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

Leftover ‘millet, quinoa and buckwheat pasta’ with home-made vegetable sauce- topped with Dijon mustard and nutritional yeast. For dessert: ‘mashed banana mix’ (with nuts, dates, dried coconut flakes, dried berries, cinnamon, almond butter and tahini) plus one persimmon. All very good

I think I am making marinated portobello mushroom steaks with sauteed spinach with garlic and onion.

I did and it was fantastic. I had the mushrooms marinating overnight.

Last night I had another large salad as a main dish. It had leafy greens and herbs, some tomatoes and green peppers, cucumbers, chickpeas, quinoa, walnuts and barberries. The dressing was a mix of balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, tahini and a little nutritional yeast (picture below). It was delicious

I made Sweet Simple Vegan's Easy Vegan Philly Cheesesteak (made with soy curls) with a few tweaks because I didn't have veggie beef broth or sub rolls (I used a flour tortilla, so it was a wrap). I used veggie chik'n instead and it still came out delicious.

The quick cheese sauce was good, but I think it needed some hot sauce or garlic or something. I'll add to it the next time I make it, as this recipe is a keeper. Also, the caramelized onions in the recipe sort of disappeared into the soy curl mix, so I think next time, I will make extra to put on top of the soy curls.

I also had a side of steamed broccoli.

The day before yesterday I cooked barley (not the pearl variety) - excellent whole grain and a good substitute for white rice; I also cooked pinto beans. So I had barley and pinto beans for dinner, with some leafy greens on the side. For dessert I had my ‘mashed banana mix’ (together with nuts. dates, dried berries, dried figs, dried coconut flakes, cinammon, almond butter and tahini). All very good.

Yesterday I made another large salad as a ‘main dish’ -it had leafy greens, pinto beans, quinoa, barley, herbs, capers, cucumbers and tomatoes (photo below); later on I added avocado to the salad. The dressing was a mix of balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, tahini and pepper. Delicious.
For dessert: one grapefruit, a persimmon and some dried figs and dates. Very nice.

last night we had a veggie burger from M&Ms (no bun), lots of boiled potatoes, boiled brussel sprouts and gravy on top and the last bit of chocolate cake

I was busy cooking today. I had a late lunch which served also as my dinner: elbow macaroni with fresh kale, topped with a bit of canola oil (and chick peas, which I had cooked the previous day). Note to self: elbow macaroni can be cooked in a slow-cooker, at least if the water is pre-heated- but it's not ideal. If I'm hungry tonight because of my early dinner, I'll have a relatively-low-carb snack.

Yesterday I had another ‘large-salad-as-main-dish’ dinner. Besides the leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, pinto beans and barley, I added boiled baby potatoes, & beetroots; crushed walnuts, onions, avocado and dried barberries. For the dressing I poured some balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, pepper and tahini- and mixed it all very well (so that all the ingredients, including the green leaves, are well coated with the dressing). It was a substantive and ‘hearty’ salad, with a nice mix of flavors and textures- chewy, crunchy, creamy- and delicious.
For dessert: I had a mandarin and a persimmon; and a few dried figs. Very good.
