Today is Monday on a Tuesday for me. I had 7 days straight of work or work events, so I took Monday off. Laura stayed over after our work event and we went hunting for supplies forthe birthday party I am hosting for her in April. We made good progress! We just need a few more goodies and the craft supplies, then we’ll be ready.
Don’t really have anything exciting to talk about since I’ve been so busy with work. We need to grocery shop so I am trying to plan out meals and food lists. Does anyone have suggestions on good vegan or low-dairy veggie meals that are inexpensive and quick/easy to make? Bonus points if a meat item can also be prepared to go with it so Dan doesn’t have to eat veggie with me.
Not sure if this will fit you or not

Thanks for all the great links!
FatFreeVegan is a great site! She also has a huge list of other vegan food blogs. Sometimes I spend hours just looking at all the vegan food porn. Vegan Dad is also another fantastic vegan recipe site.
The chicken part was for your hubby – you could cook it in two different pans. I am sure you can use a vegan cheese vs the parmesan.
