Meal Planning

Sameer and his mom are both going out of town Tuesday, so most of the week will just be Sim and me. There are still two dinners with all of us though, and Sameer should be back for dinner Friday. I'm going to try to clean out the fridge, freezer, and pantry a bit in the lead up to Thanksgiving. I also want to make some dishes I haven't made in the last few months, like some mushroom- and fake-meat-based dishes. I'm going to do easy meals that don't create a bunch of leftovers while it's just Sim and me (mostly sandwiches probably). Here is what I'm planning to make the rest of the time:


Avocado Grilled Enchiladas with Red Chile Pesto and Bagged Salad

There was a good deal on bagged salad, so I bought three, which leaves me with two more to use up quickly. I think we'll do this meal tonight.


Air Fryer Tofu with Rice and Bagged Salad

Monday night.


After Sameer gets home:


Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon


Instant Pot Garlic Mushrooms and Caulipots and Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Whole Grain Mustard Sauce 

Because the vegan mushroom bourguignon will yield extra potatoes and cauliflower.


Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread

I think I need more TVP. I mostly like making this because it's a way to use up random beans from my Rancho Gordo Bean boxes. Also, everyone likes cornbread.


Nashville Hot Cauliflower Bites

If there is even more leftover cauliflower.
