Meatless day observers - WFD tonight?

mbcdefg

I'm trying to think of what we can have for dinner tonight but I'm stumped. I thought we could have baked mac and cheese, but I used up the Cheddar last night for another dish. So I either have to buy more Cheddar on my lunch break, or come up with something else.

Here's what I have in the house. MH will eat anything I make, and we don't have kids. Can you think of anything?

Starches: bow-tie, orzo, penne, elbows, and I think we have some spaghetti left; white rice; cornmeal/polenta; a couple small potatoes

Vegetables: zucchini, cauliflower, onions, sugar snap peas, Romaine lettuce, mushrooms (all fresh); baby carrots, peas, corn, Brussels sprouts, string beans (frozen)

Etc: mozzarella cheese, eggs, potato bread, can of tuna, white wine, balsamic vinegar, can of white cannellini beans, cream cheese

 

ETA a few things I forgot we had.

You can make a macaroni salad with elbows, tuna and boiled egg. We're having crab stuffed ravioli's tonight ... will probably do sushi on Friday.

we're having pasta piselli...basically pasta & peas in a tomato sauce, but more soupy...

zucchini & eggs, tuna melts, grilled mozzarella.

You could make a frittata, or egg cake.  Just saute up all the veggies you have in some olive oil and then add eggs and bake until set.  You could sprinkle some mozz cheese on top and serve with toast.  My MIL makes them with zucchini, potato, red peppers, etc.  So delicious and really good for breakfast the next day. 

Otherwise you could make a cold pasta salad with the tuna and add in some of the fresh veg you have. With some mayo or olive oil and spices.

I'd roast the veggies (zucchini, cauliflower, onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts) with oil, salt and pepper and seasonings (herbs de provence would be nice) and serve them with the bow-ties or orzo.

We are having homemade pizza.  Thinking one with feta and tomatoes, onions and olives and one more traditional one with tomato sauce, peppers and mozzarella.  Then we'll eat salad too.

I made lentil soup yesterday.

I would probably sautee some peppers onions, etc and make stuffed zucchini boats, top with some mozzarella cheese and bake with roasted poatatoes on the side.

Great ideas! Thank you

Dice the veggies and make a hearty vegetable soup with orzo and some good Italian bread or have what we're having -- pasta primavera.  You could also make a veggie casserole using rice if you have cream of mushroom soup or broccoli cheddar soup, etc.

probably pizza, but if not, I'll make shrimp & broccoli with some pasta, garlic & olive oil
