Meat Free Week
Meat free week was March 23-39 and I’m pleased to say that most of our meals were meat free during that time. I thought I’d share our vegetarian menu for that week. Monday Chickpea curry. Similar recipe Here. I did make a few little changes. Tuesday Boston baked beans. You can find a recipe Here. I […]
