Dinner 24
Fridays are usually the day I sit down to meal plan for the week so that I can get my shopping done and make use of the natural light on the weekend. Somewhere in the middle of that is my attempt to be creative and think of a new recipe but I’ve kind of been lost in wedding land this week. Most of which includes searching for little things on Etsy or crying as I watch video after video, trying to decide on a videographer.
Not a photographer, but a videographer. Something that never even crossed my mind until I started planning the wedding. I stumbled across a video on one of the wedding blogs and it was all downhill from there. Over twenty films and a box of tissues later, I’ve been convinced that I need to have a videographer. Dang it.
So I’ve decided to put together a collection of easy recipes for those times when I’m distracted and need a few ideas for the meal plan. Some of these I’ve already tried and loved while others are ones I can’t wait to try. Hopefully you can find some inspiration as well!
1. Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Lemon-Dijon Dressing from Dishing Up the Dirt
2. Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Kale Quesadillas from Cookie Monster Cooking
3. Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad with Ginger Peanut Dressing from Ambitious Kitchen

14. Creamy Mushroom and Kale Quesadillas from Eat Live Run
15. Pesto Portobello Burgers from Greens n’ Chocolate
16. Butternut Squash and Gruyere Frittata from Cookie Monster Cooking
17. Lentil and Sweet Potato Salad from The Healthy Maven
18. Black Bean Spinach Enchiladas from The Garden Grazer

So many yummy looking recipes! Personally, I want to dive head first into that creamy cauliflower soup. Thanks for including a couple of my recipes too :) Oh and the videographer is SO worth it…we watched ours on our anniversary and it was pretty special.

I’ve been sooo bad about meal planning lately. I’ve been making a batch of soup or chili and then relying on eggs, sweet potatoes and avocado for random meals throughout the week. This list is inspiring me get cooking! Thanks for including me :)

LOVE this recipe round-up Sarah! Seeing as I was vegetarian for many years, I’m still partial to vegetarian meals. I definitely gravitate to them more often than not. All of these look amazing – not a bad one in the bunch!

I’m loving the all of the round-ups! I’ve been feeling less than inspired and this list has sparked lots of interest. That thai quinoa salad and your salsa bean loaves are tops on my list. Thanks for the shout out, by the way :) Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the shoutout! I’ve been eating a lot more veg meals lately mostly because I am so sick of chicken but I need to get more creative. Pinning!

I SO wish we would have hired a videographer but it just wasn’t in our budget at all. :( I’m sure you won’t regret it!

We didn’t have the budget for a professional videographer, so we had one of my bridesmaids boyfriends videotape our ceremony and some of the reception until the film ran out. He captured the most important things and that was fine for me. :) I know my friend had one of her other guy friends iphone video the entire thing and it worked out well.
Love the recipe round up. So many yummy looking and sounding recipes!

Love that you are getting a videographer! I too have burst into tears while watching strangers’ wedding videos. Makes me feel like the biggest sap ever! Unfortunately I can’t think of anything more awkward than watching myself on video, so I am skipping the videographer. Maybe we will get to see your wedding video? Thanks for including me in this round-up!

If it makes you feel any better I said I wanted to “save money” on our videographer and the video came out great! The best part of it is that it clearly shows us saying our vows to each other.
These are great recipes! Thanks for posting!

My biggest regret from our wedding is that we didn’t get it on video. The day was so stressful and busy that I don’t remember that much of the ceremony…sad! It would be nice to have it on film.

Thanks for including me in this Sarah! Such a great round-up – we’ve been eating meat only probably 1 to 2 times a week now so I love having all these new ideas. The quick and easy part is definitely an added bonus : )
I never thought I wanted a videographer but my mom insisted … so we just quickly picked someone. He was terrible lol – I’m glad I have some video but the way he edited the thing it looks like something from the 90s!! haha It’s so bad that we were actually cracking up as we were watching it – the effects are so silly! At least we loved our photographer!

Never thought of a videographer either… You sound so passionate about it, must be great!

Awesome list, Sarah!!! I want to make EVERYTHING on here! I am doing a Paleo experiment this week in conjunction with a holistic nutritionist in Sydney (for the blog), so I have to cut out a lot of things. When these 7 days are over though, I’ll be all over these recipes!
