NP. You sound exactly like me except you are doing it so much better. This is how we operate too, but I am just not as organized. Post your shopping list/pantry list? Pretty please? [/quote]

Thank you! I always come on DCUM prepared to be smacked around. Not sure what to do with a compliment!! :-)

So I'm posted overseas right now, but there are a lot of the same foods here as at home. I didn't say this in the post because people find it obnoxious, but we're actually vegan at home and we eat as we please outside of the house. I know it's strange, but it works for us. So our list wouldn't work for most people. Beans, rice, tofu, veggies, fruits, tortillas, nut butters, granola bars. That's pretty much it!!  :wink:

We run a rotation of these kinds of meals:

* Black bean, corn, mango salad (from cooking light - it's amazing)
* Veggie chili (beans, lentils, sundried tomatoes, leftover veggies thrown in)
* Spaghetti night with salad
* Beans and rice (with toppings for personalizing - corn, avocado, tomatoes, salsa, lettuce, etc.)
* Veggie stir-fry curry (with leftover veggies)
* Veggie burgers (sometimes homemade, sometimes not) with roasted potatoes or crinkle-cut french fries (yum)
* Sloppy lentils (sub lentils for meat in this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/simply-the-easiest-beef-brisket/)
* Falafel (sometimes homemade, sometimes from a mix) with bean salad
* Peanut noodles (from the epicurious recipe for cold sesame noodles - it's fantastic)
* Rice salad with cashews, raisins, leftover veggies (curry powder for flavor)
* Indian-type meals with chickpeas, coconut milk, cashews, etc. over brown rice
* Soup!

The reason it's so easy for me to remember these is that most are frozen in small batches in my freezer right now. :-) I hope it's helpful![/quote]
