Meal Planning

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado-Cashew Alfredo (How Not to Die Cookbook, pg. 105) and Super Salad with Garlic Caesar Dressing & Hemp Hearts (HNTD Cookbook, pg. 83)
Since this meal is mostly vegetables, I think I'll make some garlic bread or something to go with it so we aren't all starving after dinner.

Veggie Dogs and Vegetable Sides
I figure I can get some of the Beyond Meat veggie dogs from the freezer section at Whole Foods, and Sim likes the Field Roast ones that I already have on hand.  I will also heat up some veg baked beans and maybe steam some asparagus to make Pan-Steamed Asparagus with Lemon-Caper MayonnaiseMaybe add a salad, especially if the one I'm making tonight turns out well.  This is an easy Wednesday dinner.  

I don't even think I'll plan Tuesday and Thursday.  I'll just do easy sandwiches or chik'n tenders and soup or veggie sides like I've been doing.  We have company coming Friday and we're going out, so I'll plan beyond that later.

Meal Planning

Meatless Ball Subs and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
I'm making this today because I have a whole mess of chopped onions in the fridge to make the soup and all the other ingredients are on hand.  I'm making subs because I have two brioche buns to use up (Sameer is fasting today, so that's enough for Sim and me), as well as marinara in the pantry, cheese in the fridge, and meatless balls in the freezer.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Wild Mushroom Saute and Gardein Turkey Cutlets

Veggie Dogs and Vegetable Sides
This will be Wednesday because I have good veggie dogs with an expiration date of Thursday.

Meal Planning

Veggie Fajitas and Black Beans and Mexican Rice
I'm making this today (with boxed yellow rice and a can of black beans) to use up the zucchini and yellow squash leftover from last week's penne alla vodka.  I also have sliced red bell pepper in the freezer and red onion in the pantry, as well as lettuce in the fridge.  I pretty much only had to buy appropriately sized tortillas, tomatoes, and the ingredients for guacamole (the storemade guacamole looked unappealing).

Tofu Scramble Breakfast Mess and leftover Pancakes
I need to post what went into this tofu scramble.  I made it a couple weeks ago based on what I remember of a breakfast skillet dish my mother made us on a Girl Scout overnight trip when I was little.  Her version had egg, cheese, hashbrown potatoes, all the breakfast meats, and I think onion and green bell pepper.  My version is a tofu scramble in place of the eggs, sweet onion, bell pepper (using red this time to get it out of my freezer), hashbrown potatoes, and veggie sausage.  I'll try to remember if there was anything else in it.  It turned out surprisingly well last time.
