palo Alto (salads, soups, sandwiches)
dessert – at Fraiche in Palo Alto (soy frozen yogurt for me)
Monday
dinner – on my own (Bobby has band); veggie stirfry with kabocha fries
dessert – fresh fruit salad
Tuesday
dinner – Sushi night (not sure which restaurant yet)
dessert – frozen grapes
Wednesday
dinner – Blue Mango in Santa Clara
dessert – VitaTop/Muffin with peanut butter
Thursday
dinner – Cheesecake Factory (I always get the chopped salad & I love their brown bread)
dessert – minneola oranges
Friday
dinner – nectarine & tofu stirfry
dessert – apples and peanut butter
Saturday
dinner – maybe out with Bobby’s cousins? we haven’t seen them in a few months…
dessert – fruit! (major theme this week in dessert-land)
Breakfasts – oats, oat bran, wheat bran, bananas, peanut butter, miso soup, nectarines, oranges, kashi waffles
Lunches – leftovers, kabocha, pitas with peanut butter, pitas with avocado blends (like the chocolate thing I put on my oats), lots of spinach-ey things (I bought a 2 pound bag that I need to use up)
MPM is usually hosted by Organizing Junkie, but this week it’s being guest-hosted at $5 Dinners. Check out more great menus there!

Also…I may be going to cheesecake factory this week as well so I’ll keep you posted! It’s between that and California Pizza Kitchen which I also love for this one amazing salad they have…

16 March, 2009 at 2:01 pm (6 years ago)Looks like a great plan! I need to get to Fraiche (I’m in SF so it’s a bit of a trek just for frozen yogurt) because there’s nowhere in City to get soy frozen yogurt and I am seriously craving some!
