I have more holiday spirit than you can shake a candy cane at, but one of the tiny frustrations about the season is not always being in control of what we’re eating. The Fish Family will be spending a few days with family at the end of the week, and that means not planning the meals, at least not in their entirety. I will be contributing to the meals, though, and hopefully will be able to get some pictures if it’s not to dark!
In other news, I’m excited to tell you I’ll be doing some recipe testing for Urban Vegan who has a new cookbook in the works. The next few days will feature some of her recipes, and they sound delicious.
Here’s what I’ve got planned for the next few days :
Monday : Lemon Poppyseed Muffins (special holiday breakfast), Tuscan Bean Dip with veggies and green salad (lunch), Chickpeas with tomato, eggplant & spinach (dinner). All three of these are tester recipes for Urban Vegan.
Tuesday : Polenta-Spinach Cutlets with Basil Aioli served with green beans (lunch), Old Bay Cakes served with mashed potatoes and green salad (also test recipes).
Wednesday : I’m not sure if we’ll be here or not yet, so today will probably be about eating left-overs to empty the fridge!
My muffins lean to the left, just like me!
Because I’m posting this after breakfast, I can share a photo of these delicious muffins from Urban Vegan forthcoming book. The sun doesn’t rise until after 8:30am now, so the light isn’t wonderful, but the muffins were. I knew I needed to snap a picture of one before they disappeared! Beautiful crumb, bright, lemony taste, perfect for a leisurely holiday breakfast.
Not sure what to make for dinner? Take a peek at the sample menus on the Meal Plan Mondays page for some inspiration.
