Meal Planning

The snowstorm happened, including one day of warm temperatures that left the enormous amount of snow dense and slushy and almost impossible to plow, followed by colder temps and new fluffy snow that was easy to plow but then just blew wherever it wanted to go. Then we had intense sub-zero temperatures with windchills hovering around -30. Between the long holiday weekend and e-learning days on account of the weather, Simran ended up being at home for five days in a row. The oven broke, but an appliance repair person came by yesterday and fixed it. Here is what I need to use up: frozen homemade meatless balls, frozen homemade black bean burgers x2, fresh cremini mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, fresh green bell pepper, frozen green and red bell peppers sliced and diced, a pizza dough Sameer and Simran made before we discovered the oven wasn't working, two zucchinis, and lettuce. We had leftovers for like three days of the long weekend because we had so much extra food, so I've still got some dishes to make from last week's meal plan. Sameer is going out of town for work next week, so three dinners will just be Sim and me. Here is what I'm making:


Pasta Primavera with Soy Curls & Alfredo Sauce

Tonight. Will use up the open cream cheese in the fridge along with some, if not all, of the heavy cream and half-and-half that is still in the fridge from Christmas. It'll also use up part of the green bell pepper and one zucchini. 


Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Sweet Potatoes and Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

Tomorrow. Carry over from last week. Still haven't made it. Still have all the ingredients.


Homemade Pizza and Green Salad

Friday night, from the pizza dough Sameer and Simran already made. Pizza will use up the rest of the fresh green bell pepper.


Plant-Based Spaghetti and Meatballs and Mushrooms and Garlic Spinach

I put some of the meatballs in the freezer after I made them this past week. It's not enough for all three of us, so I'll make this for Sim and me while Sameer is out of town for work.


Black Bean Burgers

Because there are only two left in the freezer, I'll make this when Sameer is out of town for work.


Red Beans & Rice 


Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans
