Friday: veggie burgers, hashbrowns & salad

Saturday lunch: cold sandwiches & chips

Saturday dinner: vegan seitan sausages, bubble 'n' squeak, red wine gravy

Sunday lunch: grilled cheese sandwiches, fries & salad

Monday: black bean & sweet potato burritos with salad

Tuesday: red wine asparagus pasta & garlic bread

Wednesday: vegan brats, coleslaw & baked beans

Thursday: spaghetti & tomato sauce

Friday: pizza

    Hi CJ - can you share the recipe for the black bean and sweet potato burrito? Sounds yummy! And healthy. Thanks!

    Funny you should ask, because that's the one item on the menu I've never made and didn't have a plan for yet. NT put it down as an idea for using up our refried pintos, but I thought no way -- it's got to be black beans. Something about them and sweet potatoes just feels right.

    I looked around and there are recipes both for pureeing a mixture of the two ingredients, or for leaving the beans whole and the sweet potatoes cubed. That's more what I was thinking of, so I think I'm going to go with something like this: http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2013/02/black-bean-and-sweet-potato-burritos.html

    Of course, since I didn't really have a plan, I haven't got half of the ingredients listed here: fresh jalapeno, fresh cilantro, fresh limes, red bell pepper. But I've got canned chiles, and some super-hot pickled jalapenos, and bottled lime juice, so I think I can wing it and make it pretty yummy. Salsa and/or sour cream will be good additions, and maybe some raw onion for me and AS.

    Celery root/carrot puree. Love, Love, Love it! Check out Claire Robinson's recipe on Food Network. It's so simple. I add garlic and when I don't have shallot's, I use onion. I make a double batch and freeze it. Bon appetite! Smile

    Thanks for the tip! Celery root isn't a veg I come across too often in the grocery store, but we get it from our CSA in the late summer and I only know one good recipe for it. I bookmarked this one and will try it next time we get celeriac delivered. It usually comes around the same time as carrots, so that's handy!
