Meal Planning

I have way too many beans and soy curls still, in addition to wanting to clean out the freezer, so I'm making meals that use up at least some of my surplus and involve buying as little as possible. I was doing this last week too.


Vegan Fried Chicken and Nashville Hot Cauliflower Bites with Homemade Ranch Dip and Baked Beans and Cucumber Salad

Labor intensive, so I'll probably do this Wednesday while Sim is at yoga club. It'll use up some of my beans and soy curls though, as well as the cauliflower florets I didn't finish off last week and the non-fat yogurt in the fridge.


Tofu Pot Pie

Uses up the cubed tofu from the freezer. I don't think I need to buy anything to make this. Extra pie crust will be baked into flaky cookies and served with preserves from my Bonne Maman advent calendar.


Red Beans & Rice 

Because it uses up some of my red beans and a container worth of diced bell peppers from the freezer.


Vegetarian Lasagna

To finish off the spinach in my fridge and freezer and some of the lasagna noodles in my pantry. I'm going to make it with Beyond Meat since I haven't made that style of lasagna in a long time.


Spaghetti & Meatless Balls and Green Salad and Garlic Bread

Because the largest container taking up space in my freezer is holding meatless balls leftover from the last time I made them.

Meal Planning

Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread

Tonight because I can have it ready in the Instant Pot when we get home from voice lessons.


Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf and Whipped Sweet Potatoes

To finish off the sweet potatoes in the pantry.


Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

To finish off the russet potatoes in the pantry. I want to try including some flageolet beans or similar in the bourguinon, partly for the protein and partly just because I have so many interesting beans at the moment.


Seven-Layer Tortilla Pie

To finish off the flour tortillas in the fridge.


Veg Burgers and Nashville Hot Cauliflower Bites with Ranch Dip

To finish off the cauliflower from the bourguinon.


Garlicky Korean Mac 'n Cheese with Gochujang and Green Salad

To use up the roasted garlic in the fridge.
