I've made nutloaf and savory casserole in the past couple of weeks. I find the food at fest to be healthy and I enjoy some meals more than others, but I am generally so hungry they always satisfy. Breakfast is scrambled eggs on Wednesday and Friday, scrambled tofu on Thursday, and huevos rancheros for brunch on Sunday. Fruit, granola, the most delicious yogurt I've ever had, and peanut butter and tahini with bread are available every day.
Monday is load-in, and a light dinner of hummus, cheese, and salad is served with bread. Tuesday lunch is cheese and veggie sandwiches, chickpea and feta salad, and tossed salad. Wednesday I enjoy much more: cucumber and tomato and potato salad. Dinner is Indian curry, basmati rice, steamed broccoli and of course tossed salad.
Thursday is waldorf salad and green bean salad. I start missing meat today. The salads are pretty crunchy. Dinner is burrito night with Spanish rice and lots of fixins like cheese, onions, sour cream. This is my least favorite meal, I think I'd like it if I did it more as a salad and less as a burrito.
Friday I start to get some satisfaction in the form of pasta salad, cause I miss the carbs! Also, Tuscan white bean salad for protein. Dinner on Thursday is one of my favorites: Moroccan stew with banana yogurt raita and sesame kale. I really love the kale! I can't find it around here.
Saturday is carrot fantasia and cous cous for lunch. Meh. But dinner! Penne pasta puttanesca, green beans, and tossed salad! Fabulous!
Sunday is the huevos rancheros lunch, which I love. Sunday night dinner is my favorite! I've actually only had it once, when I worked a kitchen shift. Savory casserole with sesame broccoli and of course tossed salad.
There you go. The menu at Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. Next year: the Belly Bowl.
Seriously, no kale in your neck of the woods? Get thee to a farmer's market!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the burritos. The tortillas are just too flimsy too stuff. I think salad is the way to go.
Agreed on Saturday lunch, too. Double meh. But I absolutely love the scrambled eggs, savory casserole, and pasta puttanesca!
