WWAW 1

*Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week!*

Um, whoops! I forgot to do WWAW for last week. Rather than do them both in one LONG post, I decided to do last week’s WWAW first and then post this weeks. Enjoy.

Wednesday:  Basketball Food

We went to see the Spurs play the Wizards and didn’t have time to grab dinner beforehand so we had to grab dinner there. I didn’t have high hopes but was pleasantly surprised with our dinner. The barbecue concession stand had a vegan Sloppy Joe (they called it a Sloppy Jane which I found mildly offensive–boys can be vegans too!) and the best macaroni and cheese I think I have ever had!

Thursday: Birthday Dinner for Campbell

I tried to make a dinner I knew Campbell would like, and with a little help from Sam, settled on cheese pizza (crust, tomato sauce and shredded cheese from Trader Joe’s), a Caesar salad, and roasted broccoli–Campbell’s favorite.

Friday: Macaroni and Cheese

I made my Grandma’s mac and cheese with cherry tomatoes on the side. Yummy!

Saturday: Palestinian Dinner Out

We went to one of our new favorite restaurants, Jerusalem. We got a bunch of yummy vegetarian foods.

Sunday: Chinese Take-Out

Grandma Judi got take-out from our favorite Chinese restaurant, Hong Kong Palace! We got homestyle bean curd (tofu), mapo tofu, garlic spinach, spicy garlic eggplant, and golden corn.

Monday: Corn and Chipotle Chowder and Quesadillas

I made this soup and sandwich combo from the Williams-Sonoma catalog of all places. It was delicious! Again, I skipped the bacon–totally unnecessary! And you could definitely make either the soup or the sandwich on their own and have a nice meal (together they are kind of a lot of work for a week night!)

Tuesday: Corn and Chipotle Chowder

This is one of my favorite soups and I hadn’t made it in a while. I only use half of a chipotle chile (it calls for 2) and that is plenty spicy for me. And I like things spicy, so be careful! Also, I obviously skipped the bacon. The recipe calls for TWO CUPS of cream and a sprinkling of feta (or queso fresco) so I am quite certain it is rich and salty enough without the bacon!  I also made quesadillas with fresh corn tortillas
