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

Yesterday I made ‘spiced’ oat flatbreads, baba-ganoush and a hearty lentil stew, as main dish (photos below)

The stew was oil free, with no added salt, and it included some leafy greens, carrots and herbs; I poured the stew on top of a mix of quinoa and farro, and garnished it with Italian basil. The baba-ganoush was also oil-free, with no added salt, and garnished with Italian basil and pine nuts.

For dessert: two persimmons and a small cup of my ‘Mashed banana mix’ (I.e. mashed banana mixed with nuts, dates, dried fruits, topped with cinnamon, almond butter and tahini).

One of the nicest dinners I have had this fall.

Yesterday’s dinner:

Main dish: A large ‘hearty’ salad - including leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, dill, quinoa, lentils, potatoes and peppers. The dressing was a mix of mustard, nutritional yeast, tahini and blended lemon. I have lots of leftover salad- so I will have extra servings tonight.

Side dish: baba-ganoush spread on green leaves -e.g. Swiss chard leaves (for a lighter side dish, I sometimes like using leaves rather than bread to spread the baba-ganoush on -very nice)

Dessert: a cup of my ‘mashed banana delish’ (a mix of mashed banana with nuts, dried berries, dates, cinnamon, dried coconut flakes, almond butter, and tahini). Plus: a small orange and a small piece of apple.

All the courses were very nice :-)

Refrigerator soup that my mom made. It was made with a tomato-based broth and had pasta, asparagus, onions, carrots, white beans, green beans and tomato chunks. It was delicious.
 
Main dish: large ‘hearty’ salad (leftover from my previous dinner);

Dessert: ‘Mashed Banana Delight’ (mashed banana mixed with nuts, dates, dried berries, dried coconut flakes, cinnamon, almond butter and tahini- all in a mug)

It was all very good.
 
Last night I also had pasta. The label in the package read ‘Sprouted Moong Fusilli pasta’ -but, when I checked the fine print, I realized it contained rice flour as main ingredient :-0 (that is why it is always good to take the time to read ingredient labels when buying processed food, and not buy in a rush). The sauce was made with half-a-jar of tomato purée plus mushrooms, vegetables, dried chilies and herbs -and mustard. I sprinkled nutritional yeast (‘nooch) on top.

Despite the rice flour surprise, it was very nice. I have leftovers - which I will use for dinner next week. Next time I decide to cook pasta, however, I will try to get proper bean pastas - without the rice flour - or whole grain pasta..

For dessert, I had my ‘mashed banana mix’- with dried fruits, dates, cinnamon, and almond butter. It was also nice.
