Meal Plan: Week of November 10, 2019

What to make this weekend to get ready for the week

• Clean those Veggies!
• Cook that Rice!
• Make Bon Appetit’s Shoyu Romen
• Make a batch of overnight oats & pack up in to-go containers
• Do some stretching before bed

Monday, November 10th

Living that leftover life for Monday’s lunch with a kale salad & the grilled chicken from last week (waste not want not!). And then for dinner, we’ll use some Yuzu Kosho to make a citrus-y sauce for salmon served with broccolini (broccoli’s hip, younger cousin)

• Breakfast: Ricotta Toast w/ Chopped Dates
• Lunch: Kale Salad w/ Grilled Chicken
• Dinner: Salmon w/ Yuzu Kosho Sauce & Broccolini

Tuesday, November 11th

We just subscribed to Bon Appetit (it comes in the mail!) and one of the non-Thanksgiving recipes they have is a White Pesto Pasta. We had all the ingredients already, and it looks pretty easy – perfect for dinner on Tuesday. Also, I guess anything can be a pesto if you just food process the heck out of it? What are the rules here?

• Breakfast: Classic Berry Smoothie
• Lunch: Salmon & Brocolini Rice Bowls
• Dinner: White Pesto Pasta w/ Rigatoni

Wednesday, November 12th

For Wednesday’s dinner, doing another Bon Appetit recipe that we’ve seen mentioned many times by the Bon App food editors. It’s a part of their Desk Lunch Series – so we’re being quite subversive by having it for dinner.

• Breakfast: Overnight Oats w/ Cashew Butter & Frozen Peaches
• Lunch: Leftover White Pesto Pasta
• Dinner: Marinated Lentils w/ Broccolini & Feta w/ Sourdough Toast

Thursday, November 13th

First night in Kyoto, it’s raining, and after seeing some temples, blood sugar is running dangerously low. We didn’t plan out a dinner spot, instead relying on divine providence to provide us with the perfect evening respite (this never works). Turns out there is a god and we were able to duck into a smoky little bar (5th try) that served some banging Okonomiyaki. It ended up being one of our favorite meals.

• Breakfast: Avocado Toast
• Lunch: Kale Salad w/ Leftover Lentils & Feta
• Dinner: Okonomiyaki w/ any veggies left in the fridge

Friday, November 14th

You know the drill, we’re eating whatever leftovers are in the fridge and pouring ourselves a drink, it’s the weekend! For those of you who want to cook something, check out other ideas here.

• Breakfast: Overnight Oats w/ Peanut Butter & Cocoa Nibs
• Lunch: Family Lunch at work
• Dinner: Leftovers from the week
