I hope you had a nice holiday if you celebrated this week!  I really liked the menu I put together for our break fast on Yom Kippur.  I also made my challah recipe into rolls (1 recipe made 9 rolls) and I made Jake Cohen’s “Perfect Challah” which was a beautiful color because it called for honey + sugar, but it was way too sweet and not salty enough.  In case you’re always looking for the perfect challah recipe.  I think mine is pretty pretty good!  For dinner, in addition to some traditional deli stuff, I made spanakopita, sweet noodle kugel, vegan lasagna, mejadra, roasted vegetable salad, farro with roasted tomato vinaigrette, and olive bar chickpea salad from QTQ.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Butternut squash and chickpea stew

Tuesday: Turkey bolognese spaghetti squash casserole, fresh green salad with everyday salad dressing #1

Wednesday: Roasted cabbage wedges, 7-minute salmon, grilled zucchini or eggplant with romesco sauce

Thursday: Everyday turmeric chicken with a side of cauliflower rice, method here, and your favorite roasted veggies.

Friday: chipotle brussels sprouts, baked pinto bean tostadas p. 277 from QTQ

Saturday brunch: Chickpea “Tuna” Salad in lettuce cups

Sunday: vegan mac n cheese to which I am going to add steamed cauliflower and bake it all together.

 

Here’s what you can do in advance if it helps you:

Sunday:
