JDeere, I am still thinking about those chicken with dumplings you said you had for dinner last night. I must have some soon ... it has been years. Literally! That is sad!

We had pasta fagoul from Olive Garden with breadsticks and salad, sweet tea to drink

Sometimes I just cook for hours, playing with flavors, textures and taking risks. Some work...some don't. Today everything worked :)

I know vegan things don't sound appealing to most. Which is why I have found that by having cooking days, like today, I can find and/or create recipes that are a hit at home.

1) hand pie...with a "buttery" biscuit dough, homemade refried beans, pico de gallo, vegan cream cheese, avocado, salt and pepper. These got wiped out.

2) Rice and beans..this is a no fail here and will go well with the hand pie or "meatloaf"

3) Vegan mushroom and lentil meatloaf (it's all about the food processor for the right texture and seasonings for the right flavor combo for this one... kid approved)

4) black eye peas and black bean soup...inspired by India (onion, celery, black beans, black eyed peas, diced tomato, garlic, vegetable broth, coriander, bay leaf, dried red chili, ginger, garam masala, salt, turmeric, and cumin seeds). This will be for tomorrow..but my tasters say it's a keeper.

BLT Sub and it tasted great!!

Pizza, pizza, pizza! Living in NYC means 4 great pizza joints to choose from in a two block radius from home. Tonight I picked "Little Italy." Yummy!

I love that place!

I made a pot of beef stew today and it was so good,just right for this time of the year.

Had a protein shake. .. just not hungry

bowl of Captain Crunch with milk, large milk on the side because I did not get to enjoy my cereal milk when all the cereal was gone ... there were two sets of pleading eyes encased in fur-faces keeping tabs on my cereal milk ... yes, I split it between my two pooches ... they are so spoiled!!

Tonight I'm fixing skettie with meatballs, home made French bread.

bbq steak, potato and salad...eating Americano tonight.

I am having spinach lasagna and a salad. Also a cup of lemon chicken soup, but I will save that for tomorrow's lunch.
