I completely missed posting a menu plan last week as we were all sick. We mostly ate a BRAT diet–Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Lots and lots of toast. The poor Princess is still coughing and yucky, but at least I’m back to cooking! I got better before the others and I can definitely say I don’t enjoy cooking for myself. After a smoothie and popcorn one night, eggs and potatoes another night, and broccoli and tomatoes another night I was bored!
The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over at Celiac Family is eggs. I am quite fond of eggs and will eat them almost any way you can think of. My favorite boiled egg recipe is this broiled toast/English muffin version, but I am also fond of shirred eggs with potatoes. We usually have eggs for breakfast at least once a week.
Dinner from Sunday!
Since the Princess has been so sick, we have been focused on passing her around and keeping her entertained so she doesn’t get bored or overheated and can work on healing. Not a whole lot of cooking going on, just some catching up on cleaning and laundry!

The Girl Who Couldn't Eat Anything 
Okay. So I didn’t buy lentils or quinoa for the taco filling but I did purchase mushrooms for my vegan chorizo ‘free’ and vegan chicken ‘free’ brown rice tacos. WoW did that make the difference. All I need to find is that liquid smoke to jazz it up a bit.

Ooo yummy! The lentils and quinoa were wonderful! A little on the tame side, so when I warmed them up I put in a little of the adobe sauce leftover from my mushroom tacos. I happily ate it two days in a row with no problems and it was filling. And super terrific to have it cook hands free in the crockpot all morning.

I’ve never seen that cereal, but it does look very good! What a bummer you were all sick. Glad you’re on the mend.

It is a good cereal especially with mounds of strawberries on top! And I learned a new word reading the box: Veganic!
It was a bummer, but we’re mostly all feeling better now.

What does veganic mean? That’s a bummer!

I think it means that not only is their cereal vegan (no animal products) they go a step further and make sure that none of their farmers use any animal products in fertilizing or anything else. Interesting to say the least.

That is an interest, for sure.
