FOODS TO USE UP:
Eggs, kale, sprouts, sweet peppers, and some of my dry/canned/frozen foods in preparation for my move in April.
MEAL PLAN:
Saturday: Deconstructed sushi bowl with kale, brown rice, tofu, shredded carrots, cucumber, avocado, and nori seaweed with soy sauce and wasabi.
Sunday: Leftover Mexican sweet potato soup with baguette.
Monday: Lentil burgers with avocado served with sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. For the burgers I loosely followed this recipe, except I substituted roasted sunflower seeds for the walnuts, Dijon mustard for the dry mustard, and I left out the spinach. They turned out a bit mushy, but still tasty!
Tuesday: Egg and veggie scramble topped with sriracha with a side of buckwheat oat toast.
Wednesday: Out for sushi with Lauren.
Thursday: Leftover lentil burger on a freezer burnt multigrain bun from the depths of my freezer with a massaged kale salad.
Friday: Tofu and veggie stir fry over brown rice with a sunflower seed butter sauce.
GROCERY LIST: 4 sweet potatoes, 3 lb bag of onions, broccoli, 3-4 apples, 2 lb bag of carrots, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, frozen salmon fillets, loaf of bread, 1 kg bag of oats, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk.

What was your favourite dinner from the past week?
Looks like a yum week of eats to me...nice going, Chelsea :)! I especially love the sound of the stir fry & deconstructed sushi bowl...rolling is overrated haha! My favorite dinner from this past week is probably Monday's: pancakes made from chickpea flour topped with peanut butter, banana slices & strawberries! Brinner seems to becoming a regular fixture at home- can't say I mind ;)!
ReplyDeleteMmm you make me want to try and create lentil burgers :) i love lentils and think they sound pretty darn tasty! My fav dinner from the week would be joe's chili...i don't like many chilis at all but his is awesome :)
ReplyDeletei love your egg scramble. looks just like sometime i would make. like you said, we are foodie twins sometimes! :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to try those lentil burgers and that sweet potato soup! I think it is great that you have shown that meal planning can't always happen and breaks are good and healthy :D
ReplyDeleteI made lentil burgers this week too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I dug out some deliciously freezer-burnt cinnamon raisin English muffins from the back of my freezer this week...they've only been in there for ohhhh, about 6 months at LEAST! oops? ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I've never thought to add nori to my sushi salads! Hmm, another thing I've been holding onto for at least half a year! So you see, I REALLY need to get on this meal prep train! Lol
Favorite dinner from the past week: definitely my Sweet Potato Soup! I've got just one more serving left...I was going to freeze it, but it's just so good! Not sure if I can keep myself from gobbling it up today! :)
I like that "from the depths of my freezer" :) When I moved, I did my best to eat up all the hidden gems I had in my freezer. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy fav meal from the past week was probably the salmon and sweet potato and sprout combo from Sunday. Simple but delicious! :)
I'm intrigued by your lentil burgers - I've never made burgers with lentils before!
ReplyDeleteBest dinner from the past week? Mmm...probably the sushi salad I got Saturday night at Earls. That was fabulous.
SO many good eats! I am especially loving the sound of the lentil burgers and your veggie and egg scramble looks amazing! Breakfast for dinner is the best :).
ReplyDeletethe lentil burger dinner looks to die for!
ReplyDeleteI've been off track from meal planning too, I need to reset! My favorite meal from the last week was a mushroom and rainbow chard risotto I made with my sister when she came into town. So delicious!
ReplyDeleteIn your Mexican sweet potato chili can you taste the sweet potato? Weird question but I have always been curious haha.
ReplyDeleteyour seaweed salad sounds delicious! I love anything involving nori!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite dinner was the chicken parmesan I had over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe deconstructed sushi bowl is great! I have actually tried make sushi before, major fail, so this would be much easier :) I could go for a soup like the chili you have there... might be happening this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMeal planning is great. I hope you do some more posts, even if they aren't a regular feature :) And that deconstructed sushi bowl sounds awesome. I love deconstructed meals. Haha.
ReplyDeleteStir fries with sunbutter sauce are seriously one of the best dinners ever. Do you add any soy sauce to yours? I find the salty addition kind of to die for.
ReplyDeleteAs for the best dinner that I've had all week, I'm going to have to go with my mom's slow cooker stew. After being away from home for a week and a half, there's nothing quite like a homecooked meal.
MMMMM nothin like freezer burnt bread!! lololol I'm trying to eat down my stash of frozen/canned food too since I'm also moving in April....but some of it I'd honestly rather throw away haha. I love your meal planning posts though, and I love seeing what you eat through the week - you're always so creative with food!And that buckwheat oat toast...omg I miss bread with gluten in it gaaahhh lol
ReplyDeleteI adore deconstructed sushi bowls! It is just as good as the rolls with less prep work.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get on top of the "foods to use up" category. Looking quickly or assuming what I have leftover in the fridge is so not helpful! lol
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing of these "sushi bowls" everywhere- I must try them!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so happy the meal planning posts are back! You inspire me to be more organized and money savvy when I go to the grocery store. :)
ReplyDeleteThe deconstructed sushi salad sounds like something I'd love, especially because I'm one of those crazy people who picks their sushi rolls apart. I often have a hard time getting the entire piece into my mouth, so I like to cut it into two pieces. ;) Of course, I only do this when I'm eating alone (or with people I know really well); when I'm not, I usually opt for sashimi, to avoid any embarrassing situations!
My favorite dinner from this week was tonight's! It was my first real meal for quite some time (stomach issues), so even though it wouldn't typically be special, it tasted extra delicious. I made an egg scramble with mushrooms, spinach and cheddar, and served it alongside GF cinnamon toast. So good!
yum! I really like the idea of the deconstructed sushi bowl, I am going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteI'm also trying really hard to work on the meal planning thing, "im impressed with your results.
