Yeah, it's refreshing. One of my fave restaurants has the best lasagna ever, and I'll usually grab several types of salad to go with it (it's one of those buffet, weight-by-plate places).People really want salad with lasagna? I always considered that just restaurant thing you did to be proper
We always had a salad as a side with most of our Italian meals growing up. I agree, it's refreshing.People really want salad with lasagna? I always considered that just restaurant thing you did to be proper
For dinner tonight: veggie chili with melted vegan mozzarella and a slice of Italian bread with Earth Balance.

Three falafels from Zitoon in a wheat pita that I thawed earlier, with hummus, baby spinach, tomato, couple o' pickle slices....
No cooking, only reheating, very minimal prep... I'm tired & sore, neighbors in the adjoining room last night were up late & they were loud. LOL

That sounds delicious. I also like veggie chili with sour cream. I usually serve some kind of raw salad as I like to eat lots of vegetables for my main meal. When I make cottage pie, I always serve a slaw made with cabbage, carrots and very often slice fennel.

My favourite restaurant in Brighton (Idyea) also serves their main course with a choice of either cooked vegetables and/or a raw salad plus a sauce/dip/salsa.
The restaurant is also a canteen style and is so popular you cannot get a table at lunchtime.
Mmm, I love fennel. Sometimes I have cornbread, rice or tortilla chips with chili as well. It's a good dish that you vary quite a bit.

I also like cornbread with chili. I always chop some jalapeno peppers into the mixture before baking.

Made a pizza topped with ocado cheddar style cheese, mushrooms & sweetcorn. Delicious

I've never seen Ocado cheddar style cheese ? Is it made by the Sheese company ?
I fancy having a pizza tonight. It used to be my signature dish every Saturday evening.

I'm not sure but it's in that same packaging that all the other supermarkets put their free from cheese in (Asda, Tesco, sainsburys) so I guess it could be! The ocado one melts really really well.

It sounds like it's the same as as it is manufactured in Scotland. It really is one of the best Cheddar style plant based cheeses ever.

Which recipe do you use ? I could have made some last night instead of having olive oil on mine as it wasn't a
very satisfying meal. I like to have plenty of protein when I make a meal.
I had planned to make an aubergine bake but came home late as I was at a pal's place.
It's a recipe a friend gave me, but I think he got it from America's Test Kitchen. It's got half a cup of peanut butter, quarter-cup of hot water, a clove of minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and sesame oil.

They have great recipes. I've used a few in the past... the one for banana bread was awesome... super flavorful & moist without being too dense.
