Spaghetti and pasta sauce and some green beans, I am learning and exploring more ideas, we had to purchase lots of fluids and stuff for my procedure on Friday.
 
To make the sauce, I roast a butternut squash in the oven. While that's roasting, I saute some onions and garlic in a pan until caramelized, then I blend it all together in my food processor with a splash of soy milk, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast, to taste.

I made a hint pan of roasted veggies: butternut squash, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and lots of whole garlic cloves. I finished it with some balsamic vinegar.

^ I had a sausage casserole for lunch yesterday and it was delicious.:drool:

I'm meant to be having curry tonight but I don't fancy it so I'm going to make a vegetable pasta as I have lots of veggies.

Snap ! I'm going to make wholewheat penne with courgettes/garlic and fresh plum tomatoes with evo and parsley.
 
I will be making a giant pan of roasted vegetables: potato, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, golden beets, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms, with a couple handfuls of whole garlic cloves.

I will probably eat two bowls of this, and am hoping that the Brussels sprouts and beets are enough to keep Husband away. MOAR FOR ME!
 
We had falafels, hummus, wilted spinach, yoghurt and cucumber in wraps. And some left-over corn on the cob. Falafels are a bit junky I think, but that's okay since we're junk-food vegans now.

How long does it take to roast something like this? I feel like it takes forever...maybe 2 hours or more...the veggies never seem to cook when I roast them. :(

It takes forever when I roast veggies, too. My problem is trying to cook too many at one time - my pan is usually filled to the top. When I just roast a smaller amount of something, and use a pan big enough that they're only one layer deep, it only takes half an hour or so.

Tonight's veggie roast has already been in an hour and the potatoes aren't done yet. :(
 
I get crazy impatient if the veggies I'm roasting are taking forever. I usually will end up just sticking them under the broiler instead. I love the black charred crispiness certain veggies get when broiled.
 
Ok, at least I feel better about it now. I'll have to try again without putting too many veggies in the pan. :)
 
I often steam vegetables and then toss them into a sauce. I dont do it to be healthy, it is more laziness because I cant be bothered organising them for the oven.
 
Also slicing them relatively thinly can cut down oven time.
