Chili Miso Pasta

Red Chile Enchiladas and Bagged Salad

Black Bean Burgers

Spinach & Feta Pita Bake

Vegan Garlicky Korean Mac and Cheese 

Meal Planning

I have way too many beans and soy curls still, in addition to wanting to clean out the freezer, so I'm making meals that use up at least some of my surplus and involve buying as little as possible. I was doing this last week too.

Vegan Fried Chicken and Nashville Hot Cauliflower Bites with Homemade Ranch Dip and Baked Beans and Cucumber Salad

Labor intensive, so I'll probably do this Wednesday while Sim is at yoga club. It'll use up some of my beans and soy curls though, as well as the cauliflower florets I didn't finish off last week and the non-fat yogurt in the fridge.

Tofu Pot Pie

Uses up the cubed tofu from the freezer. I don't think I need to buy anything to make this. Extra pie crust will be baked into flaky cookies and served with preserves from my Bonne Maman advent calendar.

Red Beans & Rice 

Because it uses up some of my red beans and a container worth of diced bell peppers from the freezer.

Vegetarian Lasagna

To finish off the spinach in my fridge and freezer and some of the lasagna noodles in my pantry. I'm going to make it with Beyond Meat since I haven't made that style of lasagna in a long time.

Spaghetti & Meatless Balls and Green Salad and Garlic Bread

Because the largest container taking up space in my freezer is holding meatless balls leftover from the last time I made them.

Meal Planning

Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread

Tonight because I can have it ready in the Instant Pot when we get home from voice lessons.

Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Whipped Sweet Potatoes

To finish off the sweet potatoes in the pantry.

Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

To finish off the russet potatoes in the pantry. I want to try including some flageolet beans or similar in the bourguinon, partly for the protein and partly just because I have so many interesting beans at the moment.

Seven-Layer Tortilla Pie

To finish off the flour tortillas in the fridge.

Veg Burgers and Nashville Hot Cauliflower Bites with Ranch Dip

To finish off the cauliflower from the bourguinon.

Garlicky Korean Mac 'n Cheese with Gochujang and Green Salad

To use up the roasted garlic in the fridge.

Meal Planning

I've got a new Rancho Gordo Bean box on its way soon, so I'm using lots of beans this week to cut down the stockpile I've already got.

Green Enchilada Lasagna (I Can Cook Vegan, pg. 192)

Because I didn't make it last week. Wednesday.

Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread

Thursday night.

Vegetable Barley Soup and Vegetarian Reubens

Tuesday because it'll be easy to have ready right after Sim's voice lesson.

French Onion Skillet Lasagna and Cucumber Salad

Because I have some mushrooms leftover from the veggie tacos last week. I'll make this today (Monday) because I didn't soak any beans last night.

Catalan Sauteed Polenta with Butter Beans

Friday night because it has cheese.

Zucchini Noodles with Haloumi and Pesto

A nice and easy Saturday night meal.

Meal Planning

 I can eat normally again. Here is what I'm making this week:

Vegan Malai Kofta and Cucumber Salad

Tonight. Because I cooked the chickpeas and haven't made this yet. It'll also use up the half can of coconut milk leftover from Tofu Paneer in Butter Sauce.

Vegan Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice

Green Enchilada Lasagna (I Can Cook Vegan, pg. 192)

Fresh Veggie Tacos

For a healthy but delicious Friday night dinner.

Veggie Burgers & Salad

For an easy Saturday night dinner.

Seven-Layer Tortilla Pie

Second Week Post-Surgery Meal Planning

It's the second week following my connective tissue graft, so some more soft foods. Here is what I'm making:

Spaghetti & Plant-Based Meatballs (Delish Loves Disney, pg. 13)

Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Peas

Tofu Paneer in Butter Chicken Sauce (Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Cookbook, pg. 66) with Basmati Rice

Vegan Malai Kofta

Vegan Breakfast Burritos

I might eat this deconstructed, but I can still have the potatoes and tofu.

Take-Away from Patel Bros

Maybe Friday I'll pick up some palak paneer and dal makhani from the hot to go section at Patel Bros and cook some rice and frozen naan at home.
