Menu Plan Monday - May 25th

Hi everyone... haven't gotten around to a menu plan for a couple of weeks, been so busy! (Which of course is the time when you really should be planning!) Tonight I'm determined to spend some time organizing my week, so menu planning first! We are going completely dairy free for six months, so no butter or cheese. (Trying to get rid of allergies, and dairy seems to affect us the most.) Some recipes have variations in them, some are written in menu plan.

For more menu plans, and links to lots of recipes, go to Menu Plan Monday on orgjunkie.com!

Here's the plan... if there's a recipe you want and you can't find, let me know and I'll post it!

Monday: (lunch) Homemade spelt tortillas with homemade mayonnaise & tuna / roast lamb & sauce; (dinner) Potato wedges, carrot sticks & pan-fried fish fingers (homemade, coated in spelt flour).

Tuesday: (lunch) Vege soup (Thermomix!) with spelt bread; (dinner) Garlic-beef & vege stir fry with mung bean noodles.
