Menu Plan Monday - 1st June

Hello everyone! Winter is here (in the south anyway) and we're enjoying the cool weather... especially me, because I love soups and stews and casseroles - comfort food! But I'm trying to be good and still eat salad too :) ... I'm getting my lovely organic vege boxes each week from our local community garden scheme, so I will be planning my menu around what's in the box, plus what's in the freezer this week.

I've been doing lots of experimenting lately with allergy alternatives, which has been fun. I've made a tasty 'cream cheese' out of pine nuts & sunflower seeds, an eggless mayonnaise out of blanched almonds, and a yummy rice/almond milk - all in the Thermomix of course! I'll be posting these recipes and more soon hopefully!

For more menu planning ideas, see Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com. Have a great week!
