Meal Planning

Sameer will be out of town Wednesday and Thursday for a work conference, so it'll just be me and Sim those nights. I'm still working on clearing the freezer and cleaning out the pantry. The fridge is pretty much down to condiments, pickled things, and very recent leftovers. Here is what I'm making:

Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Sweet Potatoes and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

I keep making the broccoli soup because it's healthy and easy on to digest (presumably due to the pureeing). I'll make today's batch with the leftover buckeye beans in the fridge and the remainder of the kale in the freezer. I think the loaf will use up my remaining brown lentils, in which case I'll substitute black caviar lentils to make up the difference. They're tiny but have a similar firmness that should work. I think I just need celery and broccoli to make this meal.

Vegan BBQ Ribs and Collard Greens with Almonds

To use up the half bottle of KC Masterpiece in the fridge and some of the vital wheat gluten taking up space in the freezer. I already have everything I need to make this meal.

Miso Soup with Spinach & Dulse (The How Not to Die Cookbook, pg. 51) and Grocery Store Vegetable Sushi?

Sim has musical practice until dinnertime on Wednesday, so this should be pretty easy for me to throw together before picking her up. I just hope the grocery store has enough vegetable sushi. They usually only have one serving available at a time. I have no idea why. The soup will use up the spinach in my fridge as well as some of the dried seaweed in the pantry, and I just like miso soup.

Leftover Soup and DIY Sandwiches

An easy Thursday night dinner with Sim before Sameer gets home from his conference.

I plan to finish off the week's meal plan by finishing off the week's leftovers on Friday and Saturday. If we run out, it's easy to make sandwiches or quesadillas or fake meat from the freezer.
