I'm giving up on Meatless Monday.
While I LOVE the idea of meatless once a week, not to mention some catchy alliteration, a specific day was too confining. I ended up freezing fresh stuff, extending leftovers and perishing perishables.
So instead, we shall have #MeatlessOneDay and #LeftoversRoulette when needed. More flexibility, fewer biology experiments, and maybe some new hashtags along the way. Here's what's cooking this week.
Bonus Sunday
Did I mention I have missed my oven? Roast chicken, baked sweet potato fries (minus the peachy catsup) and a small batch of stuffing (a half package of bacon instead of Portuguese sausage, and 1/4 of an Asiago cheese bread loaf that was on the verge of going very badly). Small in this case means a very full 9" x 9" pan for three people. I'm practicing for Thanksgiving.
Not Meatless Monday
Orange Salsa Pork Chops (fresh pork chops), Chinese Chicken-less Salad (enough for the whole week and keeps well), Jasmine rice.

Sabih--All-in-one sandwich + salad #MeatlessOneDay is Tuesday
Sabih from the Jerusalem cookbook. Think of it as an open-faced sandwich and salad at the same time. Plus hummus and fresh pita from the Falafel Stop. This is becoming a habit, but their fresh (warm) pitas are simply ono.
Wednesday
Chicken Chili Verde (from a salsa container), kinda homemade tortillas and guacamole. Braised kabocha for balance.
#LeftoversRoulette Thursday
Chicken Divan, with the leftover chicken meat from Sunday. Waste not.
Friday
Korean Chicken Soup, with kim chee on the side. Cold weather likes spicy soups.
Find your #MeatlessOneDay. What's your go-to no meat dinner? Have a good week all!
