Meal Planning

This week I'm aiming for the intersection of "tasty enough I'll bother" and "easy enough I'll bother."  Here is what I'm making:

Pav Bhaji

Chilli-Garlic Noodles

Soy Burgers and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
I already have the burgers premade and stashed in the freezer, so this meal mostly involves slicing the burger fixins and chopping things for the soup.

Tofu & Veggie Stirfry with Brown Rice

Gardein Burgers with Crudites and Leftover Sides
Because I'll have extra whole wheat hamburger buns after making pav bhaji, and this is really basic for when it's the weekend and I'm too lazy to do anything else.  I might use my leftover veggies from the chilli-garlic noodles to make some Vegetable Manchurian too, now that I know how to fry properly.

Meal Planning

Time for weekly meal planning.  It's supposed to be rainy and increasingly warm this week.  Here is what I'm making:

Pita Pockets and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
I'm going to make vegetarian seafood salad for the pitas and have other fixings available for Sim and Sameer, such as Tofurky slices and cheese.  I'll make this today since it's rainy and cool.

Veggie Tacos and Refried Beans

No-Huevos Rancheros
I'll make enough refried beans for both veggie taco night and huevos rancheros night.

Black Bean Nacho Pizza

Falafel
The recipe says burgers, but this time I'm making it in the traditional falafel style.  It tastes good either way.  This should use up the rest of the pita pockets.

Cheese Fries and Chik'n Tenders and Green Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing
This is basically a healthier version of what we used to order from Outback Steakhouse.  It's a variation on what I call Junk Food Dinner.
