Sameer's mom is coming to stay again starting Saturday. My goal this week is to use up as many ingredients I have on hand as possible and make things I don't make when she is here. Here is what I'm making:
Pasta Primavera
Because I don't want to go to the grocery store today while Sim is still off from school, and I can make a sauce from leftover open jars and cream cheese in the fridge, and I have enough frozen vegetables and vegan chik'n slices in the freezer to fill it out.
Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread
Tomorrow because I have lots of dry beans in the pantry and Sim has voice lessons starting up again and this one can be ready in the Instant Pot when we get home.
Because I have some homemade burgers still taking up space in my freezer.
I love this and have most of the ingredients on hand, and my MIL doesn't eat mushrooms so I won't make it while she's here.
Veg Big Macs & Fries
Friday night junk food dinner. My MIL does not eat fake meat, and I would like to have burgers before she arrives. This one will require buying most of the ingredients, but that's okay.
I might make this Saturday when MIL arrives because we all like it, the only ingredient I need is Mexican rice. I'm starting a new medication that day so I don't know how I'll feel, and I can prep most of it in advance.
Other Dinners I Want to Make Soon:
Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Veggie Side
Because I have a whole bag of organic sweet potatoes to use up.
Because I have a jar of sun-dried tomato pesto. This one might wait until my MIL arrives since I can leave the mushrooms off hers.
I think I can make this while my MIL is here, and the chilli miso pasta will yield enough leftover tofu to make it. The only reason I'm not making it today is because I'm out of tofu.
For Breakfast:
