bump!

What's on your meal-planning agendas, mamas? Here's our plan.

10/27 - Black Bean Soup, Marinated Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli (SOOOO good!)

10/28 - Sesame Stuffed Spaghetti Squash, Soy Glazed Tofu, more marinated sweet potatoes and broccoli

10/29 - Chickpea & Vegetable Curry over Jasmine Rice

10/30 - Potato & Artichoke Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms + Lentil-Pecan Country Style Pate with veggies/crackers

10/31 - Rosemary Fingerling Potatoes w/ Caramalized Shallots and Crispy Tofu w/ Sizzling Capers

11/1 - Buttercup Squash Stuffed with Pistachio-Apricot Rice, leftover Pate

That's what I've got so far!

The week of Halloween is when we do our "Ancestor Feast" dinners.

To remember my late father-in-law (and that whole side of my husband's family), we make tamales every year. This year was butternut squash and carmelized onion.

For my paternal grandparents, we made vegan lasanga, and had soy ice cream with my dad's secret caramel-chocolate hot fudge.

Last night, we made my dad's favorite dinner, shepherd's pie (veganized, of course, made with a lentil-nut-rice mixture in place of the meat), and my grandmother's favorite oatmeal-raisin cookies for dessert.

Tonight, we are having what I laughingly call "Dinner-shaped-dinner" : Lentil loaf, baked potatoes, and broccoli, for my husband's maternal-side grandfather. Probably something with apples for dessert.

Tomorrow, we'll have all the leftovers.

I just worked out next week's plan and did my shopping. Here's what it looks like:

10/30 - Mujadarrah, piled on baby spinach.

10/31 - Pita bread, homemade hummus, checca (the chickpeas for the hummus are in the crockpot right now, and checca is sort of an Italian salsa, with tomato, onion, garlic, and fresh, homegrown basil).

11/1 - Black bean soup with avocado and homegrown peppers.

11/2 - Roasted sweet potatoes, tossed with cranberries, pumpkin seeds, black beans, and spinach. (I totally stole this from a side dish I saw at the WHole Foods deli - theirs used Butternut Squash, cranberries, and spinach, and I'm adding seeds and beans to make it a meal.)

11/3 - Spaghetti and Tofu Balls, salad.

11/4 - Baked Potato Soup w/ Greens (V'con) and Carrot Raisin Muffins (Vegan w/ a Vengeance)

11/5 - Couscous w/ raisins and pumpkin seeds; Lemon Herb Tofu (Viv le Vegan), baby spinach

11/6 - Brushetta and vegetable soup (homemade stock and whatever fresh veggies are left). Or Mujadarrah again, if nothing's left!
