Meal Planning

We're still eating vegan on weekdays.  It's going well so far.

Vegetarian Turkey Club and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

Veggie Burgers
I have Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain buns and both Buffalo Chik'n patties by Morningstar and poblano black bean burgers by Engine 2 in the freezer.  I'll just get lots of fixins (tomato, lettuce, red onion, guacamole) and have these with crudites or salad of some nature.  I discovered Whole Foods makes a small line of no oil added salad dressings that they keep in their refrigerated section.  The sesame ginger one is heavy on the tahini (to get around the "no oil" bit) and really good.  It's the only one I've tried so far.  

Veggie Summer Rolls with Spicy Peanut Lime Sauce
These take forever to cut everything julienne and assemble, but they're really good and even Simran enjoyed them (mostly the raw tofu, but whatever).  I almost didn't find the rice paper wrappers at Whole Foods, but they had just replaced the ones I bought before with brown rice wrappers.  Tastes the same.

Veggie Dogs and Pasta Salad and Crudites
I just have to make a point of using vegan vinaigrette on the pasta salad.  Not hard to do.

Meal Planning

I haven't made the tacos or Pasta alla Anthony recently, despite having them on the meal plan and having most of the ingredients on hand, so I'm doing them this week.  Sameer and I have agreed to a new challenge in which we eat completely vegan on weekdays (which, for my purposes, will translate to Sunday dinner through Friday lunch).  We eat enough vegan meals already that this isn't terribly hard unless we were planning on going out somewhere (which we mostly do on weekends anyway and could stand to do less).

Pasta alla Anthony and Green Salad and Leftover Soup
I'll make the pasta minus the parmesan cheese for the purpose of keeping it vegan.
