Menu Plan Monday #28: 20 Elul, 5770

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out!

We are a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.

Newcomers, you can read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are and what we eat, or just visit my super-duper-list-tastic itemization of Everything We Eat.

Last week was a total whirlwind, with us away in NYC for most of the week.  but I want to thank Ted for his update to the menu plan to prove that he and the nosy puppies can survive in my absence!

Note:  this menu plan was revised on Wednesday, Sept 1/10 to reflect a switch in this week’s “Vegan Day!”

Sunday (last night):  Take-out Falafel w/sisters at Mommy’s house

Monday:  Steaks on BBQ – must buy gas canisters – argh!  Instant mashpo & salad w/Mango-Poppy Dressing (per Elisheva’s request)

Tuesday (Ted’s off day, the NEW Vegan Vuesday):  Stir-fry w/tofu cubes (per Elisheva’s request – can you guess who’s sitting behind me as I type this?) – I have updated this post to indicate that this WAS our vegan meal for the week.  And mighty delicious it was, too.  I froze the (firm) tofu for a few hours to give it a heartier texture, and also stir-fried it before the veggies, then took it out.  Usually, I add tofu at the end and it sometimes crumbles.  Frying it beforehand means it holds together and has a nice outside texture when I add it back in near the end of cooking.  Mmm…

Wednesday (Ted’s late day):  Chicken baked on top of rice; stir-fried snap peas and yellow pepper.

Thursday (NOT Vegan Vursday):  Pasta w/fresh-tomato rosé sauce, corn on the cob (yes, I do know that corn is a starch and pasta is a starch!!!)

Friday:  Shabbos food!!!

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
