Meal Planning

I'm late on the meal planning this week.  I'm sick and not feeling like doing this, let alone cooking.  I'll try to make simple stuff this week.  Here is what I have to use up:  a head of broccoli, a whole mess of cut green bell peppers, a bunch of red kale, and a few carrots.  Here is what I'm making:

Thai Green Curry with Brown Rice
This will use up at least some of the green peppers and broccoli.

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup and Veg Turkey Club Sandwiches
Sameer is having dental work done Wednesday, so he has requested this particular soup.  I can throw any leftover broccoli into it alongside the frozen broccoli.  The sandwich is something I've been making for as long as I've been vegetarian.  It's essentially a turkey club but with vegetarian fake turkey from Smart Deli and veg bacon from Morningstar.

Black Bean Oatmeal Burgers on Homemade Whole Wheat Buns with Red Kale and Walnut Sauce
These burgers will use up the carrots and don't require me to buy much.

Black Bean Nacho Pizza
This recipe is my compromise between making exclusively healthy food for Simran's sake and making something we really want to eat.  Aside from the cheese, it's pretty healthy.  Plus it will use up the extra tomatoes and green onions I have to buy for some of this week's other dinners.

Pasta Primavera
The Giada De Laurentiis recipe is relatively healthy (aside from the cheese and oil), and I know it's good because I've made it before.  I plan to use whole wheat pasta.  If I run it through Simran's food mill, she can probably eat it and would like it.
