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

A big salad with romaine, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, black beans, cucumbers dressed with mayo and Renee's Sweet Onion Dressing.
I threw the rest of the can of drained black beans into a large pyrex cup and blended it up with my immersion blender along with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, enough vegetable broth to make it creamy, to make my quick and dirty version of refried beans, will use some of that in a layered dip tonight with the beans, guacamole, Earth's Own sour cream, Wild Salsa, and have that for a snack with some Tortilla Chips.
 
rice, steamed broccoli, Gardein Chicken Tenders w/sweet chili sauce

I don't know why but when I eat broccoli it almost immediately makes a knuckle on my finger inflamed for about 20 minutes or so and my digestive system does not like it either, so weird. I guess I have to stop eating it.

Last night I made what I think was my first sheperds pie. I always talked about it, but ended up just mashed potatoes & gravy and a side of veggies. It really was much better together and baked!
I used the soy curl crumb parts I had separated and added to the mixed veg blend I simmered in water with BTB no chic'n after they cooked. I added about 2 T corn started mixed in water at the end. Topped with garlic mash and baked at 400 maybe 20 min
 
Pita wraps with spinach, tomato, vegan feta and vegan bacon.

I finally made that vegan bacon from the seitan leftovers I have from yesterday. I flavoured it with maple syrup, liquid smoke, maggi sauce, BBQ spices, salt and pepper, and it was very good, but man is it starchy! The seitan turned out OK, but that washed flour method is much more work compared to vital wheat gluten.

Those flavours sound amazing!

Sounds fantastic.


I made some pork flavored seitan cutlets last night. I am going to pan fry them with zucchini, onion.garlic and spices.
 
took the last of the frozen beans out and made a huge pot of tomato/veggie/bean soup - right to the brim - carrots, celery, onion, parsnip, frozen corn, frozen kale, huge sweet potato, couple of regular potatoes - lots of spices, boullion, gochujang, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice at the end - tons left over to freeze again

I made some stuffed bell peppers last night. The stuffing was made using cooked red lentils, cooked white rice, sauteed garlic & onion, portabella mushroom stems & gills, fire roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes. I did spice the mixture up, mildly, with some sriracha sauce. I topped it with a thick cashew based cheeze sauce and a few Daiya Parmesan shreds on top. It baked to absolute perfection. It was delicious and relatively nutritious.

It looks like leftovers tonight, as I made a lot of the filling. Luckily I bought lots of bell peppers. It was cheaper buying a bulk bag of them as apposed to a couple separately anyways. I can't believe the price tags on some items now.
