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

[Dropkick]

Had some potatoes that were sprouting and needed using, so I made a simple soup (simmered carrot, mushroom, onion, celery, broccoli, along with some frozen veggie stock to strengthen the flavor, a little black pepper, and mashed some of the potatoes to thicken). Had it with some of the tossed salad and rye toast. Very good.

Repeat

This was the last of my large tossed salad.
It lasted 4 days and only had an extremely small amount of browning today! -I credit this to my thrift store salad spinner allowing me to be much gentler with the greens and not having much bruising. I really like my salad spinner.

Tomorrow I'm likely going to "the land" (what I and my family call my property up in the mountains) so Subway is the most likely meal.

A TJ's masala burger and zucchini fries. Bf was not fond of the burger. I loved it.

Didn't go to the land today - going tomorrow. So I made another large tossed salad almost exactly like the one I made before (except for a lack of carrot tops and I used a red cabbage instead of green).

I heated some of my frozen chickpeas along with some frozen stewed tomatoes that I made from last summer's crop (and forgot I had until I was cleaning the freezer in the garage). I diced some onion and a couple cloves of garlic and added that to the mix. Mixed in some diced green chilies along with some oregano, cayenne, cumin, white pepper, and a dash of chili powder.

While that was simmering I baked a tortilla into a cup shape. cooled it and filled it with tossed salad. I topped that with some of the chickpea mess. Made a pretty good taco salad.

One Pot Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca - Yup, it's Vegan
I removed the capers and used green olives in the place of black. It needs a half cup of white wine in the sauce, that would put it over the top.

Are capers not vegan?!? Or you preferred the olives?

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Capers are gross. I am not a fan.

I love capers. I have them with oily roasted potatoes, diced onions, and garbanzo beans. Or I use crunchy toast instead of the potatoes. My Irish great- grandmother used to do a similar thing, but used salmon instead of the beans.

I had a sandwich with marinated tempeh (marinated in Frank's red hot, liquid smoke, and soy sauce--recipe in Isa Does It), dill pickles, Just Mayo, tomato slices, and a smoky almond cheezy spread made by a local vegan cheese maker. Delicious!

A rather large salad made with mixed greens, shredded carrots, onions, glazed pecans and craisins with hummus dressing.

I picked up a roasted vegetable pizza from whole foods. It is vegan. I hardly ever go to whole foods. That was my first time in a long, long time.


Edit- OMG, this is so damned good. I must do this once a month.

I've been promised creamy potato salad

My larder is low, and so is my energy, so I went with one of my easy meals - spaghetti.

When I don't feel like jazzing up the recipe or if I just want comfort food I make it pretty much like my Mom has for years (minus the meat).
Veggies: onion, celery, mushrooms, and carrots. The only herb I use is marjoram. Unlike my Mom I add garlic as I like the flavor it adds, also instead of using canned tomato sauce and paste like my Mom, I usually use tomatoes I've grown and preserved (frozen or canned). However I've used up all my homegrown tomatoes so instead used a can of stewed tomatoes.

Balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and tempeh with Italian spiced quinoa.

I'm sitting here staring blankly at the screen and for the life of me I can't remember what I had for dinner. I'm sure I had dinner but I have no recollection of either eating or preparing it.

The only logical explanation is that I must have been kidnapped by aliens, experimented on, and then fed a full meal before having my memory erased upon reinsertion into my home.
-I had an alternative theory involving left-overs and lack of concentration on what I'm doing, but gave it up as too far fetched.

Pizza!
