Meal Planning

There is way too much food in my freezer, so I'm going to try to pare things down a bit in there this week.

Spaghetti & Veggie Meatballs and Green Salad
This will use up both some noodles from the pantry, a marinara sauce from the cupboard, and a bag of vegetarian meatballs in the freezer from Trader Joe's.

Vegan Pad Thai
I have some whole grain pad Thai noodles I'd like to use up.

Rajma and Dum Aloo and Basmati Rice and Indian Chopped Salad 
The dum aloo will use up some of the potatoes in my pantry and the peas in my freezer.  The rajma is just something I haven't had in ages that people are eating in the book I'm reading and I want it now.

Tofu Banh Mi
I bought some baked sriracha tofu at Trader Joe's and have no idea what to do with it, so I'm skipping the marinating and searing and side of sriracha and using that baked sriracha tofu, the pickled veg (made a day in advance), and (maybe sriracha) mayo.  I'll make fresh baguettes.

Garden Pretzel Sandwiches

Mexican Omelet (a la NYC's French Roast bistro) and Hash Browns (a la McDonald's, from my freezer by way of Trader Joe's)
The Mexican omelet has guacamole, tomatoes, and gruyere folded into fluffy eggs.  French Roast serves it with home fries and toast, but I'm going with what I've got.
