Mostly Vegetarian Week

Welcome to my first post!  Thank you for stopping by.  With all the heat here in the New York City area (where we live), I have decided to opt for mostly vegetarian options for our next five dinners.  You'll see that I mainly plan just for Sunday-Thursday and leave Friday and Saturday open for my husband to decide.  He likes to grill on the Summer weekends and have some input on those meals.

The format will be to list each day's dinner menu then cite the recipe's creator and where you can find it (since most recipes have a copyright).

Here we go with the menu for the week of July 24, 2011.
