Menu Monday ~ September 16, 2019

September 16, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Good morning and welcome to a new week! I didn’t make it to the grocery store Friday and then we were out of town for the weekend. I decided to create this week’s menu from what I have on hand and just wait until Friday to go to the store.

    That’s the good thing with having a bit of a store cupboard stash: helps at times like that when your shopping day is delayed. Anyawa, nice menu.

    I’m doing a “cook one day, eat leftovers the next” thing. But, hey, at least I have a menu! So, here’s what it looks like…

    Monday and Tuesday: battered baked tofu, baked potato, and salad.
    Wednesday and Thursday: butternut squash risotto.
    Friday and Saturday: vegetable soup with bread.
    Sunday: roasted root vegetables, and green beans.

    *Note: from now on, assume that any meals I mention where you’d normally use eggs or dairy items has been veganized. That way I don’t have to keep pointing it out. The batter for the tofu, for example, is flour and neutritional yeast flakes with just enough water added to turn it in to a batter-like consistancy.

      Has it been difficult to transition to vegan? For me, giving up cheese would be the hardest part.

    Ha! Giving up cheese was why it took me so long. 😉

    It’s been easier than I thought it would be. It would have been more difficult if I hadn’t found a vegan cheese alternative I actually really like, I think. But I’m not missing the dairy items as much as I thought I would. Honestly, the hardest part so far has been the less than supportive comments a couple of people have made when I told them.

      I’m not sure why other people’s food choices are anyone’s business.

    Me either. But apparently some people think they are. I’ve had people jump down my throat, assuming I’m going to try and force them to become vegan too, and making it perfectly clear they weren’t about to even become vegetarian, let alone vegan. Never mind the fact I never tried forcing them to become vegetarian during the roughly 12 years since I totally became vegetarian, so I’m not sure why they’d think I’d do so as a vegan. Then there was the person who I apparently inconvenienced by making this decision. I’m still not sure how, since the person in question isn’t even someone I see in person regularly, so they have nothing to do with my food like 99% of the time anyhow.

      People can be weird. I think part of it is that on some level a lot of people are conflicted about their own diet so they become defensive when confronted by different choices.

    That does make sense.
