Menu planning (again, but this time all veggie lol)

One of the things I need to work on this year is being more consistent with planning meals and making a grocery list.

I am a sale shopper mostly, but that can (and does) get me over my food budget. Such and such is on sale, how can I NOT buy it? *crazy looks at boo* It is a sickness I am working on, really.

To that end, I have made a 2 week (dinner) meal plan for Pookie and I. I don't really have to mess with planning lunches as we eat leftovers for lunch most of the time. I do have to get fruit, and salad type stuff to accompany the leftovers or else his laptop lunch box looks very empty lol. Breakfasts here are also a pretty unplanned affair. I gravitate to scrambles (gm tofu, i<3u lol) and oatmeal with chia. Pookie likes toast and a banana and occasionally pancakes.

My dinner plans for the next 2 weeks:

Tonight : coconut curry rice from vegan on the cheap (VOTC)
Sun: Bhudda's delight from happy herbivore (HH)
M: quinoa white bean kale soup from appetite from reduction (A4R)
T: tvp tacos with charleston red rice (HH)
W: Portabello steak fajitas & salad (HH)
Th: leftovers
F: chorizo quinoa & spicy greens served over brown rice (HH)
S: Tamale casserole with leftover chorizo and spicy greens (HH)

Sun: leftovers
M: Caldo verde (VOTC)
T: Easy Dal ( from scrumdilly) & tamarind quinoa (A4R)
W: leftovers
Th: quinoa puttanesca (A4R)
F: chickpea piccata (A4R)
S: FFA - Free for all

I have also made up a shopping list and it looks like it will fall within my budget range easily. You can see I wasn't fibbing about wanting to try several recipes from the happy herbivore cook book!
