I'm so tired of meal planning that I put it off this weekend, so I've had to plan/go to the store each day this week!
I'm out of ideas for tonight!
So far this week we've had cauliflower & kale soup, pasta with pesto and chicken, and fish tacos.
What are you having tonight? (Or any other night!)
bonus points if its vegan, or at least dairy free!

chopped kale salad with bell pepper, carrots, avocado and a lemon mustard dressing. we also have some leftover tomato soup from a pioneer woman recipe, although that has half and half in it.
i also made this broccoli pesto recently, which is vegan:

i roasted the broccoli first and added parmesan.

@edelweiss: I was thinking about finding a dairy-free tomato soup recipe for tomorrow night + tuna melts....
that salad sounds good!
I'm off the dairy to try and fix the babe's poops. Meat is just because we're cheap, and don't usually eat it more than once or twice a week.

DH is making pho ga (Vietnamese chicken noodle soup) tonight because I've been craving it. Can't wait! We could just get it from the local restaurant but this way I get the leftovers.

We are doing BBQ chicken, roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and baby carrots. I need to get started on marinating the chicken but I'm having a lazy morning

@MapleMoose: MMMMMM I love homemade pho. I've been hoarding bones for once the weather cools off!
Steamed whole fish (heads and all) it's called "dragon fish" in Chinese. DH is making risotto again bc LO loves it. And also make a sauté Chinese squash

@char54: the corn has been so tasty here- love this time of year & all the fresh veggies!
@MapleMoose: that sounds great. I would typically do some kind of stir fry, but haven't mastered complicated dishes + parenting a 5 month old yet. Maybe take out is the direction to head in

@locavore_mama: We're in a little heat wave right now but these cravings don't care. I want soup now!! lol
@Silva: Gotcha. Take out is mighty delish!

My mom and sister are coming over for a girls movie night! We're having rotisserie chicken, potato wedges, grapes and then apples with caramel and popcorn during the movie

One pan pasta is my new favorite time-crunched weeknight dinner - it is SO easy and really delicious with minimal clean up. You can also add extra veggies or substitute whole wheat pasta. It is vegan and dairy free (without Parmesan) too !

@Silva: how is the non-dairy diet going? any effect on LO's poop? we've cut back on meat as well (i blame it on reading food, inc. and omnivore's dilemma, and not being able to afford farmers market meat every week). any favorite places you like to go to for vegetarian recipes?

Tonight, we're having grilled chicken breast with a maple Dijon sauce. Very similar to the "man pleasing chicken" recipe. We're roasting some baby red potatoes, and tossing a small green salad for sides.
One of my favorite vegan dishes in our rotation is a pan fried seitan with broccolini and a clemetine soy sauce.

@edelweiss: she was pooping 5 times a day, and now it's more like two. I think it's gettin less mucousy.... I messed up a couple times, so although I've been trying for a month, it will only be two weeks without ANY on Saturday. We were noticing some blood specks and those have stopped.
We have a vacationing Maine coming up and I'm dreading having to avoid it there...no seafood in butter 
We cook with a lot of beans and lentils. Try to do a salad meal once a week. I look at smitten kitchen and joy the baker, but they aren't vegetarian specific

@CakeLady: I love this recipe!! Can't wait to try it!! Love that it doesn't involve boiling the pasta, drain, return to pan... I hate doing that because my sink is usually full of dirty dishes and it's another step to empty the sink before draining the pasta. And emptying the sink usually means emptying the dishwasher too...
I do not belong in this thread! We're getting Domino's tonight. $7.99 for a 3 topping large. We usually get it once a week but we haven't in a long time!

I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking some sort of breaded chicken with pasta. Maybe with a lemon cream sauce, maybe a red sauce, I haven't decided yet.

Dinner is still 6 hours away. We are going to my brothers fiancés, parents house tonight for an advice dinner before the wedding tomorrow. I hope they have bread rolls!

Ah no idea. 3 times this week DH has left me with a vehicle empty on gas (that he drove the day before!!!!!) so I'm going to tell him he is in charge of dinner

I have no freaking clue. I am taking P to a volleyball game after work and then the Pats are on tonight...I think I will grab a rotisserie chicken at the store, plus chips and dip for the game. I am not up for cooking and cleaning the kitchen tonight!

@mrs. wagon: This would totally be what we would be getting tonight, too but we already had a night this week where we ordered pizza. haha. DH is eating really healthy on purpose and would be PISSED if I brought this home twice in a week.

Pregnancy has made me bad at cooking. We had hot ham and cheese last night. Probably sandwiches again tonight.

I just got my CSA bag and there is bison sausage in it - don't know what I'm going to do with it, but something awesome!

Ugh, I don't know....we're banned from making anything too fragrant due to a house showing tomorrow (the owners are trying to sell the house and some of the feedback from previous showing was "smells like people were cooking in here"...well duh, because people live here!).
So I have zero ideas. Sandwiches??
