I had to go from work to my fiance's graduation, so I stopped at a Mexican take-out place near my office. I got their Alvarado salad which was lettuce and spinach, roasted red bell pepper, black beans, roasted corn and avocado. It was okay, but I found the veggies a bit bland, which was odd because this is a place that make a point of having numerous vegan options on the menu. Maybe it just needed a bit more seasoning. That and I think the girl put cilantro on top and I am one of those people for whom cilantro tastes soapy or metallic.

Yogurt raspberry ripple. ice cream for dessert.
 
Aubergine bake ( I really like this dish) with Sheese Cheddar cheese. A slice of soya loaf with a lamb's lettuce with evo vinaigrette and nooch.

I am roasting red peppers (on sale today and cheaper than the green ones!) and caramelizing some onions. That and green olives will go over pasta with marinara sauce; garlic bread; and a lovely malbec that is breathing at the moment. The windows are open, and I think I shall dine on the deck this evening (finally!!).
 
Leftover aubergine bake. I added extra Sheese cheddar and more oregano before reheating it. A slice of soya loaf with a tossed lamb's lettuce in evo/cider dressing with nooch.

A plate of berries ; strawberries, brambles and blueberries.

Rewind, repeat!
 
The fiance and I went to Chipotle. I got one of their bowls with brown rice, black beans, veggies, corn salsa and lettuce. He got a sofritas (seasoned tofu) burrito. Tasty business.
 
Last night I made pasta with a creamy spinach sauce. Not sure what I'll make tonight.

The same as last night. I also added some sliced avocado to the lamb's lettuce. The aubergine bake tasted even better than yesterday and unfortunately there is none left.
 
I always tell myself I will write the recipe but I never do. I made this up and I just kinda wing it each time.
In a food processor put a package of silken tofu and a lot of spinach, blend until good and combined. I normally add a dash of salt (I think the tofu has a bit of sweetness and the salt cuts it. I added kale once and it did the same thing. Add more spinach than kale, though. The kale will over take the flavor) and then some pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning mix. You can heat it like this if you want it really thick. (I have before!) in the photo above I added probably around 2 cup of vegetable broth. Poured in the sauce pan and heat over LOW! Heat while stirring. If it's too thin, stir in some flour (slowly, and I continuously stir with a wisk while adding it so it doesn't clump up)

If you make it with just spinach + tofu and seasonings and don't add anything to thin it down like veggie broth, you can also throw in an onion, and make a thick and creamy spinach and onion dip! Serve chilled or right out of the processor. Tortilla chips taste great with it!
