Meal Planning

 Time to order groceries again.  Here is what I'm planning to make:

Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta with Garlic Soy Curls

Sounds good and I have tons of soy curls.

 

Instant Pot Kitchari 

Because I have bags of moong dal in my pantry for no particular reason and would like to use them.

Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

I'm the only one in the house who likes mushrooms, but we haven't had them in a long time and this sounds good.  I'm also aiming for more easy Instant Pot recipes this week because I haven't had much energy in the last week and don't want to plan on anything too complicated.

One Pot Peanut Sauce Noodles

[Edited 3/3/2021: I made this a few nights ago and LOVED it.  Once the veg is cut up, it's very quick to cook.  I think it's going to become a lazy day staple like the red beans and rice.  I added black Chinese vinegar and miso and extra soy sauce (and largely skipped the salt because of the salty miso and soy sauce) and we had no leftovers.  This would be a great use of bok choy.]

 

Creole Red Beans & Rice

 

Black Bean Burgers

 

Jalapeno Pepper Chickpea Salad Sandwich 

 

Pav Bhaji   

Meal Planning

Ordering from Instacart again today.  We are really only running low on fruit at the moment, but I need to plan meals so we're set for the next week or more.  Here is what I'll be able to make:

Creole Red Beans & Rice

This is just something easy to keep the ingredients on hand for now. 

 

Dal Makhani and Palak Tofu and Naan and Brown Basmati Rice

Because I haven't made any of this in awhile and it sounds good.  I mostly just need to buy spinach.

Black Bean Burgers

 

Tofu Pot Pie 

Only listing this because I have an appropriate amount of cubed tofu in the freezer.

 

Homemade Pizza and Lacinato Kale with Walnut Sauce 

Not sure if I'll make pizza again already, but I know I have the pizza ingredients including a pizza dough in the freezer.  Definitely making the kale.  I might even order enough bunches of kale to make it twice. 

 

Avocado Grilled Enchilada with Red Chile Pesto and Black Beans and Red Cabbage Slaw  

Definitely making this -- probably tonight -- because we have yogurt and vegan chik'n strips to use up and we haven't had this meal in awhile.

 

Idli-Sambar

I wouldn't be excited to eat this again this soon, but it's handy to have the ingredients on hand.

Vegan Pumpkin Chipotle Fried Rice

Sounds easy and the rest of my meal plan is getting pretty redundant.

Jalapeno Pepper Chickpea Salad Sandwich and Soup

I've been eyeing this recipe for awhile.  It just sounds good.

Brinner

Because it's always an option and I need to use up some yogurt in the next two days and that will probably mean a big batch of pancakes.

Samosa Wraps

Another sandwich that sounds really good and I think I already keep the ingredients on hand.

Baked Chili Garlic Tofu Noodle Bowl

This sounds good and if I serve it the day after the dal makhani and palak tofu I can serve leftovers of naan and whatever else alongside it.  

Meal Planning

I'm ordering from Instacart again this morning before the snowstorm and cold snap start.  Sameer is not going to be fasting for awhile, so I need more meal plans this week.  Here is what I'll be making:

Chilli-Garlic Noodles

 

Creole Red Beans & Rice

 

Vegan Garlicky Korean Mac and Cheese 

 

Vegan Okonomiyaki

I don't think this will be a full meal, but it sounds good and it'll use up the rest of the cabbage needed for the chilli-garlic noodles.

 

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup and Sandwiches

 

Homemade Pizza and Lacinato Kale with Walnut Sauce  

 

Black Bean Burgers 

 

Brinner

 

Vegan Penne alla Vodka

 

Tofu Pot Pie
