What are you having for dinner tonight?

[FireSignFemme]

Open-face sandwich – campfire roasted chicken breast deli meat on Dave's Killer Thin Sliced Bread with a little mayo, little mustard. Cottage cheese and pineapple ring slices for dessert. La Croix sparking tangerine flavored water to drink.

[easygoingfemme]

Tonight is family dinner with my extended family and it's my turn to cook. I'm at work so my crockpot is working on a wild rice and mushroom soup that I will finish off with cream and spices when I get home. I have a loaf of crusty bread for the family and boring gluten free crackers for me. My nephews will have their standard pasta. They don't eat much else and it's not the hill I'm going to die on right now so I cook them up a weeks worth every Friday and they have to make it last. They are very specific about it having to be pasta that I make, no one else.

[Wrang1er]

I marinaded boneless pork chops in pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger powder, garlic powder and pepper. I grilled them along with sliced pineapple. Rice was the side. Pretty good if I say so myself.

It's been AGES since I had boiled peanuts! Soo good.

I'm going to try to make my own Riced Cauliflower pizza crust; then pile some cubed squash on top, after I use slices of Chao Field Roast Cheese on the cauliflower crust, then pair some tiny broccoli buds and black olives and ChiKn tenders on top, then roast it in the oven.

Hopefully it turns out okay.

If not, I can always smother it in Caesar salad dressing.


Here's to another night of Bon Appetit in the kitchen. :balloon:

How did it turn out?

Tonight, I had a Pomegranate inspired bagged salad. It's so good I got two bags (had the other one yesterday!). This was promptly followed by cake and plenty of water to wash it all down.

[Orema]

Had grilled white fish and veggies in yellow curry sauce over white rice. It was delicious.

[Gemme]

Gee, I dunno I lived in Wisconsin for over 25 years and NEVER heard or had it!

It's on the menu (https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/menu.jsp?utm_campaign=69796110|c|GG&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=p_search&utm_content=aud-44253621750:kwd-784836703|69796110|21823293990&utm_term=domino's%20menu&matchtype=p&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy97qBRDoARIsAITONTLu4x9w7_ZUTIqnKkDY 0h94cjcwGe2N9GMVUAVZXH2AQviZvYhq9r8aAhzsEALw_wcB#/menu/category/all/).

Pretty good! I just squished a bunch of riced cauliflower into a pizza pan lined with baker's paper; then poured a half cup of a mixture I made out of coconut cream/coconut water and a bit of coconut flour on top of it and squished it all over the riced cauliflower -- then baked the pizza crust first, then put the other stuff on top and shoved it back in the over to bake for about ten or fifteen more minutes. The pizza pan I have is not a big one; it's more like a small personal pan size, which I found at a Good-Will store, a few years ago. Comes in handy, when I want a small meal for myself. :)

[nycfem]

I made an omelette with red bell peppers, onion, and spinach. I also had some Morningstar vegetarian bacon.

For dessert I had Greek yogurt with walnuts, banana, strawberry, cinnamon and kamut puffs.

It was all absolutely delicious.

I'm quoting below so I remember what is good in this recipe and don't f**k it up like I did tonight. Tonight I wokk-ed together carrots, onions, tofu, and riced cauliflower and then added .5 cup Gochujang. It was a disaster! The number one problem was too much sauce! Just crazy! Also, I should not have put the tofu in with the veggies without cooking them by themselves first. I was just being lazy. And I don't think the riced cauliflower worked. And I had also added a teaspoon of EVOO in cooking and maybe it's better without that. I got cocky :mohawk: because my last version of this dish came out so good. This one came out steamed, mushy, and wayyyy over-sauced- Really I should have been arrested it was so alarming.

I did have some of my famous plum and cucumber salad which came out great. That involves chopping up 2 plums and chopping up 1 cucumber and putting them together. Aw, simplicity. I actually watched a youtube once about plant based recipes that involve one or two ingredients. Like this man had a guest over and he served some defrosted peas, and it was really good. At least that's what the man said about it on the video. Not sure what the woman actually thought :blink:

Tonight was a win! I dry wokked (okay- I made that term up- I just mean cooking with no oil and no water in a wok) carrots, onions, tofu, and petite brussel sprouts. It was not watery which was great. I cooked it till it was starting to brown. Then I added. 25 cup of Gochujang (I'm forever thankful, GeorgiaMa'am!) after it was off the heat. The flavor was perfect! I was surprised how well the petite Brussel sprouts worked! Total victory of a meal!

I'm not a huge enchilada person but this recipe sounds pretty darn good.

I'm not sure what dinner will consist of for me. I'm eating out of the freezer and fridge so there will probably be fresh fruit and maybe a Sweet Earth frozen meal. They are actually pretty good and contain several super foods in each meal. The other option is a sandwich. I could do ham and Swiss. I dunno. I'm still kind of full from brunch so dinner's not a big concern for me now.

Tomorrow night, I'll have rice with peppers and onions and a veggie sausage though. It's going to be sooo pretty as I got the striped peppers. I'm just too lazy to do that tonight.

[Wrang1er]

School is back in session. One of the boys requested garlic roasted lemon chicken. I made that today with rice and sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese.

[Kätzchen]

Is there such a thing as Spicy ChiKn-Cordon-Caesar?
That's what I'm having tonight.

I use one slice of Garlic Nan bread; I cut in half, then I set it aside.

Then I take two Spicy Quorn ChiKn patties (https://cdn.nexternal.com/vegane/images/QuornSpicyChickenLG.jpg) and simmer them in EVOO or Coconut oil in my new non-stick, non-plastic resin, frying pan for about 15 minute (med-high heat).

Once I flip the chik-N patties over, I lay down both halves of the Garlic Nan bread, top both pieces with Field Roast Chao Cheese, then put the chik-N patties on top, then turn off the burner and slip the lid back on the pan.

I let it sit in the pan for about 5 minutes, so the Garlic Nan becomes warm and soaks up the evoo/coconut oil and to let the cheese melt.

Once it's ready to serve, I take a leaf of romaine lettuce and tear it up, put it on top, then use my favorite vegan Caesar dressing on top of the whole thing.

For those who like the powdered spice of Curry, I usually sprinkle a touch of it on top, as well as crack a few peppercorns too.

*Delish!* :)

[Bèsame*]

Last night I made meatballs, so today I had left overs.
Last night was with a creamy mushroom sauce with big chunky sliced mushrooms. I had 3 of the biggest mushrooms ever!

Tonight's version had some spicey Asian wing sauce on them. And a bowl of chopped fresh veggies. You know the kind, a little of this and a little of that :) oh, and as a special treat, half of an avocado. 🥑

First I had some celery with tofu salad (tofu salad sold in store).

Then I took a box of MacDougall brand low sodium French lentil soup and cooked it in a pan with a bottle of water and a bag of frozen kale. Unfortunately it turned out horrendous. The water watered it down too much, and I think I don't like the soup brand, because I literally could not eat this concoction. That's rare for me, because even if I don't like something I will usually eat it anyway- but this was just too unpleasant.

I instead had a bowl of frozen / microwaved black bean soup with chopped onion, cilantro, and sour cream.

Then I had a vegan vanilla Rawmantic bar.

Honestly I felt a bit sick to my stomach after the whole meal. So I had some chamomile tea :tea:.

Cottage pie, from the old Moosewood cookbook. It's a pie filled with fine chopped veggies tossed with egg and cottage cheese and topped with sour cream and dill. Bakes up nice and it's super comfort food. Perfect for my daughter coming home today from being gone all summer :)

Correction, it's called Country Pie- I just always call it cottage because of the cheese. If it's not in your cookbook, it's online too if you google. But I'm not going to post a link because I personally feel like looking for just the right thing in a cookbook is super fun :)

I subbed a few items/steps-

I had a wa-hoo special pork loin roast that I marinated in orange juice with your other ingredients for 18 hrs (ziplocked).

Baked in 1/2 the marinate for 2 hrs-I did baste with the drippings while in the oven.

With a side of Mandarin-Orange Salad-

[nycfem]

Dinner tonight was not great but it was passable.

I used two woks and, with no oil, I stir-fried bell peppers, onions, and carrots in one, and then in the other I stir-fried tofu and cabbage. Then I put them together and added .25 of a cup of Gochuchang sauce (bibimbap / Korean style sauce).

It seemed to really help to press the tofu of all water before cooking, as recommended in this thread. And it was so easy to do.

The bell peppers were watery and over-powering, I think. Not sure the carrots worked that well either. It might be cool to do all cabbage and tofu. And maybe cook onions separately in EVOO and add them.

Cooking the veggies separately and without oil seemed helpful. They browned nicely. Skipping the riced cauliflower seemed good as well.

Afterward I had a Rawmantic vegan vanilla bar.

All in all, even though the stir-fry was meh, it was edible and healthy and filling, so I'm pleased enough.

[Kätzchen]

It is very humid and terribly sultry tonight. I just got home after spending 3 long hours in traffic, lol. I'm not too hungry, but I am sipping on room temperature water, guzzling a Dr. Stevia, and will promptly eat some vegan coconut non-dairy ice cream (the whole pint) which is more like a solid type custard type confection, in the flavor of salted caramel.


I had a big Asian sesame salad for a late lunch, with sesame salad dressing, so I feel like I had something reasonably healthy.


Heck, the Dr. Stevia is fairly healthy since is doesn't impact A1c/blood sugar issues. The Salted Caramel non-dairy ice cream is protein rich, so I think I will be okay, for now.


I recently bought a 'rainbow' pack of Dr. Stevia 'soda' products, so it's one a day, just like a vitamin, until they're gone. I don't ordinarily drink soda type products at all, so this is just a test run on a new stevia based drink product.

We are having family dinner tonight instead of Friday due to a few conflicts. Broccoli quiche and salad for the adults and pasta and hopefully some grilled chicken for the boys.

What are slaw dogs? *Curious*

They are just hot dogs with cole slaw on top - just like chili dogs, except slaw instead of chili.

Tonight I had:
- a garden salad with creamy Italian dressing
- lasagna

(Yes, it was a little heavy in this heat, but I've been craving marinara sauce.)

[nycfem]

I had my easy dinner. Actually a truly easy dinner would be take-out :phonegab:

I had a bowl of frozen/microwaved black bean soup with onions, sour cream, and cilantro.

Then I had some tofu "egg" salad (Someone asked if I get this kind of thing from a deli and the answer is- I get it from a natural health food store). I had that with pickles that I use like a spoon. Well, a spoon I take a bite out of!

Then I had... you guessed it- a Rawmantic vegan vanilla bar.

It was not an amazing dinner, but it did the trick.

[Kätzchen]

Mission Figs, organic carrot juice which I diluted with some water (it's expensive to buy), and a few celery sticks filled with organic peanut butter.

Just a light supper. Tasty and filling.

When you live by yourself a pan of enchiladas lasts a long time!

I also had a lime popsicle. :)

My daughter and I both had Tempeh bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches. She had hers on nice local made chewy bread. I had mine on gluten free "rye" bread that is okay.

I dunno. Maybe I should skip it. It's already almost 9 and I had a late lunch.

[girl_dee]

i pretty much heated up everything in the fridge.. so quite the mishmash...

[nycfem]

I followed up with my idea from last night (trying a stir-fry with almost all cabbage as the veggie with the tofu). It was edible but not great; however, I have some ideas for improving it next time.

I dry-wokked (no oil) cabbage, lots of scallions (I think they taste great with cabbage generally), and tofu (pressed out much of the water thanks to this thread's advice). Then after cooking, I added .25 cup of the red pepper paste and mixed.

The problem was that it was too watery. And I think that came from the tofu. Even though I pressed it, it probably still generated a lot of water. When too much water can't be gotten rid of, the veggies come out more steamed instead of dried / browned (the latter of which I prefer). It also takes soooo long to cook when it's watery. I felt like I spent a good hour stir-frying cabbage.

So, yeah, I guess next time I will try cooking the tofu separately from the cabbage and scallions.

For dessert I had a Rawmantic vegan vanilla bar and it really hit the spot, especially after eating so much *essentially* steamed cabbage.

One way I love to stir-fry cabbage is with a combo of peanut butter and soy sauce. OMG, so good. Cabbage picks up flavors very nicely.

I didn't realize they made pasta out of quinoa. Have you had it before?

[Orema]

I didn't realize they made pasta out of quinoa. Have you had it before?

Yes, and I like it. It's easier for me to find quinoa pasta than red lentil pasta. I also like the red lentil but it's not as easily available.

I think the taste of quinoa and red lentil pasta is similar to the taste and texture of rice pasta.

I prefer wheat-based pasta but it's not good for my arthritic knees.

[Mopsie]

Tonight for dinner I made gnocchi with a mushroom alfredo sauce.

When I say "make" I mean I cooked frozen gnocchi, opened the jar of alfredo sauce, and sauteed the mushrooms.

I'm not Martha Stewart, but it tasted pretty good. :)

[girl_dee]

Mel ordered sushi!!!!

[nycfem]

My stir-fry was frustrating tonight. I dry-wokked (no oil) cabbage and scallions. I skipped the tofu altogether. So it worked very well not to have the water from the tofu- big difference. The cabbage cooked really well. I decided to go with a mixture of curry, peanut butter, and soy sauce to mix with it at the end. I added WAY too much curry. It was really overpowering. Also, I ran out of natural peanut butter and had to use BB's regular peanut butter. Both those things were frustrating, especially the excess curry.

Then I had a Rawmantic vegan vanilla bar which hit the spot.

I find it quite therapeutic to pull apart a cabbage. I recommend that activity.

They are great for tacos and loose meat burritos! I have used them in spaghetti sauce as well. You can also have a loose meat dish with the crumbles, some sautéed veggies and shredded cheese. With or without a starch. Rice and quartered red potatoes are my fave. And let's not forget making your own sloppy joes. Add in some diced onion and bell pepper with a little sauce and you are good to go. They are very versatile!

Dinner was delicious tonight.

I made an omelet with yellow bell peppers, onions, black pepper, and unsweetened ketchup, along with morningstar veggie strips (aka meatless "bacon").

Then for dessert I had Greek yogurt with blueberries, bananas, cinnamon, and kamut puffs.

The day after Labor Day I start back at my job (working at a school), so I hope I will be able to cook. It's so much easier to do during the summer when I am not working.

I went shopping for fresh produce today and got seriously good buys!

Romaine, Lemon-pepper Cucumbers, huge field-size tomatoes, Red sweet Bell Peppers, Carrots, and Pumpkin Brownies (vegan) - which are sooooooooo good.

Recipe here (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/18253/broccoli-rice-casserole/?utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=allrecipes_allrecipes_13496862&utm_content=sidedish_verticalimage&utm_term=sidedish_201811&epik=dj0yJnU9TWpOMm85SnZURmdCOWN4SWNkamxsMzI3bzRxa y0wTzEmbj1uLXRUTk9US01tTkYwSTNvcmt5dnN3Jm09MyZ0PUF BQUFBRjFpaFIw).

ziti with ricotta cheese and marinara sauce

same again . . . a pan of ziti goes a long way

And sounds delicious!! :tease:

*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*

As for me I can't decide what to have for dinner I'm kind of tired so I'm thinking about having a frozen meal. But after reading about the ziti I kind of want Italian. I have some turkey meatballs in the freezer and some pasta and pasta sauce in the cupboard. If I get a second wind, I might make that. Hmmm....

[Kätzchen]

I did not have much of an appetite today.... (it's terribly hot outside) …, but I finally had something to eat: Garden salad first, washed it down with Carrot juice and now I'm having a rather big piece of Carrot Cake.

A side of water is next.

[Wrang1er]

Spaghetti with meat sauce.

[Mopsie]

For the first time in my life I made scrambled eggs in a mug. (in the microwave) I added some cheese during the second part and it was delicious!! :)

Probably y'all have done this before but just in case there's someone who hasn't here's the link (https://diythrill.com/2016/02/03/scrambled-eggs-in-a-mug/).

I went out to dinner with a friend at work: She had this amazing veggie/salad wrap and sweet potato fries. I had a vegetarian Gyro (no meat) and sweet potato fries. We both had happy hour mixed drink cocktails.... and we commiserated about life (in general) and watched the sun go down and the pedestrian traffic go by.

Tons of good calories, but very relaxing after work activity.


<<<<<<<~~ I walked back to my car after dinner (maybe a five blocks of walking?), very slowly. I went window shopping for dessert.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- a smoked turkey sandwich
- applesauce
- an oatmeal raisin cookie

[Gemme]

I had my last piece of pizza with some water and then my sweet tooth kicked in and I had a s'mores cookie and some cotton candy ice cream.

[Bèsame*]

Salanta is catering a salad bar down at the leasing office. I'm headed that way now ! Yay, to being able to partake, and not having a wacky schedule.

[Orema]

Tacos and tequila.

[Princess]

baked spaghetti!

I made roasted lemon chicken but I would have rather had this!

[Mopsie]

Not feeling well today so probably rice for dinner or crackers. However - if I feel a little better I might try a baked potato. Woot!

[Wrang1er]

It will be pancakes and bacon!

[easygoingfemme]

I made a casserole that has a bed of wild rice topped with sauteed brussels sprouts, cubed butternut squash, cubed chicken breast, garlic, basil, thyme, and topped with slivered almonds and dry cranberries. Hope it will be good.

Also, a boatload of pasta with butter for the boys....

I went to the doctor and got some zofran. I felt so much better after that. I'm going to have to keep some zofran on hand at all times! Anyhow I went ahead and made a baked potato. It was so very yummy! :tease:

Zofran is a miracle drug when you have nausea. I wish they would sell it otc and you didn't need a prescription.

For dinner I had:
- chicken fingers with honey mustard sauce
- lima beans
- corn on the cob
- a tiny slice of tomorrow morning's almond coffee cake

[Kätzchen]

I am still feasting on produce I bought the other day: Dark green romaine leaves, thinly sliced carrots, red bell pepper, tomato and kale; topped off with watered down Caesar dressing -- I cut the dressing with coconut milk and add chia seeds to it, to make it last longer.

Dessert: almond roll bites (3), one ginger snap, and a glass of carrot juice on the side.


I will sip on water all evening long (I gotta catch up somehow).

I made fried green tomatoes. They were just okay. Mom likes them with regular flour and I like to use seasoned flour. I did it her way.

I like to add a little corn meal to my flour, but I’m down for the all-flour way, seasoned or not. Sounds delicious.

I’m taking a tip from Mopsie and am having a baked potato with butter and sour cream with blueberries and cream for dessert.

I have heard about the corn meal. I like to use Kentucky Kernel Seasoned flour. It gives it a nice little kick.

Blueberries would be nice for dessert. (Hint hint)

No bacon or broccoli? 😉

I'm open to suggestions for a fast cold relief... can I add in Nyquil for dinner....lots and lots of Nyquil. ugh

I'm in favor of corn meal on fried green tomatoes.

My son is taking me out to breakfast. My original plan was to only eat home cooked meals unless I was at their place or in the hospital or something. However it didn't last. Both J and my son are leading such busy lives they usually take me to a restaurant so while I chow down they can have a break and enjoy a meal too. Right now I'm busy planning my relapse, however I'll regret my decision later and make up for it tonight by having just some meat ick something, probably a plain baked chicken breast with a bunch of salt on it. Well at least I don't have high blood pressure because I really love salt. There's nothing already salted that I don't need to put more salt on, even jerky tastes better if it's dipped in salt. Bet if I had a past life it would have been as a member of some primitive tribe where we all celebrated life by holding hands and dancing in a circle together around some statue made of salt. Well quite obviously if that were the case Lot's wife wouldn't be a member of our tribe. Shit she'd probably be the statue! Now that's just plain wrong, thinking a thought like that.

[Chad]

With my right arm in a sling mom has to help me. So if all goes well we will make pork chops, yellow squash, and picadillo for tacos.

:linecook:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- chicken and cheese quesadilla
- applesauce
- oatmeal and raisin cookie

[Chad]

With luck and help from mom I will make split green pea soup for dinner.

I'm not sure what else I'm having but I know for sure I'm having deviled eggs!

I'm going to a barbecue. The first thing I asked was if they were having deviled eggs. :cheesy:

My mom and I made deviled eggs for last weekend's family reunion. My Aunt Rava made some too, and hers were better - but mine were prettier. And they were all tasty. She went the sweet pickle relish route, and I went with dill.

Tonight I had:
- a tuna salad sub from Subway
- half of a pumpkin pie Blizzard from DQ

Yes, it involved two drive thrus - plus a third at The Milk Jug for beer - but you gotta do what you gotta do. It's pumpkin pie Blizzard season!

[PlatinumPearl]

A leafy green salad with cucumber, avocado, mango, nectarine and blueberries, with a light sprinkle of hemp hearts and sunflower seeds. I didn't add any vinegar or lemon to dress the salad I enjoyed the flavours as is and found it didn't need anything more.

I may or may not have had four deviled eggs at the barbecue. And they were delicious! When I make deviled eggs myself I use the sweet relish but they never look very good.

At the barbecue I also had baked beans, pasta salad, and grilled mushrooms. Yum!

BTW: now I really want a pumpkin pie Blizzard

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tonight it was:
- pizza with Italian sausage and mushrooms
- about a quarter of a pumpkin pie Blizzard

[Mopsie]

I cut up some veggies and threw them into some pre-made pasta salad I got at the grocery store. I did this cuz I didn't feel like making anything. But it turned out to be a very tasty meal. Four stars.

[Gemme]

I had crispy rounds with pico de gallo with water and ice cream.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- the last quarter of a pumpkin pie Blizzard
- a pumpkin Pop Tart
- leftover pizza

My parents and I tried out a new Thai restaurant tonight. I had a red curry with seafood...shrimp, scallops, mussels, and squid. Dinner was quite good, and the company was even better. :)

[Chad]

We had homemade burgers and fries.
I am getting a craving for those punkin pie bizzards GeorgiaMa'am posted about, sounds tasty.

Homemadeburgers and salad for me, add baked tater for the Mister

[CherryWine]

I roasted some broccoli to have along with some Gardein “chicken” tenders. Not the best meal ever, but it served its purpose.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- a PB&J - apple jelly
- applesauce
- oatmeal raisin cookie

[Kätzchen]

two small vegan meatless patties; a small handful of broccoli buds and a miniature wedge of cabbage, steamed gently, then served with melted Chao Field Roast 'Cheese'. I smothered it all in my vegan Caesar dressing, though.

Carrot juice and water, on the side.

[Mopsie]

I treated myself to Indian takeout last night. I got my favorite dish Saag Paneer (spinach and cheese) as well as some vegetarian samosas.

It was super yummy! :)

[Kätzchen]

I'm making my own version of John Chung's Spicy Korean Teriyaki (LINK (https://www.eater.com/2019/6/5/18637620/john-chung-seattle-teriyaki-korean)), except I'm using vegan meatless meat patties (soy free, non-gmo, organic).

I've got it simmering on the stove and it should be ready soon, it smells so good.

If you would like, I found it on the EATER website, which features popular cuisine choices from many big cities in the US. Here's a link to the website, in case you'd like to find awesome cuisine near you.

Last night was green eggs and Sham. Green eggs = eggs with spinach, green peppers, and onions, Sham = Facon (veggie "bacon"). For dessert I had Greek yogurt with blueberries, kamut puffs, banana, and cinnamon.

Tonight was a mixed green salad with hearts of palm, kidney beans, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and apple. Then I had a veggie burger and a veggie hot dog with Amy's mustard and a pickle.

Both dinners were ab fab!

[Kätzchen]

The fall rains have come back to our area, and it's a bit chilly today, after weeks of being sultry warm outside. So I found my crock-pot, so I can have soup, all week long.

My starter batch soup, includes several types of beans (1/4 cup, each): northern white beans, navy beans, butter beans and a sprinkle of black beans. I soaked them last night by adding a pinch of salt and a splash of ACV to the water. I just rinsed them off, this morning. So, I start with 1 quart spring water and half of one small carton of organic vegetable broth. Add the presoaked beans. Cook on high setting for about 5 hours. Once the beans have softened, I add minced organic celery, sweet onion and roasted cloves of garlic (all of this fits into less than a cup of fresh veggies). Then I recap the crock-pot and let that simmer for about an hour, on low heat. Right before I have a bowl of soup, I take a fresh field tomato (the vintage heritage type tomato) and slice off a few sections and chop those up, to put on top of the bowl of soup. I also like to have a bouquet of fresh basil, so I can pinch off a leaf and lay it on the soup too. I like my bean soup to be on the 'watery' side, so I can have a few crackers with the soup or a tiny few slices of a rustic baguette type bread (two or three tiny slices). I spread a bit of warmed coconut oil on the crackers or bread, then season it slightly with cardamom or any spice I might be craving (sometimes it's cinnamon or as simple as sea salt and freshly cracked pepper corns).

So this is what I am having tonight: Soup. :balloon:

Bon Appétit

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- grilled cheese sandwich
- cream of tomato soup
- pumpkin Pop-Tart

Tonight I had popcorn. I love popcorn! Also some pickles and tofu "egg" salad. Some vegetable soup. And some pre-cooked store-bought tofu in BBQ sauce. And a Rawmantic vegan vanilla bar. It was like a weird potluck.

I love meals like that because it's a little bit of everything.

Tonight, I had cereal. I mixed up Grain Berry and Blueberry Cheerios cereal with banana slices and almond milk. Usually I also add in fresh blueberries but I didn't feel like it tonight.

[Orema]

Last night was baked chicken, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, followed by a popsicle.

[nycfem]

I made a dish with Brussels Sprouts, garlic powder, EVOO, feta cheese, beets, artichoke hearts, avocado and lentils.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- chicken and spinach with pasta and Alfredo sauce
- steamed carrots
- a small piece of walnut cake

[candy_coated_bitch]

Parmesan noodles and some caramel corn for dessert.

I finally ate, I was under the weather for a while but mom brought me a sandwich and a grape beer. I can't even believe that someone made grape beer but it is yummy.

[Gemme]

Now that's a dinner I can get behind!

Tonight was baby carrots dipped in a light Caesar sauce, chips and pico de gallo, water, a little bit of black cherry ice cream and a small handful of gummy bears.

[FireSignFemme]

Iceberg lettuce/baby spinach salad mix topped with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese shreds, ranch dressing and a garnish of low cal veggies - grape tomatoes, mushrooms, bit of green bell pepper. Water to drink, no dessert, waiting till later so blood sugar numbers don't spike.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Jk, that's for the dog, she has an upset tummy

[Orema]

Lemon pepper wings I picked up at WingStop, red lentil pasta with butter and garlic, a glass of merlot.

[nycfem]

Dinner came out amazing! I made vegan kung pao "chicken" (seitan). I dry-wokked green peppers and onions until they were browned a little (came out perfect), then added dry roasted peanuts, pre-cooked seitan (wheat protein), and Gochujang (thanks, as always to Georgiama'am for turning me on to this literal awesome sauce).

[candy_coated_bitch]

Half a grilled cheese sandwich and a roasted cauliflower and tofu salad at a favorite cafe. I was treated to dinner and lots of good service from a submissive friend and I felt spoiled.

[Kätzchen]

I took a salad to work for my lunch today, and my lunch hour falls toward the early afternoon, so I was kinda not hungry, even after I got home tonight.

So I just had a small vegan meatless meat patty and drizzled some Orange Miso dressing over it. That hit the spot, and it left me feeling sated.

However, lol, I am going to try to make a soup this weekend and see how it turns out. It's kind of like how one might make a creamy chowder, with corn and chicken; but I'm going to use my vegan meatless meat patties (which taste better than chicken, if you ask me) as a substitute for the chicken. It's also supposed to have bacon crumbled into it too, but I think I will use the vegan 'bacon' instead. You can even add your favorite shredded cheese to it too, for those who can have real cheese, but I think I want to see if the creamy Chao Field Roast brand 'cheese' might work in the chowder, instead. I'm also going to add a trace of liquid smoke to it, so it has that BBQ type taste too. Oh, and instead of using regular dairy milk, I'm using Coconut Cream and Coconut flour, to add toward making it have that creamy type taste and thickness that creamy soups tend to have. Hopefully it turns out pretty tasty. :balloon:

[Wrang1er]

Today, I am making roasted garlic lemon chicken, rice, sliced tomatoes, and cottage cheese.

I haven't eaten yet today and I am hungry. The smell of the roasting garlic is making my stomach growl.

[Mopsie]

Spinach and cheese ravioli with tomato sauce.

I hadn't had this before and it was pretty good.

It's just a generic store-brand but tasty anyway.

I had an Amy's gluten-free non-dairy bean burrito with hot salsa, and for dessert I had an apple with peanut butter. It hit the spot.

This made a lot of pasta!

So today, to continue my mad scientist adventure, I added a little bit more alfredo sauce, threw it in a casserole dish, and sprinkled two cups of shredded cheese on top. I cooked it for 20 minutes at 350. I now have a recipe for what I am calling Baked Spaghetti Florentine.

It was mucho yummy!

[RockOn]

All that sounds delicious! :)

I took a break around 4:00, sat outside, ate turnip greens straight out of the can. I won't be eating dinner - it was so hot outside. I was out there all day in it. A lot of times, this heat destroys my appetite. Probably eat a couple of freeze pops before I go to bed.

Per my doctor's suggestion, I did buy some Amy's frozen vegan burritos, nuked one for lunch. Only one was enough and it stuck with me. I am leary of the lentil soup or lentil anything. Probably end up trying it later on. I bought some real funky food back in May when I went vegan. I had to throw out quite a few food items. I am still learning.

Stick with the well-known name brand stuff. Gardein and Sweet Earth have super delicious options, I can tell you from experience. I know a lot of folks like Amy's and I've seen it around. I just haven't tried it yet.

Here's a link (https://www.peta.org/living/food/freezer-aisle-finds-best-vegan-frozen-food-products/?utm_source=PETA::Google&utm_medium=Ad&utm_campaign=0518::veg::PETA::Google::Grant-Dynamic::::searchad&gclid=CjwKCAjw5fzrBRASEiwAD2OSV0GMpIW2jlNNeiZ1XTnP 8AVKfw-KojYI9R4ui-4I5zjMLahHYo2aDBoC7h8QAvD_BwE) to some of the best vegan frozen foods according to PETA. They even have oatmilk ice cream. I've never heard of that but it looks amazing.

The only problem with you eating greens from the can is that you didn't put any vinegar in them. Vinegar makes beets and greens taste waaaaay better plus you get colored vinegar when the food is gone. Fun!

Lentils are good for you but if you're not used to eating them, you might be a little gassy afterwards. Winter's good for mixed bean soups.

Tonight I had fresh baby carrots with a creamy Caesar dressing to dip them in, water to drink and some Perdue chicky nuggets, a couple of Outshine coconut ice cream bars and now I had a giant lollipop that I have to store in a cup or on a saucer until I can get it small enough to actually put inside my mouth. It takes me forever to finish one, which is great.

[MrSunshine]

I’m making a pot roast with carrots and tiny potatoes.

I had a roasted cauliflower and tofu salad with an iced almond milk chai. Then some veggie straws when I got home because I actually needed more carbs for my blood sugar.

I had 3 slices of vegan pizza from my local favorite pizza shop, Cafe Viva.

One was no cheese, veggie meatballs, onions, and red peppers, wholewheat crust (Mother Earth).

One was wholewheat crust, vegan cheese, broccoli (Vegetariana).

One was gluten free crust (kind of like a cracker), squash, and vegan cheese (Fresco). All 3 had the usual tomato sauce.

I ate them with arugula.

Then I had blueberries for dessert.

[Gemme]

I had a Santa Fe chicken flatbread. Well, half of one since they are over a foot long. Then I had some peach rings and some Nerds, flavored and plain water and I actually feel full which is good because I think I'm going to the gym tomorrow morning and need to got to bed early so I can get there early.

You and me both. My dinner consisted of baby carrots dipped in Caesar sauce, sliced apple, water and cake. Lots of cake. Technically, the cake came first and the rest was guilt food to make up for the cake. All that cake.

:blink:

Heh! You crack me up, Gemme! I survived Tuna Taco Coma-ville & slept like a rock (nine hours, or so). :)

I stopped by a bakery, in a shopping district I've been frequently lately. I bought a dozen of the last of their Pumpkin Muffins and Pumpkin Morning rolls (a twist on Cinnamon rolls, but made with Pumpkin, Walnuts, Cinnamon and big ole chocolate chunks that is 92% cacao, organic too).

OMG, it's like "Cake City" eating that stuff. But they're loaded with Pumpkin, Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and thank the good Cake Fairy, they're only loaded with antioxidants and stuff that won't set off the blood sugar alarm bells.

Not sure what I will have for dinner tonight. I was thinking of roasting a head of cauliflower and some Acorn Squash, then make some sort of 'cheese fondue' type dipping sauce for the roasted cauliflower buds, and make a roasted Acorn soup out of the squash. I've got left over Albacore Tuna, so I may have to have the last of it too. Only save it for Sunday Brunch. *lol*

I say that because rainy weather returns tomorrow and there's nothing like a Tuna Taco Coma-ville nap on a Sunday afternoon. :jester:

I love cake. It's my go-to food when I'm sick or depressed. I had some delicious lemon pound cake and some decadent butter Amaretto cake this past week.

Over the weekend I made a cheesy broccoli rice casserole to take for lunches this week. Monday nights I work late so I had it for dinner too. It was the first time I had made it. It was really yummy so I will definitely make it again! Recipe here (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/18253/broccoli-rice-casserole/?utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=allrecipes_allrecipes_13496862&utm_content=sidedish_verticalimage&utm_term=sidedish_201811&epik=dj0yJnU9TWpOMm85SnZURmdCOWN4SWNkamxsMzI3bzRxa y0wTzEmbj1uLXRUTk9US01tTkYwSTNvcmt5dnN3Jm09MyZ0PUF BQUFBRjFpaFIw).

That sounds delicious! A whole bunch of celery seems like a lot, though.

I love casseroles!

[RebelDyke]

i think tonight I shall have popcorn

[nycfem]

I had to work late, so I ordered food. I found a Mexican place that had vegan and vegetarian sections on the menu - always a find. I had a cheese jalapeno guac quesadilla and some vegan chili w/chips and pico de gallo.

[Mopsie]

I'm not a fan of onions or celery so I leave both of those out. I forgot to mention that!

[MrSunshine]

I grilled burgers laced with a lot of onion, garlic, green pepper and mozzarella cheese. Damn good!

[Stone-Butch]

It is a beautiful day here so bbq ribs it is. I love doing bbq when the weather is cooperative. Throw on some foil wrapped potatoes and its done.

[RebelDyke]

I ate peanut butter out of the jar, all day long. I was just craving it, is all.

Tonight I had a bowl of organic super-greens salad. No dressing. Just a bunch of greens (Organic Girl, salad greens).

a few pints of water. No ice, room temperature was fine with me.

Dessert? I did have a few end of the summer, freshly picked organic strawberries. So delicious.

[bright_arrow]

Tonight: Amy's frozen/microwaved nondairy bean burrito, frozen/microwaved broccoli and cauliflower. Chopped up peach and cucumber for dessert, followed by an apple and dry roasted peanuts.

I am so jealous!

I miss having Ethiopian food. We used to have a place here but it closed down several years ago. Your dinner sounds so yummy!!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I had gnocchi with sauteed veggies and I finished off the little bits of ice cream I had. Flavored water to drink.

[nycfem]

Ordered in veggie tempura and miso soup.

Instead of a grill I opted for an outdoor griddle. It stated you could cook 8 different ways on it. They weren’t lyin!
My sister has been trying to get mom to intake different forms of coconut oils to “help her brain”. So unfounded but it’s better than other oils. Mom ain’t buying that shit either so my sister gave up (finally!).
I decided today to figure out a way to get mom to consume the stuff and also use it and get rid of it lol Omg! I thru some chopped cabbage (figured I could just toss it if I didn’t like it) on the griddle with this coconut oil, which includes some Omega whatever, it was so damn good!
I’ve always liked cabbage but this oil completely changed the flavor of it. Best I’ve ever had and everyone devoured it. My sister ordered it from Amazon (healthish stuff) it’s in a slender black bottle and a clear liquid (if anyone wants to get down with this stuff).
I’ve been doing some experiments since this griddle came into my life and honestly I eat way better with it around lol.
It’s by Cuisinart and a smaller round version. (Again an experiment I could toss if it didn’t work out.
I think I’m on to something new and seriously delicious.

[Chad]

I am cooking up a storm. I made tuna casserole (really), I have not made it since the 1990's. I even had to look up a recipe, haha!

Also, sausage, pork chops, green beans, carrots, and German potato salad.

put together something or other canned food. Partner's cousin's truck 10-7 (dead). Have to find other transport in a village without buses or taxis.

Could find something better to dine on in a city.

[Mopsie]

Spinach and cheese ravioli. :)

[Gemme]

I have no working taste buds so obviously it was frozen pizza because most of them taste the same and I wouldn't be missing anything. Water to drink and I'm staring down a Tootsie Pop but I really like them and don't want to waste one. The debate continues....

[RebelDyke]

Chipotle tonight. cannot say it is one of my favorites, but I was out of town and it is better than cooking, or the old hasbeens.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I thru some chopped cabbage (figured I could just toss it if I didn’t like it) on the griddle with this coconut oil, which includes some Omega whatever, it was so damn good!
I’ve always liked cabbage but this oil completely changed the flavor of it. Best I’ve ever had and everyone devoured it.

Not that we need to be looking for excuses to pan fry foods, but . . . this is so good, I've just got to tell you about it. Use coconut flour in your batter for fish, and fry in coconut oil. It is _soooooooooo_ good. And it's paleo!

[GeorgiaMa'am]
