What We Ate Wednesday: Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week.
I am determined to get this week’s meals out on time. It is Monday as I start this post. Let’s see how I do!
Wednesday: Take Out
I have been tutoring like crazy lately which means I am out of the house pretty much every afternoon. On Wednesday I realized as I was walking out the door that I wouldn’t be home until close to 7 and I hadn’t made dinner yet. Oops! I had the babysitter make the kids PBJs and then when Ben and I were both home we ordered take out from Lost Dog! Not what I was planning on, but it worked out.
Thursday: Crispy Chickpea and Caper Spaghetti/Peach Salad
I had dinner club this night. The host did an iron chef challenge–include peaches! I decided on this salad and loved it! Will definitely make it again. For the rest of my family, I made my favorite vegan dinner of all time.
Friday: Mexican Street Corn Quinoa Salad and Quesadillas
This is definitely my new favorite recipe! Yu-um!!!!!
Saturday: Date Night
We ubered into the city with our friends the Funks! We had dinner at Zaytinya and then drinks at Poste. So fun to hang out with them with out our kids (they’re also our neighbors and we know them through our kids).
Sunday: Grilled Halloumi, Zucchini, Cherry Tomatoes, and Brown Rice
When Sam saw what we were having he said, “we’re having this again??” so maybe we need to branch out a little.
Monday: Lemon Pasta, Shrimp, and Roasted Cabbage
I made this pasta but kept the shrimp separate (Ben doesn’t eat it). I also made this cabbage which was really good!!
Tuesday: Fried Rice
This is a go-to easy meal. I just marinate extra firm tofu, cut into cubes, in soy sauce and then fry it up in a non-stick pan over medium high heat until it’s crisp on all sides. Then I fry a little cooked brown rice in a skillet with oil, add frozen veggies, and season with more soy sauce. I scramble and egg right in the pan (just scoot everything out of the way and then mix in once cooked).
