Meal Planning

I made so many bean/vegetable stew type dinners this week. Time to write out what else I'm planning, starting today, Friday. I'm still cleaning out the fridge/freezer/pantry, and next week we'll have some colder autumnal weather. Here is what I'm making:

Autumn Cassoulet and Cheese Herb Rolls and Kale with Lemon Vinaigrette and Grey Stuff Pudding

Tonight, because I still have some ingredients to make the cassoulet again and I already bought more royal trumpet mushrooms. I already have kale and vinaigrette in the fridge. This will also finally finish off all the potatoes of every variety in my house, which is a great achievement. I bought the ingredients to make the grey stuff dessert from Delish Loves Disney at least a week ago, so I want to make that this weekend.

Ravioli with Arugula and Pecorino

Because it's easy, quick, good, and I noticed I still have cheese ravioli in my freezer. Low effort Saturday night dinner.

Vegan Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice

Sunday night I think because I didn't make it this past week. I will throw my cauliflower in here rather than make it into something else. Then I'll just have one half-bag of soy curls left to use up.

Lasagna

Because I have some no-boil lasagna noodles taking up space in the pantry. I think I have some frozen spinach I can throw into this. And any tomato products in the fridge that are still good can become sauce.

Tofu Pot Pie

There is cubed tofu in my freezer this could use up, plus lots of random vegetables.

Chilaquiles Casserole

I'd like to make Vegetable Barley Soup and some kind of sandwiches another night, but I think I'll take inventory and figure all that out after I've made some of these meals.

[Edited 10/22/2025: So far I've made the cassoulet and rolls, vegan beef & broccoli, soup and sandwiches, and ravioli. One shallot and another small container of arugula would be enough to make the ravioli again. I could make the vegan beef & broccoli one more time with the ingredients I have on hand, and my stockpile of soy curls will finally be used up. One more container of mushrooms and I could make cassoulet and rolls again, since I had to buy more sweet potatoes anyway for making groatnola. Next week might largely be a repeat of this week. I'm making chilaquiles tonight, prepping lasagna for tomorrow, and doing tofu pot pie Friday night, at which point I'll still have one container of tofu cubes and one of diced red bell pepper in my freezer. Haven't decided what we'll do Saturday night yet. Maybe some kind of tacos or enchiladas to use up the tortillas in the fridge. Seven Layer Tortilla Pie maybe.]
