When I made last week’s menu plan I forgot that my husband was going to be on travel most of the week. I also quite conveniently forgot that I was celebrating a birthday. So meals were shifted around and some were pushed back into this week, like Southwest Steak Salad with Honey Lime Dressing.
This week I am experimenting with creating “noodles” and “rice” out of different types of vegetables. Have you used vegetable substitutes for rice and pasta?
Monday – Swiss Chard and Garbanzo Bean Soup, Salad, and for dessert leftover Garden Party Cupcakes.
Tuesday – Use leftover steak to make Southwest Steak Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Wednesday – Stir Fry Served on Spicy Squash Noodles
Thursday – Herbed Chicken on Vegetable Confetti
Friday – Visiting friends
Saturday – Pan Fried Garlic Sole, Herb Roasted New Potatoes, and Italian Green Beans
Sunday – Use leftover sole in fish tacos, Spanish Cauliflower “Rice”, and Black Beans

My husband is out of town this week. But, I think I want to try that salad next week. He'd love it- and so would I. Not too sure about the kids, though… but that won't stop me.

I can't decide which night I want to pop in for dinner! 😉

I'm looking forward to reading about your experiments with veggie "carbs."
I have done the cauliflower rice thing and I like it but it's one of those things where I thought "No one is fooled by this, just call it what it is!" Same with spaghetti squash, but I do love it =)
How do you do your fish tacos? I looove fish tacos but I'm never sure if I'm doing it "right" haha!

Belated happy birthday wishes! It seems as though there have been an inordinate number of birthdays in the past two weeks!
The Southwest Steak Salad still sounds good, and I'm looking forward to seeing your cupcake photos!
