Meal Planning

I can make a couple more dinners out of what I've got on hand, but I'm planning to go to Whole Foods tomorrow, so I want to have a multi-day meal plan I can shop while I'm there. I didn't make the barley vegetable soup yet, so I've still got everything to do with that. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and starting to get cooler again, so maybe the soup and sandwiches from the fresh bread I'm going to buy. Here is what else I'm making:

Sandwiches and Vegetable Barley Soup

I still have mozzarella and cream cheese that could easily become grilled cheese. I also have vegan Swiss cheese and vegan butter and veg turkey, lettuce, and tomatoes that could become the garlic bread sandwiches. Or club sandwiches. I might do soup and sandwiches two different nights, with different soups and different sandwiches. I just need a loaf of bread to make these two dinners.

[Vegetable barley soup and garlic bread sandwich with veg turkey etc. I made these Saturday night. Sim had "pizza sandwich" (veg pepperoni and cheese on garlic bread) and the soup. I tossed the last of the green beans from the freezer into the soup. Friday night we had grilled cheese and tomato soup.]

 

Breakfast Burrito with sausage

Haven't made this one in the past week. Still using up sausages from the freezer. I'm planning to do this one tonight for dinner for Sim and me. This might use up the potatoes in the pantry.

Lasagna and Garlic Bread and Green Salad

I could use up the last of my mixed greens and some of the salad dressing from the fridge making salad, and any sourdough leftover from sandwiches could become garlic bread. There is an open jar of pizza sauce in the fridge that could be dumped into the lasagna. Maybe the kalamata olives too. Why not. I also have a bag of cut spinach in the fridge, half of which could probably fit into a lasagna.

Tofu Provencal and Brown Basmati Rice Pilaf and Some Kind of Veggie Side

Because I'm still working on finishing off the capers currently in the fridge.

 

Falafel

Because I have half a jar of tahini and a full container of cashew yogurt in my fridge, and a falafel dinner could use up part of those. I really only need to buy parsley, pita bread, and a cucumber or two for this.

 

Spiced Spinach Tofu Stir-Fry and Brown Basmati Rice

To use up the remainder of the frozen spinach and some if not all of the cashew yogurt. I really just need some fresh spinach and some tofu to make this.

 

Nachos

It's a fun junk food dinner, and it can use up the last vestiges of cheese and pickled jalapeno from the fridge. Might put this one off until closer to fridge delivery date, especially since it doesn't yield leftovers.

Cherry Chocolate Chia Pudding 

Still need to use up some more dark cherries from the freezer (there's at least one bag left), but I need to buy more dates first.

 

Chocolate Banana Shake

Because it uses up the bananas in the freezer. It's also a nutritious way to offset a chocolate craving since it's just unsweetened soy milk, frozen bananas, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
