Meal Planning

My brain isn't functioning optimally for meal planning, so this is basic stuff I could think of that won't be too labor intensive. It's warm this week, mostly in the 70s, so I'm avoiding using the oven too heavily. We got the new toaster oven, but it also generates a lot of heat around it.

Hot Dogs and Baked Beans and Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Deviled Eggs

Wednesday in honor of May Day. And because we already have everything to make all of this.

 

Ravioli with Arugula & Pecorino 

It's easy and I like it. I'll make this Tuesday since Simran has voice lessons until 5pm and I need something quick to whip up.

Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff

Thursday I guess. Because I have sour cream and some mushrooms to use up, and I haven't made this in ages.

Spinach & Feta Pita Bake

Monday night because it requires the oven and Monday is the coolest weather.

Black Bean Quesaritos

Weekend junk food dinner. Because I think we still have nacho cheese in the fridge and potentially enough sour cream to make both the stroganoff and a fresh batch of the spicy quesadilla sauce.

Vegetable Barley Soup and Vegetarian Reubens

Hot Dogs and Corn and Baked Beans and Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Super Salad with Garlic Caesar Dressing & Hemp Hearts (from The How Not to Die Cookbook, pg. 83)

Not a meal, but to serve with multiple meals.

Meal Planning

Open containers of things I have to use up: half a container of nonfat cottage cheese, a small jar of pesto sauce, a couple small jars of tomato-based sauces, lite sour cream, salsa, nonfat Greek yogurt, some small slices of sourdough bread, and a package of veg kielbasa. Here is what I'm making:

Pesto Alfredo Primavera Pasta

This will use up the pesto, and I can make the last of the sourdough bread into garlic bread.

Vegan Fried Chicken with ranch dip and Baked Beans and Various Veggie Sides

The ranch dip will use up the remaining nonfat Greek yogurt.

Spaghetti and Meatless Balls with Marinara and Veggie Side

To use up the tomato-based sauces.

Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans

To use up the salsa in the fridge.
