That looks divine, shyvas. I must try making the mug cake. Is that made in the oven or in a microwave?

Well, it is usually made in the microwave but I made mine in the air fryer.

My microwave is really old, so I was just wondering. I still might try it, though. It's nice for when you don't want to make an entire cake.

You can do mug cakes in the oven, just takes a bit longer.

Well, last night I ended up eating half a Simple Truth Roasted Vegetable pizza. I let all the flavors in my pasta sauce mingle in the fridge overnight, cooking it some more today, low & slow, and holy crap, it smells divine! Also made some angel hair pasta in advance (so I don't have to cook tonight), drizzled some evoo & sprinkled with Mrs. Dash, threw it all in a plastic bag for later....

Had a VBites gourmet fish style steak with sweet potato chips. Absolutely loved it! Can't believe I haven't tried their 'fish' before now.

A warm baby potato and cauliflower salad with vinaigrette, nooch and a sprinkle of Cornish sea salt.

A kiwi, strawberry and banana salad.

I can't wait for leftovers. Yum.

Picadillo.

Oh yum how do you make it?

 

[SuicideBlonde]

This is the best I can come up with for a recipe. Not authentic.
1/2 cup cheap red wine
1/2 large white onion (chopped)
3 small bell peppers diced (or one large, I like to buy bags of small peppers)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 package veg chorizo
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 16 oz can of peeled tomatoes
about 3/4 cup sliced green olives with pimentos, not packed
1 heaping tsp cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder


Cook the red wine down for like 5-10 minutes with spices on low. Add garlic, onions and peppers and cook for 8-10 more minutes. Add soy chorizo and cook for about ten minutes. Add tomatoes and rinsed black beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add olives and cook for 15-20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Something like this. I switch it up a lot, as I don't use a recipe. This time I put balsamic vinegar not wine, bocca crumbles and not chorizo and added some mole spice I bought from the spice shop at the beach.

Something like that. I didn't measure. Less vinegar.

Thanks! I like vague recipes, don't worry, as I change therm or adapt to what I have around the house anyway.

Totally craving picadillo!

Braised cabbage with seitan cooked with lemon pepper and served with a drizzle of evo.

Cinnamon flavoured apple crumble made with ground almonds and oat flour served warm with soya cream. Made in my air fryer.

^ I was thinking about cabbage today as I was going to buy some for St P's day.

I'm having a LM pie with steamed broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn with gravy.

 

[hungryraccoon]

VBites 'fish' style steak, salad & new potatoes.

 

[shyvas]

Warm potato & cauliflower salad with finely sliced seitan, vinaigrette and nooch.

I will be having the quinoa and chickpea pilaf (Veganomicon recipe) with sauteed onions and peppers and steamed carrots. The pilaf came out OK, but it seemed a bit bland, which is sometimes the case with Veganomicon's recipes. The good part is that I am sure I can fiddle with the spices and add a bit to it veggie-wise to get it more to my liking. That said, it was still pretty good, and I would make it again. I put a few green olives in it yesterday, and that improved it a bit.

 

[shyvas]

Wholewheat, organic macaroni served with a sauce made with finely chopped sautéed onions, courgettes, tomatoes and seitan.

Strawberries & kiwis for dessert.

 

[hungryraccoon]

leftover vegetable & potato jalfrezi with rice.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I made a coconut chickpea and cauliflower curry with basmati rice.
