    Wednesday: Veggie pot pie
    Thursday: Greek salad and falafel
    Friday: Tempeh buddha bowls
    Saturday: pizzas and buffalo cauliflower or maybe out to eat 
  • @westphilly Falafel club! We make ours out of a box...do you do it from scratch?? 
  • @morgantu Yes, I make a huge batch from scratch and freeze them (I make big portions of lots of stuff and keep a big freezer stash). I like to do half chickpeas and half pureed veggies. I steam a huge pot of veggies and mix with chickpeas using the immersion blender. Mix with shredded cheese and flour and 1-2 eggs. Roll in flour and freeze. Then, fry them in oil that covers them about halfway until they are crispy golden brown. 
  • Monday: Leftover (mix of fish stew from Sunday and bison shepard's pie from Saturday)
    Tuesday: Red lentil soup and a roasted butternut squash salad
    Wednesday: Pork green chili 
    Thursday: Tofu and green bean red curry
    Friday: Grilled salmon and asparagus

  • @kindbytealikat Tell me more about those Asian turkey lettuce wraps!
  • @laufisch how do you cook your zucchini noodles? Every time i try to make them they make the whole dish super watery and mess up my sauce. Any tips? 
  • @legallykate- I had to google Snap Kitchen, I'd never heard of it but OMG the food looks delicious! I hope you enjoy!
    @laufisch - I'm so curious about the Instant Pot, how long have you been using yours? I've only heard good things so I'm leaning toward getting one. Or asking Santa for one ;)
    @lalala2004 - Enjoy Star Wars!

    We've been in a bit of a food rut lately, so I'm loving the ideas on this thread!

    Monday - Leftovers from the weekend (baked chicken and veggies and meatballs in marinara)
    Tuesday - Kielbasa and sauerkraut
    Wednesday - Chicken and black bean burrito bowls
    Thursday - Salmon with rice and veggies
    Friday - Leftovers again to clear out the fridge in prep for our Christmas party on Saturday!

    I also had (past tense) an Instant Pot. I was really getting into it and it just conked out on me one day (which is unusual). I'm working on getting a replacement, though! I would love to make that tikka masala recipe that @laufisch posted! I made some awesome soups and chilis in it.

  • @vinerie - I swear when Fall / Winter rolls around our weekends revolve around soups and chilis! So happy to hear from another person that loved theirs! I hope you get your replacement soon!

  • @mrsbubbles-2 Not going to lie I'm kind of underwhelmed by my InstaPot. I really want to love it as much as my friends but I just don't. Now there are some things I love in the insta pot. For instance the perfect hardboiled egg every single time, and it can be good for cooking a quick soup. However I don't like the way pasta turns out and I've tried a number of way. Plus the time it take to pressurize doesn't cut down cook time for me at all. I perfer my slow cooker for most things TBH
