Meal Planning

Time for meal planning.  Here is what I have to use up this week:  one bunch of red kale; portions of green, yellow, and red bell peppers; a couple of flour tortillas; half a can of diced tomatoes; half a sweet potato, diced; three roma tomatoes; a few carrots; and one bunch of basil I apparently forgot to put in last week's pasta primavera.  Here is what I'm making:

Thai Green Curry
I'm making this yet again.  I have way too many of the ingredients not to (bell peppers, sweet potato, basil), and it's easy to get Simran to eat it.

Vegan Chili and Polenta
This is another easy one to get Simran to eat, and it will use up some of the leftover bell peppers and the diced tomatoes.

On The Border-Style Grilled Avocado Enchiladas with Red Chile Pesto and a side of Red Cabbage Slaw
Sameer requested these grilled enchiladas to use up the flour tortillas.

Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wraps and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
These wraps will use up (most of) the rest of the shredded red cabbage and carrots.  The soup is just an easy accompaniment that everyone in the family likes.

Tofu Scramble and Kale with Walnut Sauce
This will use up the roma tomatoes and the kale.  We also discovered today that Simran likes the dark leafy greens in walnut sauce.  I put it through her baby food mill with a little unsweetened almond milk to thin it out since she only has two teeth so far.

Spaghetti with Marinara and Kale with Walnut Sauce
This is a quick, easy meal everyone likes.
