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

[PTree15]

Haha like what!?

I ended up cooking the vegan cheeseburger for lunch. So I’m not very hungry for dinner tonight. I’ll probably end up just having a cup of tea and some chocolate later.

All kinds of crazy sandwiches with triple stacks of bread (peanut butter, mayonnaise and cheese was a favorite ) or subs with things like potato chips, cheese doodles, pretzels or fries in them. Sometimes we'd have ice cream sundaes and sprinkle them with sugary cereals and semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts and then pour maple syrup or chocolate sauce all over them. Cap'n Crunch was a good one for sundaes, along with Fruity Pebbles.

Reminds me of crisp sandwiches that I used to have when I was a tot.

I just had a crisp sandwich for breakfast!

I finally got some soy curls. yay! There's not many places here in Vancouver to buy them. We have a vegan supply company here that gets them.

Anyhow, I am making beef and broccoli served over rice. It should be easy to make, and hopefully delicious.

I'm very excited to try some other recipes with these soy curls. Anyone have any favorites they would like to suggest? I don't have an air fryer, so that's not an option for cooking them.

We ordered from our fav restaurant again. I had cauliflower wings and nachos and my husband had garlic bread and a seitan burger and fries.

congrats! there are a couple of vegan youtubers who have recipes for them recently Sweet Simple Vegan, I think Simnett nutrition

I really liked the Korean BBQ one from Sweet Simple and you don't have to use exactly the same ingredients that they did but their method is a good one, before I picked up the air fryer I always used a frying pan on the stove and never a cast iron one.

Tacos, that's what we had for dinner last night - a 'smeat' combo of Gardein mince/black beans/onion/jalapeno with some cheez, pica, taco sauce and chopped lettuce/arugula. They were very tasty. Clementine and chocolate for dessert.

Tonight I'm going to have some of my Fall Salad (quinoa, roasted squash, kale, dried cranberries, pepitas and dressing) with one of the Quorn products I have in the freezer.

 

[Veganite]

I am blown away by these soy curls. I tried a simple beef & broccoli last night. It was delicious! So I thought I would be a little more decadent tonight...well, lunch first. I had to do a test run. haha.

I probably should get an air fryer. It would be much healthier for me. But instead, I deep fried the soy curls, KFC style. I just used a copycat 11 herbs & spices recipe from the Internet (see mix below).

I soaked my soy curls in a mock chicken broth first. I used a homemade plant-based buttermilk to pre-coat them. The coating was unbelievably close to what I recall KFC tasting like. I also added some MSG in mine. The stuff doesn't scare me and it does make things taste good. This was more work than I intended it to be, but the final outcome was amazing. I will definitely make this again. It would be great for non-vegan company.

I've been using my air fryer loads since I moved. It is very convenient and quick. I haven't used my oven once which is good as I haven't cleaned it yet!

I am going to try some jacket potatoes in the air fryer later along with some steak bakes and have it with steamed carrots and broccoli.

Same here. I hardly ever use my oven as electricity is even more expensive. I usually partly cook potatoes in the microwave before air frying them. It saves a lot of time and electricity.

 

[Raven]

Yes, I don't have a microwave so I was thinking of putting them in boiling water for a while before the air fryer. Do you wrap the potatoes in foil in the air fryer?

That's a good idea. No haven't tried with foil just a spray of oil.
