*Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week!*
You’d think by now I would have the hang of it. But I sat up in bed last night because I suddenly remembered I had never done my WWAW post! Sheesh! Well, sorry it is late but here you go!
Wednesday: Black Beans, Rice and Mexican Chopped Salad
I have been wanting to try these beans for a while! My friend Lacey recommended them and they were soooo good! We served them with rice and a little shredded cheese. They made a bunch so we had them for leftovers for days! I also made this southwestern chopped salad that I love!! Rather than making the dressing, I just bought the cilantro dressing from Trader Joe’s. Obviously I left off the black beans, since that would have been a little weird given our main dish.
Thursday: Black Bean and Butternut Squash Enchiladas
I got this recipe from my friend Erin who has recently started making Meatless Monday dinners. Yay Erin!! She warned me that it was spicy, so I didn’t add the jalapeno but it was still spicy! We all really liked it, but you may want to go with the mild rotel if you don’t like spicy.
Ben took me out for dinner and a play in Shirlington. So fun! We got to try out Copperwood Tavern which was delicious. We split a salad and I had sides for dinner: oysers, mac and cheese, and brussels sprouts. Yum!
Saturday: District Taco
We decided last minute to have dinner at District Taco because I realized I didn’t have the right ingredients for what I wanted to make. Oops!
Sunday: Spaghetti
We made spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatless crumbles from Trader Joe’s and some garlic bread.
Monday: Wild Mushroom Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Fontina, and Rosemary
This recipe was really good but really rich!! I think it could probably be made with fewer onions to make it a little less rich. I would also do something different with the mushrooms next time, as they ended up really watery and I had to drain them. But the pizza really was delicious, promise!
Tuesday: Minnesota Wild Rice Soup
I decided to make this soup after seeing my Uncle Brian mention Wild Rice Soup on Facebook! Ha! Even though half my family is from Minnesota, I had never made this soup before. It was delicious, but richer than I was expecting. I was not picturing a creamy soup for some reason. So if you are looking for a wintery, delicious soup, try this!
