Meal Planning

I'm trying to put a bit more effort into this week's meal planning than I have in awhile.  I took inventory of my fridge and pantry, and I have a whole mess of flour tortillas, some whole wheat hamburger buns, and three pounds of potatoes to use.  I'd like to find an easy, tasty, protein-rich dish I can make in place of the meat eater's typical chicken and set alongside some random vegetables.  I'm currently looking to make a delicious sort of white bean dish, creamy and maybe garnished with cilantro.

Veggie Burgers and Green Salad

Pav Bhaji

Veggie Dogs and Vegetarian Baked Beans and Steamed Broccoli

Herbed White Bean Mash and Arugula Salad and Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad
The herbed white bean mash is something I'm making up.  It's essentially refried white beans with a European flavor.  I'm going to figure out the herbs as I go based on what smells appropriate, but I'm thinking some combination of thyme, basil, bay leaves, marjoram, sage, savory, tarragon, and parsley.  I'm going to cook the white beans in the slow cooker with shallots, garlic, and after I mash them add maybe two tablespoons of butter and the juice of one lemon.
