Meal Planning

I'm doing meal planning and grocery shopping extra early this week due to engagements after Tuesday, so a lot of the meals are actually still from last week's meal plan.  I'm not planning for more than a week's worth of meals at the moment since we might do takeout at least once in the coming week, and the fridge is currently full of potential options.  Here is what I'm making:

Veggie Hotdogs and Veggie Kabobs with Green Goddess Dressing
This is my Memorial Day dinner plan.

Vegan BBQ Ribs in Homemade BBQ Sauce and Potato Salad and Crudites and Homemade Ranch Dressing

Vegan Pot Roast and Green Salad

Veggie Pizza and Green Salad     

Vegan Pad Thai

Seitan & Veggie Stir-fry and Brown Rice   

Pita Pizzas
This is my second "pizza" of the week, but it's quick and easy and will use up some of the mushrooms bought for veggie kabobs, the fresh baby spinach I keep on hand at all times now because I frequently use it in breakfast shakes, the herbed feta in the fridge with a fast looming best-by date, and the two pita pockets on my counter from last time I made this dish.

Crispy Breaded Tofu Strips and Collard Greens with Almonds and Stuffed Baked Potatoes 
Sim still likes the breaded tofu and I still love the collard greens, but we're all sick of the winter squash mac 'n cheez I usually serve with them.  I'm making stuffed baked potatoes instead, and we're doing it vegan.  I'm not sure how to dress them up yet, but I think having options of shredded carrots, chives (my plants on the deck are finally growing back post-winter), tiny broccoli florets and maybe red onions would all be good.  I also want to make cashew cheese to try out.  Sim would live off fruit and cheese if given the opportunity, so I'm always looking for new, healthier ways to give her the cheesy foods she loves without stuffing her full of actual cheese quite as often.  If this cashew cheese is good, it could work as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
