I’m doing little to no cooking this week thanks to the vegetarian food swap I organized in our community. The awesome part of all of this (besides the not having to cook-have I mentioned I don’t have to cook?!?!), is that I get to try some new dishes. Here’s what the Frank Family is indulging in this week:
Breakfast
Cold Cereal and/or Cottage Cheese/Greek Yogurt with Fresh Fruit and Toast
Lunch/Dinner (Compliments of the Food Swap Families!)
Moorish-Style Chickpea and Spinach Stew (thanks to Mary Jo)–I think we’re going to eat this with rice, though I’m not certain.
Spinach and Feta Quiche (thanks to Corrin)–We at this with bagels for lunch today–It was amazing!
Tex-Mex Veggie Chili (thanks to Anita); I’ll be making bread to eat with this later this week.
Quinoa, Corn and Spinach Chowder with Homemade Fresh Bread (chowder recipe from Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison’s Kitchen
Additionally, I’ll be supplementing these dishes with the following simple meals:
ALTs with Chips and Guacamole
Pasta with Homemade Marinara Sauce and Homemade Bread
Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches with Cottage Cheese and Green Smoothies
Next week, Josh, Jude, and I will be visiting my family and our friends in Scranton, PA, so I probably won’t be posting a menu. I’m really, really looking forward to breakfast at Abe’s, coffee/lunch at Zummo’s, and dinner at the Banshee. I’m also really looking forward to sharing meals with our friends/hosts, the Bader-Sayes. Woo hoo for friends!

Aw, have some coffee and eggs at Abe’s for me.
So, how does the food swap work? I’ve never done one of those. Sounds like you’re going to be eating well this week, though!
Hope you can stop by and check out what’s on our menu: http://littlestuffoflife.blogspot.com/2009/05/on-menu-week-of-5309.html
Have a great week!
Hey! Did you do a blog post on your community food swap? Would love to know all the ins and outs of it. Such an awesome idea and a wonderful week of food you have in store. Have a great time next week… You will be missed, so please come visit. Thanks for joining in the Chive Talkin Blog Roll… I love having you! Cheers!
I am wondering if we have the same chickpea stew recipe–mine has a morracan flair to it.
And I love that you have Tex-Mex
