Vegan Butter Tofu Paneer with Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan
I haven't made this yet, so I'm doing it tonight.
DIY Sandwiches and Soup

Macaroni with Vegan Cheese Sauce and  Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

Spaghetti & Meatless Balls and Tahini Green Beans (No Meat Athlete, pg 158)

Nut-Crusted Tofu (NMA, pg 111) and Provencal Potato Gratin (NMA, pg 184) and leftover soup
The nut crust didn't hold onto the tofu very well, but it's very tasty and I liked it.  I think I might've used too much lemon juice compared with the Dijon, just because it didn't seem like a thick enough mixture.  I didn't actually measure what I was doing.  Yet another delicious recipe from this cookbook, and Simran ate it without complaint, though I think she was trying to remove the crust to eat the tofu plain.

Nut-Crusted Tofu (No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg 111) and Wild Rice and Broiled Asparagus & Artichokes with Vermouth Brown Butter
Still haven't made this yet, but finally bought the pistachios so that I can.

Pizza Night
Doing personal pizzas again with whole wheat crust.  Green salad too.

Pinto Bean & Greens Enchilada Casserole (No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg 97)

Simplified Spinach-Mushroom Lasagna (No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg 87)
I'm mostly making this to use up some of the whole wheat no boil lasagna noodles in my pantry.

Meal Planning

DIY Sandwiches and Leftover Soup
I have a container of the pumpkin curry soup in the fridge, as well as whole grain wraps and a loaf of pumpernickel bread.

Nut-Crusted Tofu (No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg 111) and Wild Rice and Broiled Asparagus & Artichokes with Vermouth Brown Butter
I didn't end up making the nut-crusted tofu last week, so it's carry over from then.  I still have all the ingredients on hand.

Mac 'n Cheese with Vegan Cheese Sauce and  Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
The vegan mac 'n cheese has become a comfort food I really love, especially with pickled jalapenos.  It's creamy and spicy and tangy, which is my favorite combination.

Pizza Night
Doing personal pizzas again with whole wheat crust.  Green salad too.

Corn on the Cob and Smoky Potato Salad over Greens and Jerk Kidney Beans (No Meat Athlete, pg 90)

I found a container of milder chile-garlic paste in the fridge yesterday, so I'm using it up now.

This is not going to be a dinner, but I like having containers of it in the freezer when I need a healthy lunch or feel a cold coming on.  It will use up the remaining cabbage from the chilli-garlic noodles.
