I've also started planning my meals around all the foods in my fridge and freezer that I have to use up before I move - there's a lot in there! I made a good dent this week though. Here's what was on my meal plan:
FOODS TO USE UP: Cilantro, frozen beef stock, frozen tortillas, frozen spinach, and frozen homemade Irish soda bread
MEAL PLAN:
Saturday: Tofu stir fry with Sunbutter sauce over brown rice. This is one of my favourite meals so I like putting it on my meal plan at least every few weeks!
Sunday: Sushi with Andrea and Shannon. I got a wakame salad, California roll and salmon roll. Nothing out of the usual for me.
Monday: Homemade beef and quinoa soup with Irish soda bread (from my freezer) on the side. I started out following a recipe for the soup, but I ended up just winging it. It turned out great though!
Tuesday: Soft shell tacos with ground turkey cooked with taco seasoning, homemade guacamole, homemade pico de gallo, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and plain Greek yogurt. Messy to eat - I'm pretty sure half of the fillings fell out onto my plate - but so good.
Wednesday: Taco salad with all the leftover toppings on romaine lettuce. This left me stuffed because of all the protein and healthy fats in this meal. Also, it was a pretty big portion - that bowl is actually a serving bowl!
Thursday: Glory Bowl, which is originally a recipe from the Whitewater Ski Resort in British Columbia. Apparently they had such great dishes there that their customers begged them to make a cookbook, so they released Whitewater Cooks. I wish more restaurants would do that!
Friday: Leftover taco salad
GROCERY LIST: Bananas, apples, berries, sweet peppers, onions, celery, tomatoes, avocado, romaine lettuce, beets, white potatoes, cheddar cheese, stewing beef, ground turkey, taco seasoning, oats, nutritional yeast, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla Greek yogurt

What meal do you eat over and over again?
If you could have a cookbook from any restaurant, which restaurant would it be?
