Week of July 6th Meal Prep

After visiting family out of state for a week I came home hungry and with nothing to eat. A bunch of pantry staples and a short 2 hours later I had the following covering lunch and dinner for four days (and had finished eating and cleaning up!)

From top down:

* On the Glow Pasta Salad with Creamy ACV, Shallot, Maple and Dijon Vinaigrette and Vegan Feta Cheese from Oh She Glows Salads

Dressing: (Garlic, Shallot, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, avocado, maple syrup, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard)
– Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Salad: (red bell pepper, green onions, cherry tomatoes, dill, macaroni)
– Cook the macaroni, chop the vegetables, and toss everything together with the dressing and feta.

* Cheater Baked Beans from Veganomicon (olive oil, onions, garlic, tomato sauce, molasses, mustard powder, beans – I used kidney because thats what I had)
– Brown the onion, combine with the remaining ingredients, and bake until hot and bubbly.

* BBQ Seitan Wings from The Everything Easy Vegan Cookbook (seitan, bbq sauce)
– Coat the prepared seitan in barbecue sauce and bake until caramelized.

* Mac and Cheese from Hot for Food All Day (nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, macaroni, vegan cheddar, plant-based butter)
Combine everything except Vegan cheddar and plant-based butter in a pot and cook until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened. Add cheddar and butter and stir until melted into sauce.

* Vegan Feta from Oh She Glows Salads – 1/4 used for the pasta salad, the rest to be frozen (tofu, coconut oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar)
– Blend all ingredients until smooth, then refrigerate until firm.

* Ciabatta Rolls from Easy Vegan Baking (yeast, flour, olive oil, sugar)
– Combine the ingredients into a dough, let rise, shape, let rise again, and bake until golden.

* Steamed Chicky Seitan from Isa Does It – half used for the wings, the other half made as "cutlets" in the foil for the freezer (Chickpeas, vegetable broth, olive oil, soy sauce, Vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic)
– Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process into a dough. Shape and steam until cooked through.
