Meal Planning around Christmastime

It's supposed to get very cold and possibly blizzardy starting on Thursday. It's currently Tuesday. Christmas is on Sunday. So I need to plan through Sunday at least. I think today we're going to have leftovers for dinner because there are currently several containers of leftovers in the fridge. I'm still eating dairy free and egg free, and I'd like to carry this on including on Christmas since it shouldn't make a huge difference in our meal planning. It basically just means I'm not making stuffed mushrooms, boxed potatoes, or green bean casserole, though Sameer can make and eat them if he wants to.


Vegan Baked Tofu Parmesan and Garlic Bread and Seared French Beans with Caper Bagna Cauda

Thursday, because I'm making French beans for Christmas too and don't want to make them back to back.


 

Taco Night with Red Cabbage Slaw and Fresh Guacamole and Fresh Salsa

Wednesday. Because Sameer wants to make salsa. Refried beans and lettuce and cheese for Sameer. Gardein fish and chipotle mayo dressing (plus the fresh salsa and slaw) for mine. Whichever Sim wants for hers.


Veggie Pizza

We can divide the dough into individual pizzas so I can omit the dairy from mine. Christmas Eve dinner.

Vegan BBQ Ribs  

Maybe Monday to go with leftover vegetable sides from Christmas. Because I've got half a bottle of barbecue sauce in my fridge leftover from last week.

 

Spaghetti & Plant-Based Meatballs (Delish Loves Disney, pg. 13)



[Edited 12/27/22: I used a leftover pizza dough from Sameer making pizza the other day and made it into garlic knots. The broccoli is just steam-in-bag florets from the freezer section with onion & herb Mrs. Dash sprinkled on top.]


Plant-Based Meatball Subs (from any leftover meatballs and hot dog buns)

These two might work best in the week after Christmas since they should use up their own leftovers and I want all leftovers gone by Wednesday night.


Beyond Brats

I'm going to buy these but keep them in the freezer so we can eat them in the week after Christmas if we need a quick meal to go with the hot dog buns or we can save them for later.


Ideas for January (because they both involve using the oven for long lengths of time and January is cold):

Falafel with Fresh Flatbread

 

Korean Eggplant Tacos with Kimchi Mayo (Vedge, pg. 170)
