Read this only if you are super bored...

Now that I'm finished with piano lessons (I'll still teach a few over the summer, but they're pretty low-key), I have more time to experiment with food.  I'm trying to move in the direction of "from scratch" cooking as much as possible, but I still have a toddler and a baby, so time is pretty limited.  Being the uber-nerd that I am, I came up with a detailed meal-plan for this week (oh yes, snacks are included!).  Next week is Vegan Week, but for the time being, I'm still incorporating dairy/egg products.  

Here's what it looks like:

And here's part of my geeky shopping list, broken into categories:

Now, you may be wondering why on earth I would write such an incredibly boring blog.  When we switched to vegetarian eating, I felt a little lost because I'd grown up planning meals around meat.  There are a lot of websites on the ol' internets that provide great recipes for vegetarian eating, however, I have a young family keeping me very busy.  It's hard to find the time to look up healthy recipes, experiment with new recipes, and find something that everyone enjoys eating.  I kept saying I wish I had a vegetarian "mentor."  So I guess I'm just going to record our successes and failures, and if someone gets some helpful ideas from it, great.  If not, sorry for putting you to sleep.  

You were warned.
