Menu B: Recipe List

This is more ambitious than Menu A, mostly because it just plain makes a lot of food:  66 servings total.  If you’re cooking for 2, you’re covered for a solid month, and if you’re cooking for 3 and have a few spaghetti nights/dinners elsewhere, it should still work out.

Also, since Menu A requires two sometimes hard-to-find ingredients (the nutritional yeast and vital wheat gluten), this menu won’t use either one. 

• Pinto Beans & Rice (crock pot) 
• Eggplant Pomodoro 
• Tortilla-Black Bean Casserole 
• Delicious Pakistani Dhal 
• Ethiopian Spicy Tomato Lentil Stew 
• Moroccan Vegetable Stew with Herbed Couscous 
• African Peanut-Potato Stew 
• Caribbean Beans & Quinoa  
• Barbeque Tofu (crock pot) 
• Cumin Rice with Eggplant & Peas 

There was almost an accidental world theme where every recipe would have clearly been from a specific country.  I ended up ditching a French Lentil Soup recipe (okay, I don’t think that’s actually from France, but still.  Cute.) and an Enchilada recipe because they were too similar to other things, but I’m much happier with what I replaced them with, and hey – now there’s no accidental world theme!  I love international food, but I think that’s one of those things that sounds great until you actually announce it to your roommate (“Hey!  Guess what?  Every dinner you eat for the next month will be a recipe themed on a different country!”)  If I tried that stunt, my sister would either kill herself or me – not sure which, but I don’t like my odds.

Of course, if you’re into the world cuisine idea, the last two recipes still give you enough latitude to claim it.
