Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

First off I don’t measure...but I take some non-dairy milk, many half a cup...usually cashew but this time I used almond because I had one of those non-refrigerated boxes in the cupboard from when I was hoarding for quarantine and it was about to expire. I add about 1/2 tblsp of vegan butter/margarine, a tablespoon or so of raw cashew butter, season with salt/pepper/nutritional yeast/garlic and onion powder and microwave/stir until blended. Depending on the consistency and if it’s too thick, I like to add a bit of vegetable broth which I did this time and it added a nice flavor. That’s pretty much it. It’s my favorite non-tomato sauce for pasta.

Ah, that's uncanny as that's how I also make sauce for bakes. However, I use evo instead of spread plus some mixed seasoning (bought in the US) for extra flavour. I also don't use mesures and recipes for cooking.

Great recipe ! :p
 
aglio y olio with lots of veggies and greens and as I had a half can of lentils in the fridge, I poured the pasta water over them to heat them up and plopped them on top - heresy, I know, but it was delicious and added some nice bite and protein

Gaz Oakleys brisket. Amazing recipe I will be making again (and again), with tweaks on seasoning. I used too much Montreal seasoning so it was pretty salty, didn't need additional miso or Braggs

I had rave reviews last night for the pizza I made, not sure why it was so good as it isn't too different from what I regularly make.

Had two round whole grain flat pizza crusts from the store on which I put spicy pizza sauce and I always sprinkle a fair amount of garlic powder on top of the sauce. Mushrooms chopped finely, green onions chopped, pineapple, green sliced olives, mozz cheez shreds, Field Roast Italian sausage which I cooked first and let cool, then sliced and crumbled over each of the pizzas. Some sambal oelek hot sauce sprinkled on top just before eating.

I have come up with these perfect dinners that I eat every single week.
Monday and tuesday: boiled potatoes and one large carrot or two smaller ones seasoned with grill mix, onion and garlic powder. With those I eat two black bean patties.
Wednesday and thursday: mashed potatoes, occasional carrot and spicy tofu.
On saturday and sunday it's usually boiled potatoes, carrots and TVP that are seasoned with grill mix, onion and garlic powder with rye bread. But I might eat spaghetti or macaroni if I feel like it.
I get to eat my favourite foods every single day and those are sorta-kinda healthy. At least I get my vitamin C. And these are easy to prepare which is super important.

It looks like you're very well organised!:)
 
yesterday afternoon I watched Cheap Lazy Vegan (Rose) eat take out from a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant and it made me drool and jealous, we have no such options here like they do in Calgary (5 or 6 asian vegan restaurants)

so the best I could come up with was a soup with lots of carrots, parsnip, mushrooms, broccoli, and put in miso and gochujang and served it over 3 minute noodles - it was very good and satisfying but would love to have had what she had.....

I watched that too, it did look delicious, especially the spring rolls!

I have got the One Planet pizzas coming in our shopping delivery today so we will have half of a pizza each for dinner tonight and have the second one tomorrow night.

I got the Three Cheezly Margherita Pizza and the Vegan Hawaiian Pizza. It's the first time we are trying this brand but I have read good reviews. :heart_eyes:
