Meal Planning

Sameer is still in Alabama, so I'm planning on cooking a bit less than usual and using up more leftovers feeding just Sim and me.  Here is what I plan to make in the near future:

 

Catalan Sauteed Polenta with Spinach and Butter Beans

Because when I made it last week it only used up half the polenta, so we're having it again tonight.  Should finish off the polenta, a package of spinach, and sliced red bell pepper.

Gnocchi with Spinach and White Beans

Still haven't made this yet.

 

Tofu Salad Sandwiches

Because I have one more package of baked tofu that needs to be used up.  I also have new whole wheat tortillas that were going to become fresh veggie tacos but the store was out of mushrooms, so I'll make them into tofu salad wraps tomorrow instead. With celery and homegrown chives and broccoli sprouts.

 

Enchiladas

I'm gonna make these Friday when Sameer comes home.  He had planned to make them for Mother's Day so we already have the ingredients.

 

Pasta Salad 

 

Fresh Veggie Tacos 

I'll make these after my next trip to the store when I can get fresh mushrooms.  We have a bunch of avocados and homegrown broccoli sprouts to go into these. 

Meal Planning

I'm aiming to use up some more ingredients I have on hand this week, including dry goods from my currently overstuffed pantry.  

Vegan BBQ Ribs and Smoky Potato Salad over Greens

Because I have an unopened jar of barbecue sauce and the better part of a bag of potatoes. 

One Pot Peanut Sauce Noodles

 

Catalan Sauteed Polenta with Spinach and Butter Beans

 

Veggie Lentil Dhansak 

Because I have moong dal and toor dal taking up space in my pantry.

Punjabi Dal Fry

Again because of my excessive collection of dals.

Split Mung Bean Soup

Obviously I won't be making all these dal recipes at one time, but apparently this is the way I find dal most appealing, so I have a bunch of soup recipes here.

 

Jalapeno Chili Cornbread

Because I have grits.

 

Gnocchi with Spinach and White Beans

Because I have gnocchi. 

 

Chili Garlic Tofu Bowl

 

Falafel

 

 Enchiladas

 

[Edited 5/18/2021: Simran requested I make her something more interesting for breakfast as I had promised to do occasionally, so I made blueberry muffin overnight oats.  She gave it a thumbs up (rare from her for a healthy, vegan meal), but she also took a long time to eat it.  I was out of chia seeds, so I substituted a little almond butter and the oats were still a little runny.  I'll try making it again when I have more chia seeds.  Sim has requested I make the apple pie one next.]
