Meal Planning

Time for weekly meal planning.  I currently have a bag of fresh green beans, a few fistfuls of spring greens, three rapidly aging tomatoes, a pint of cremini mushrooms, celery, and a package of vegetarian kielbasa.  Here is what I'm making:

Vegetarian Kielbasa with Sauerkraut and Seared French Beans with Caper Bagna Cauda and Steamed Mushrooms

I'm making this for Sim and me tonight while Sameer fasts.  She loves the green bean dish, but not sure how she'll feel about the kielbasa.  This will use up both the green beans and the mushrooms and half the kielbasa -- more if I eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  

Avocado Grilled Enchiladas and Red Cabbage Slaw

Sameer wants to make this for Valentine's Day tomorrow night.

Classic Vegan Fish Tacos with Pico de Gallo  

For Sim and me Tuesday night.  It'll finish off the tomatoes as well as the Gardein veg fish in the freezer.  I already have chipotle mayo in the fridge from the last time I made it, and there should be red cabbage slaw leftover from Monday night.

Ravioli with Arugula & Pecorino Romano

This will finish off the bag of cheese ravioli in the freezer.  Saturday night because it's so quick and easy, and I hate cooking on Saturdays.

Vegan Shepherd's Pie

Because it'll use up some of my carrots, celery, lentils, and frozen peas.  I'll use boxed mashed potatoes and soy milk for the topping because it's easy and I already have it. 

Spiced Spinach Tofu Stir-fry and Brown Rice and Garlic Naan

I still have a bunch of garlic naan in the freezer, so this seemed like a good use of it.  I chose the spinach tofu because beans and greens are the hardest things to get enough of in my diet.  I can also throw any leftover frozen greens in this.  I saw a bag of something dark and leafy in the back of my freezer recently and I'd like to use it up.

 

Thursday Sim and I will have some kind of leftovers or sandwiches while Sameer is fasting.  We should have plenty of surplus food from the other days.
