What are you having for dinner tonight?

[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 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!*

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. 🥑

Icy cold lemon water 🍋🍋🍋

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 .

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.

I don't know what you ended up doing but I was voting for ham and swiss with fruit.

As for me I had leftover enchiladas. And they were still yummy.

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

It's barely 7 a.m. and I totally want to make this... I have a moosewood cookbook somewhere I'm going to see if it has this recipe.

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

Wrangler:

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-

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.

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.
