Pantry Clean Out Week 2

This week's dinners were fairly ho-hum. Both Alan and I have increased our workouts (me working out in the early morning, Alan during lunch and after work) and we have just been exhausted when we get home.
We had tomato and tofu sandwiches one night, leftover mac & cheese the next, caramelized onion pizza one night (using leftover tomato sauce from last week's spaghetti) and the big winner this week was:

Isa Chandra's Chickpea Cutlets

These were crazy good and pretty easy. I made garlic mashed potatoes and white gravy and sliced tomatoes to go along with the cutlets...and I ate way too much!
The recipe makes 8 cutlets, and knowing that now, I will definitely be making half, or even just a quarter batch next time. I ate some of the leftovers of this meal tonight for dinner and found that while so, so good the first night, the cutlets really aren't that fantastic re-heated. The wheat gluten in them gets fairly stringy and chewy, so I probably will let Alan have those leftovers from now on. He'll eat anything.
