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

we had a late afternoon snack of air fried chick peas - a bit of chili oil, lots of spices - they were okay, not spectacular

so for dinner we had hummus/hot sauce and cucumber/celery/bell pepper sticks, green onions, green olives, cherry tomatoes and a few blue corn tortilla chips

@PTree15 Corn on the cob is great! I've grown heirloom-variety sweet corn, and saved some seeds from last year. Sometimes, when I've waited too long to pick corn, I let it ripen and dry completely- then I can plant the seeds. (It's good to rotate crops you grow on a certain plot of ground, but my garden isn't really that big, at least not yet- so for now I grow some things on alternate years.)

But another thing you can do with completely-ripe-and-dried-out sweet corn is to parch it. You rub the dried kernels off the cob and put them in a popper; they don't puff up as much as popcorn, so you have to be a bit careful they don't burn- but they're quite good!- just a bit crunchy and a bit sweet- reminiscent of Corn Pops(?) cereal.

That is so cool about the dried kernels. Corn on the cob is probably my favorite thing to eat in the summer. :)

Tonight I'm going to have a chickpea tomato salad (my mom found an awesome, simple but very tasty recipe) with Cheap Lazy Vegan's feta tofu.

The chickpea salad has two cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed; a bunch of cherry tomatoes sliced up; some diced red onion; and fresh chopped parsley (oh, and I'll add some fresh spinach for more greens). The dressing is olive oil, lemon juice, dried parsley and oregano, minced garlic and a little salt and pepper. It was so delicious! So I'm going to add the feta tofu to it.

ETA: I found the salad recipe :). Here is the link in case anyone is interested.

I love corn on the cob so much! There is one farm in particular that is known for great corn, and while I dislike the grocery that sells it, I will go there for corn! I had one tonight

@Tom L. I actually kinda like what people refer to as 'cow corn'. I would love to try the 'parched' corn :)

They just didn't get crispy and so they were a bit disappointing as a substitute for chips... the taste was very good.

Last night we had w/w penne with garlic, fresh basil, tomato, mushroom, onion, kalamata olives - it was delicious.

hmmm I think I forgot to put in Friday night's dinner - pizza and it was yum - tried the new Daiya, we usually use Violife - it was definitly meltier and the taste was okay... I think we have become use to the less melty type and so this was almost a bit too melty, if there is such a thing

last night we had spaghettini and meatballs with spinach, arugula, fresh basil, garlic, onions and mushrooms mixed in

hummus/hot sauce, cucumber sticks, bell pepper sticks, stuffed olives, and a side of pitza... that is my new invention of using whole wheat pitas as a pizza based - it's a simple snack with some leftover pizza sauce, fresh basil, spices and some cheez shreds - I love it because it gives you that pizza taste without all the work or the calories

Tofu and veg Thai green curry with rice. Inspired my the cooks at my work place, I have taken to adding just a little touch of Alpro cooking cream as well as the coconut milk when I make Thai curries. I have also learned to use the salt water technique together with deep-frying when I do tofu. It comes out chewy and juicy that way.

Pesto pizza from the local restaurant tonight. I saw on IG that they are stopping it over the autumn and winter so we may as well have it while we can!
