What we're eating: a vegetarian dinner plan

I'll be honest, I haven't been meal planning in a long time. I'm in the mode of "let's buy a lot of veggies and see what I can make" kind of mood. But I decided to take the bull by the horns and get back into it... at least for this week. So here's what I'm eating for dinner this week.

Monday: Swiss Chard with Chickpeas & Couscous. I had some leftover spinach and kale so I sautéed that up instead of the swiss chard. I also love roasting cherry tomatoes with shallots to go with this. It adds a bit of extra flavour. Also, I didn't have pine nuts so I toasted pumpkin seeds and it was delish.

Double Broccoli Pesto Quinoa

This is a great recipe if you have lots of broccoli to use up (or if you're like me and you keep getting broccoli in your veggie box and want to use it in a different way...). I've made it several times before and I really like it. It's not one of Mark's favourites because he says there's too much garlic, but I just put two cloves and it's still yummy.

Making this tonight with roasted cherry tomatoes!

Spice-Rubbed Fish with Lemony Rice

I know you're not eating fish right now but I made this tonight and it was pretty good! I used quinoa instead of rice and broccoli instead of zucchini because it's what I had

Lemony Pasta with Goat Cheese and Spinach

I know you've likely seen this but it looks so good! I just wish I had all the ingredients. Maybe I'll make a variation today for dinner tonight.
