Menu Plan for March 4 - March 10

After the explosion last week, I am happy to report this week as "accident free".  We had the usual trip to Aldi today.  Everything above for $17...PLUS a small order from Whole Foods (5 lb organic carrots, kale, vegan cream cheese & butter, coconut milk, maybe 1 or 2 more things I forgot)...spent around $17 there too.  Speaking of, I canNOT wait for Whole Foods to open here!!! 

I'm not sure why I have all these soups going on this week.  Maybe it's because I'm a little chilly now and the sound of a soup/stew is warming.  The soup recipes are new to me so I just hope they are yummy!!  How about you...anything new you are trying this week?

Menu Plan for the week (Feb 26 - March 3)

I had started to clean the mess at the arrow but thought a picture to capture the moment would be nice.

No, that isn't ice or the next in style kitchen decor.  That, my friends, is what use to be my 9x13 baking dish.   Apparently when you turn on a cooking unit and it heats a baking dish that is sitting on the 'eye' this is what happens.  Now, for clarification, I didn't mean to.  I thought I turned on the rear unit not the front.  On the front sat my dish patiently waiting for me.  On the other front unit was this...

Our dinner.  Just sitting there all sauteed up waiting for the liquid to cover it.  Then after the BIG explosion, I happened to see the lovely GLASS chunk.  Great, a whole pot of black bean veggie stew wasted, well the veggies anyway (and my time cutting and slicing everything).  I am pretty sure those are tiny peices of glass on my spatula.  Oh should I mention the fact that I was standing in front of the oven when this happened.  My dish actually hit my hip.  I walked away injury free, thankfully.  Also, a blessing to be mentioned is that I was making this Saturday and my children were not in the kitchen like they usually are. Glass was EVERYWHERE...from the laundry room, back door to our breakfast nook as well as all over the counter.  YUP my fun story from last week so now for our menu...
