Lightweight Eats

We were very behind on our FoodGawker favorites (we've got hundreds of recipes to cook), so we decided to dig into the archives for inspiration this week.

1. Salad with spring mix, lettuce, carrot, avocado, beets, roasted mushrooms, bottled dressing
2. Spaghetti with edamame, green onions, cilantro, olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, broccoli
3. Carrot casserole with onion, parsley and tofu
4. Thai peanut slaw salad (peanut sauce, shredded cabbage, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, mint, green peas, roasted peanuts) in rice wraps
5. Quinoa salad with roasted delicata squash, roasted cauliflower, mmmm sauce
6. Red Lentil Soup (onion, oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, curry, canned tomatoes, red lentils, veggie stock, pepper, cayenne, lime, cilantro, green onion)
7. Lentil loaves (green lentils, stock, oil, zucchini, fennel, onion, garlic, carrot, flour, quinoa, parsley, paprika, celery, soy sauce, miso paste) with avocado-tahini dressing (avocado, tahini, stock, garlic, soy, parsley)

Breakfasts: Vanilla-Honey polenta with blueberries, bananas and almonds; 6-grain hot cereal with apples, raisins and cinnamon

Lunch ideas: Protein smoothie with spinach; roasted sweet potatoes with mmm sauce; sunflower seed butter and jam sandwich; pasta with kale, sun-dried tomatoes and olives

Snacks: Pita, baby carrots, hummus; cereal; instant oatmeal

We also have a house guest staying with us for a few days, so some of these dinner options might be amended with salads, or combined into larger meals.
