Meal Planning

Dal Bhat Shak Rotli

With green beans and urad dal. 

Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans

Because I didn't make this last week and it's healthy and easy.

Brinner with Breakfast Burrito and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Because I have a surplus of yogurt that could go into pancakes. Maybe next weekend.

Chilli-Garlic Noodles

Because I have enough milder chilli-garlic paste in the fridge from last time I made it to make it one more time.

Air Fryer Tofu with Rice and Crunchy Asian Slaw

In case I have green cabbage leftover from the chilli-garlic noodles.

Spiced Spinach Tofu Stir-Fry and Garlic Naan and Slow Cooker Dal Makhani

Meal Planning

Here is what I have to use up: a red bell pepper, some burger buns, and some russet potatoes. Here is what I'm making:

Spinach & Feta Pita Bake

French Onion Skillet Lasagna  

Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans

Pav Bhaji

To use up the burger buns, bell pepper, and some of the potatoes.

Dal Bhat Shak Rotli

With green beans and urad dal.

Avocado Grilled Enchiladas with Red Chile Pesto with Red Cabbage Slaw

Black Bean Quesaritos

Because there is still some nacho cheese in my refrigerator.

Meal Planning

Time for meal planning again. I'm making idli-sambar for dinner tonight since it's finally cooler and rainy. Starting tomorrow for the next week is the Jain festival of Paryushan, so my mother-in-law will be eating different meals from the rest of us (she can't have garlic, onions, or other root vegetables; I'm not sure what other food restrictions exist -- I just buy what I'm told to buy). I'm planning to make some vegetarian fake meat dishes I've been craving that I don't otherwise make when she's here because she doesn't eat fake meat. Here is what I'm making:

Breakfast Burrito 

Veggie Burgers

Plant-Based Spaghetti and Meatballs

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Meal Planning

Time for meal planning. I didn't get through everything from my last meal plan yet, but I did make a lot of it. Here is what I'm making now:

DIY Tacos/Tostadas

This is dinner tonight. We're in the middle of a Labor Day week heat wave, so I'm avoiding the stove/oven.

Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans

Zucchini Besan Sabzi and Turmeric Spinach Golden Lentil Dal with Rice and Roti

Breakfast Burrito 

Enchiladas
