I’ve been thinking about my menu for the current week for days now. I’m feeling like I’m stuck in a rut–eating the same foods week after week. I want to expand our diets but don’t know where to begin. I need suggestions for tried and true vegetarian dishes that are yummy, fairly easy/quick to assemble, and that don’t utilize many fancy or exotic ingredients. Can you help?
Breakfast
Oatmeal with Maple Syrup, Cinnamon, and Fresh Fruit
Lunch/Dinner
Pasta with Broccoli and Marinara Sauce
Rice and Bean Burritos
Quinoa with Sauteed Veggies
Chickpea Tacos
Homemade Pizza
ALTs
At this point, I know I’m short on meals for the week, but I’m just at a loss for what else to make. Ugh. This meal planning thing is tough.

Agedashi tofu with tempura-fried veggies, maybe? I don’t know how you feel about tofu, but I didn’t see it on your list and fried is pretty much the only way I can stomach tofu.
Ooh, but actually, while I’m thinking Asian, a friend of mine linked me to a recipe for gamja jorim (Korean potatoes):

I haven’t tried this particular recipe, but they’d be a fabulous starch for a meal – they taste great!
This is really basic, but really good. We do the mac n cheese with chick peas from “Deceptively Delicious” and do some sauteed broccoli (onions, garlic, oil) on the side. Yum. And I didn’t even used to like mac n cheese. If you want the recipe, I can email it to ya.
Sam-Tofu gives me the wig, but thanks for the idea!
Erin-Recipe, please!!!
Hey! sorry I’m a dope and forgot to check back. But I see you have a deceptively delicious recipe this week. did you get the cookbook?
