new menu

[Melissa Knox]

They just posted a vegan mini-menu on the OAMM site! It's pretty
similar to the dinner selections from the larger vegetarian lists:
http://onceamonthmom.com/10-day-mini-vegan-july-2012-menu/ Are you
guys interested? If so, can I suggest one adjustment? I think we
should make Margaret's kale gratin (with rice or quinoa) instead of
the quinoa and kale side dishes they include for the "Vegan Meat and
Potatoes".

Sounds great! Our family loves Tina's kale gratin!

Thanks, Melissa!  I agree with your suggestion about switching to Margaret's kale gratin (I wish I could take credit for this delicious dish)!  If people want a meat-y dish, we could sub the seitan for chicken for the orange seitan dish (although I personally love seitan).

I've never had seitan, but would be open to using it, or doing chicken!

Btw, the coconut chicken is awesome! I'm planning to make more next time QFC has a sale on fresh chicken!!

Hey everyone:

I took a closer look at the menu, and there are NO no-cook recipes on it, which means everything is going to need stove time.  Because of that, I'm a little hesitant to add the kale gratin, which does require significant stove time to cook--I think last time we made it, it was on the stove for at least an hour, possibly more.

Also, I wonder if we could ditch one of the pineapple dishes?  While *I* love pineapple, I can't say the same for my menfolk, so it would be nice to only have to force them to eat one pineapple dish :-).  Maybe we could replace the lentil bake with the lentil thing we made at our second meeting?

Hello everyone,

August 26th is fast approaching! and I am looking forward to our next cooking group.  I wanted to confirm that we are all good with the veggie menu with some alterations?  Please let me know by Friday for sure:  it sounded as though Margaret, Melissa, and Michelle were ok with it (as am I).  Correct?  After that, next steps will include double checking the scaled up recipes and shopping list, and then making sure the shopper have the correct lists!

Thanks,
Tina
