Gluten Free Menu Swap and Meal Plan Monday: Avocado Yogurt Sauce Recipe
Grilled pumpkin lasagna I made last week with fresh grilled seasoned pumpkin slices, a bechamel sauce with roasted grated carrot, mushrooms and a ricotta mixture topped with cheese on Tinkyada Brown Rice Lasagna pasta noodles. Yummy!

The “dressing” of the week this week is actually more of a sauce. Lately, in an effort to get more protein into my diet I have been having a fried egg for breakfast. I had a mopey avocado remnant that nneeded using up as well as some yogurt that called my name and ended up in a tasty, easy sauce. Enjoy!

Hi Shan- Well, the kitties might object to another resident, but you can come over for dinner anytime!
Hi Rona- thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Angela- Thanks so much! So sorry I couldn’t figure out who was hosting- I couldn’t remember where the temp. headquarters are.
Hi Dana- You know, it’s not half bad. I served it to my (ravenously carnivorous) Dad and he liked it! It’s quite spicy- a chorizo substitute. (GF and Veg, of course)
Hi Sue, Thanks!

Thank you for linking to my menu. I always love reading yours!
I think I may have to try your Vegetarian Moussaka – I love tempeh and have some eggplant in the fridge.
Have a great week!
