Meal Planning

We didn't end up going out to eat a single time in the last week, so I've run out of meals and need to go grocery shopping a couple days early this week.  Here is what I have on hand that I need to use up:  a cucumber, about half a head of green cabbage, and some celery.  Here is what I'm making:

Chilli Garlic Noodles
This will be our meal tomorrow night, planned since last week.

Tofu Fried Rice
This is the third recipe I'm trying for fried rice since I didn't love the first two, and this one features a sauce that looks more promising.  I'm going to use up the last of my shredded cabbage (leftover from chilli-garlic noodles) in this too because why not. 

BBQ Seitan Ribs and Cornbread and Collard Greens with Almonds and Corn on the Cob
I'm thinking of making this after the pasta salad and/or tu-no casserole nights so that I can serve leftovers of one of them as a noodly side dish.  I'm also not sure if fresh corn is still for sale, but if it isn't, I'll just add another simple veggie side instead, such as crudites with homemade ranch dip.

Pasta Salad

Veggie Pizza and Green Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing
The salad will utilize the cucumber in my fridge.  

Tu-No Casserole and Green Salad 
This will use at least most of the celery in my fridge.

Charred Chile Relleno with Green Rice and Slow Cooker Refried Beans
I did a search for healthy chile relleno recipe and Rachael Ray's was the top hit.  It looks easy and full of ingredients I like, so I'm going with it.  I think this will be my first time trying a Rachael Ray recipe.
