I had a bit of stir fried veg incl. broccoli and black beans in taco shells, brown rice, guac and salsa.
I'm having the spicy Thai peanut sauce with pasta again. So tasty. Banana-nut butter ice cream for dessert.
We had veggie burgers (Amy's California for me) and roasted butternut squash, both of which Cowboy and I adore. Mr. Poppy also had roasted fingerlings.

I should try that sometime. I made a tomato-fennel soup one year, and it was quite good. Aside from that, I haven't cooked with fennel at all. I keep meaning to try it again.

Today I made BLTAs, or BALTS: veg-bacon, avocado,lettuce, tomato sandwiches. Ok, so that's not really cooking, but I did have to pan-fry the bacon. I'm planning to try a new Cesar salad dressing recipe tonight.
I made a wrap with pesto, spinach, carrots, red onions, vegan mozzarella, pickles and Italian dressing. I had a handful of chips with it as well.

Oh wow, i've just been thinking about fennel yesterday evening (not only),- that i'd like to make something with decent quantities of it.
(I mean, not common dill, but fennel bulb, (this white thing), or how is it called...) I've never tried fennel(!), except in the medicine, haha, but for some reason i've always been skeptical about adding the bulb to my foods. How did you like the taste of your "final product"? Was it worth it? Wasn't the taste too strong? Didn't it cover up the flavour of the other ingredients? And, in general, what did it taste like?
Thanks in advance.

Got some Enchiladas baking in the oven & making some guacamole to go with it.
In my experience, the fresh bulb doesn't taste nearly as strong as fennel seeds. I'm not a huge fan of fennel seeds... they taste too much like black licorice ... but the fresh bulb was fine in the soup. I could still taste the tomatoes and everything else. The recipe was a little too labor-intensive, so I won't make that again. But I'll cook with fennel again. Not sure how to describe the taste, since it was mixed in with other stuff.Oh wow, i've just been thinking about fennel yesterday evening (not only),- that i'd like to make something with decent quantities of it.

The Cesar salad dressing turned out really well, as did the homemade croutons. Next time, though, I will buy lettuce that is pre-washed and ready to eat. It was too much damn work to wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Or maybe I should invest in a salad spinner.
I'm planning to make baked beans for tonight along with some leftover brown rice and maybe some steamed or baked veggies.

The salad spinner is great! I use mine all the time. One of the best kitchen purchases I've ever made.
Yum on the baked beans.
For supper tonight, I'm having roasted butternut squash soup with a spinach salad topped with Italian dressing.

I'm cleaning out the leftovers. I have two kinds of pasta and I'm topping them with leftover Brussels sprouts and green beans with a little olive oil and pepper.
