Monday sneaks up on us so quickly. That pesky alarm clock goes off Monday morning and we immediately start thinking about the week - at least I do! Work, school, kids, lunches, appointments, planning Easter brunch, and the age old questions what to make to dinner. Given the fact that we are so busy scheduling and planning I have decided this week to give you a recipe everyday. That's correct a new recipe all week long. No catch I just want to offer up some new, easy and healthy recipes to ease the daunting dinner menu! Being that today is Meatless Monday our first recipe of the week is...
