Meal Planning

My goal today is meal planning through New Years weekend.  My meal planning goal around the holidays tends to be a combination of holiday feasts and using up leftovers the rest of the time.  After the new year, I want to eat healthier (which for me mostly means more whole food plant-based and less cheese and oil), so I don't want to have a lot of leftovers after Friday.  Here is what I have to use up:  8 egg whites + 3 eggs, about a pint of whole milk, and about a pint of vegetable broth.

Here is what I'm making this week:

Avocado Grilled Enchiladas and Red Cabbage Slaw

We didn't end up making this yet.

 

Classic Vegan Fish Tacos with Pico de Gallo 

Because I love this and it's easy when we already have the red cabbage slaw prepared.

Lasagna

We didn't end up making this yet either.  It should use up a few containers of random shredded cheese taking up space in my fridge, so that'll be nice.

Loaded Nachos

I'm thinking of this for New Years Eve because it's delicious junk food that generates no leftovers.  We have tons of avocados I could make into guacamole, and there is some sour cream leftover in the fridge too.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Tomato Soup

Terribly unhealthy, but I love it so much. And I have lots of bread and cheese on hand at the moment. This meal is a "maybe."

French Onion Soup and Omelets and leftover Green Beans with Bagna Cauda

Sameer is making this tonight because he's been wanting to try a vegetarian French Onion soup recipe he found.  The eggs and whites will become the omelets.
