Meal Planning

Since Thursday is my usual grocery day lately, and this week is Thanksgiving, I'm doing my post-Thanksgiving meal planning right now.  Just easy stuff.  I want to clear out as much of my fridge and freezer and pantry as possible, plus do a bit of detox in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Here's what I've got planned for the days immediately following Thanksgiving:

Green Enchiladas and Mexican Chopped Salad
I still have the ingredients for Mexican Chopped Salad in the fridge.  I'll just whatever ones are still good and skip the rest.  The green enchiladas recipe is a new uber-healthy one.  I might make a more interesting blend with the white beans, maybe adding some garlic salsa.  We'll see.  It'll use up some of the corn tortillas in my fridge too.

Kichari and Cucumber-Tomato Salad
Last time I made this, it was surprisingly good and hearty for a clean, healthy meal.  Too much clove though, for both Sameer and me, so this time around I'll just use a dash of ground clove.

Chilli-Garlic Noodles
This will use up the chilli-garlic paste and green onions in the fridge.

Vegetarian Korma
I have tons of korma base taking up space in my freezer at the moment.  This will use up a full 3-cup container of it. 

Pav Bhaji
I can use up any remaining cauliflower or other random veg from the korma to make pav bhaji.  I might skip making rolls and just buy whole-grain hamburger buns.  It's so much easier.  I'm sick of making bread lately.

Seitan & Veggie Stirfry and Brown Rice
I always have chopped vegetables and seitan in my freezer ready to go for this dish.  It gives me a feeling of accomplishment to use them up.
