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

[Moll Flanders]

I made up a batch lot of different soups last night, black bean, leek and potato and red lentil and carrot. I'm probably having the lentil one for supper tonight.

home-made "bacon" baked beans

Do you have a recipe?

 

[AeryFairy]

Do you have a recipe?

It's this Tom Kerridge recipe, and I used redwoods bacon rashers instead of meaty bacon. I also fried the bacon with the onion and garlic, instead of before, and only used one tin of tomatoes and half the red wine vinegar and sugar. They were really good

I had a pinto bean/sweet potato chilli with organic brown rice last night. Tonight's dinner was a broccoli and pea soup.
An orange for dessert.

 

[RascalsMom]

I have 16 bean soup in the crock pot.

 

[KLS52]

I didn't even know there were sixteen different kinds of beans!

 

[RascalsMom]

I'm not sure that I did, either

 

[RascalsMom]

It was a bag of mixed dried beans called 16 bean soup mix. Here's from the bag:
Pinto beans, black eye peas, barley, navy beans, large Lima beans, small white beans, red kidney beans, baby Lima beans, great northern beans, speckled Lima beans, green baby Lima bean, black turtle beans, whole green peas, yellow split peas, pink beans, cranberry beans, small red beans, green split peas, lentils.

That sounds nice. I wish I could find a wider variety of beans over here. Barlotti/pinto beans are my favourite ones.

I got some Amy's Spanish Rice and Red Bean Soup with my last Tesco order, so I have been having that with a couple of margarine sandwiches for supper recently. Nice and fairly healthy I suppose. Had some Hula Hoop crisps with that last night too.

 

[shyvas]

I made sauteed soya mince with garlic, shallots and mushrooms. Fried brown rice and steamed flat green beans with some hot chipotle sauce.
Soft raspberry and yogurt ice cream for dessert.

 

[RascalsMom]

I want to come to your house for dinner - there's always yummy dessert!

Can't possibly live without dessert.

You and your lovely pets are most welcome.

16 beans -I love that idea! I've never heard of some of them, like cranberry beans. I made bean chilli for my parents last night who are vegan-sceptics and my Mum was terrified I was going to poison her by giving her under-cooked kidney beans.

Thai red curry tonight, the first time I've ever used seitan. Went down well, even with omnis. Made some vegan ice cream for pud with stem ginger and chilli -yum!

 

[PTree15]

I am going to have pancakes with maple syrup and home fries.

REAL FOOD at long last. My first meal in three days ; a huge tofu and shitaske mushroom burger, potatoes cooked in my fast cooker, flat green beans with vegan butter and Cornish sea salt.

Fresh strawberries with soya yogurt/cream with a sprinkle of chia seeds, for dessert.

I'm going to see if Amazon has that!

 

[RascalsMom]

I found it at Kroger in the dried bean aisle

Yes, that's where I find it, and it's pretty cheap too. One brand has a fake ham flavor spice pack that's accidently vegan and pretty good.

 

[KLS52]

No Kroger's here.
Amazon has it. I may try it or Bob's Red Mills 13 bean one.

That's not bad ; 13. I hope that you're not superstitious !
