Meal Planning

We're going grocery shopping tomorrow with two of last week's meals yet to be made.  Time for weekly meal planning.  I want to get as much of my freezer cleared out as possible before Simran's birthday party since I need space for the ice cream maker (you have to freeze the big cup thing in advance, and it takes up an entire shelf of my freezer) and homemade ice cream.  This is my attempt to use up some of that stuff, as well as some stuff from my pantry.  I'm also trying to squeeze in a few more soups before the weather is warm enough for that to seem weird.

Chilli-Garlic Noodles and Soup from the freezer
This is a carry over meal from last week.  I plan to make it tomorrow.  There are a few single serving containers of soup leftovers in the freezer that will work as a side.

Falafel
Another carry over meal from last week.  I ran out of pita bread before I could make it.

Pita Pocket Sandwiches and Red Lentil & Squash Curry Stew
This will use up the remaining pita pockets I buy for the falafel.  I want to make the pita filling essentially a white bean spread (maybe buffalo hummus) and salad fixins.  I plan to make the stew with whatever squash and sweet potato is currently taking up space in my freezer.  I'll add a carton of pumpkin puree from the pantry to fill in the blanks if necessary.

Pasta Salad and Curry Pumpkin Soup
This will use up one of my stockpiled boxes of whole wheat pasta taking up space in the pantry.  I'm going to try it with elbow macaroni this time. 

Cheese Pizza and Garden Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing
This will use up one of the pizza doughs in my freezer, as well as a jar of the pizza sauce I have stockpiled in the pantry.

Tofu Provençal and Baked Brown Basmati Rice Pilaf

Seitan & Veggie Stirfry and Brown Rice

This will use up some more seitan from the freezer as well as the last of the broccoli and baby corn in the freezer.
