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

[MadamSarcastra]

It looks like veggie rotini and some o' that homemade awesome-sauce this evening! Got purified water on now, with a splash of evoo & a bay leaf.... gonna let that do it's thing while I have a glass of chardonnay. Cheers!

Oh, and a side note.... I'm going to save my slightly used bay leaves & the pieces of leaves in the spice jar to deter pests!

"Bay Leaves. The bitter plant is often used for it's fragrance in cooking, but, bugs hate the scent. You can use bay leaves to repel flies, moths, mice, earwigs and roaches. It doesn't even matter if you don't have fresh bay leaf plants, you can use dried bay leaves to get the same results!" (from 7 Plants That Repel Insects)

Remember bad Chinese restaurant egg foo young? I made it with tofu.... I mixed a can of LaChoy (LaChoy makes Chinese food--swing! American!)(commercial..)chinese veggies with firm tofu and a tablespoon of corn starch. Used a non stick pan. It took forever to brown and didn't ever firm up even enough to flip. the rest of the 'batter' I added instant potato flakes, and that was a bit better. I'd been wanting to do for some time- it's totally off my 'what I'm craving' list now!
I have a pan of granola in the oven now. Too small a pan so I spilled oats all over trying to mix it. I do have a Yuenling Black and Tan beer, which I'd also really been craving, so it's all good

anyone make tofu-foo young?

I love Chinese food, so I'll have to try this. I would even love it without the thick brown "gravy" it's usually served with. Did you blend the tofu somehow before you mixed it with vegetables? (And I remember that commercial...)

Hmmm... I'll have to get some of that and use it on my romaine lettuce, so that you can enjoy the salad if I have you over.

A cucumber, tomato and seitan salad with chopped flat leaf parsley and evo vinaigrette plus yeast flakes.

An ear of corn on the cob with lemon, pepper, salt and non dairy spread.

A doughnut peach and some yellow/pink plums for dessert.

I went to the vegetable farm and bought lots of vegetables and fruit. They really are nicer than those at lid's.

You'll probably be better off if you use this recipe--
Tofu "Egg" Foo Yung - Chow Vegan
It definitely need more thickener than I realized! Mine was a mess

 

[shyvas]

Spinach bake made in the air fryer made with organic spinach, cashew cream and Daiya cheddar.

Berries and yogurt for dessert.

1/2 glass of chilled Chardonnay.

Went out and got a vegetarian sub for tonight's supper!

Cabbage rolls filled with mushrooms, onion, garlic and eggplant. Served with potato, carrot and a brown sauce I made from scratch. Very happy!

 

[PTree15]

A black bean burger on a roll with mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and a slice of Daiya cheddar; the last of the corn on the cob.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I'm a-thinkin' it's gonna be a sauteed vegetable wrap.



Got all the raw veggies (mushrooms, onion, red pepper) sliced & chopped, mixed 'em up with a healthy drizzle of evoo and some herbs, spices, & nooch.... threw all that in the fridge for later. I can just come home, put the pan on the stove, saute away, then add the tomato & baby spinach at the end.

Plus, this batch will make MANY sammiches.... that pan is really big. LOL

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Meh... on second thought....

I mildly sauteed the veggies (smells amazing!), but I'm getting tired, there's still tomato & spinach to add, a wrap to prep... plus the radio has taken a turn towards the slow & somber jazz **yawn** -- I'm calling it. It's leftover pasta tonight. I'll mess with this awesome stuff tomorrow. I wanna eat, game, brush, floss, read, sleep. In that order. LOL

Make it so.

I will be having an eggplant ball sandwich on a roll with sauteed onions and peppers, Daiya cheddar and homemade spaghetti sauce.

 

[shyvas]

A bowl of End of Summer soup (courgettes, shallots, cauliflower, tofu cashew cream) served with a sprinkle of lemon pepper, yeast flakes and a drizzle of evo.

Berries and yogurt for dessert.

 

[PTree15]

I'm thinking another eggplant ball sandwich. Last night's was delicious.

If I rightly remember you just scoop out 'balls' of aubergine flesh and fry them ?

It's this recipe veganized (I used panko, EnerG egg replacer and nootch flakes for the non-vegan items).
I actually bake mine, as I like the texture better.

It's a little bit of work to make them, but they are delicious and very much worth the effort.

Thank you; I'll have to try the recipe. I bought some panko at Waitrose when I was in the UK. It really does gives a much crispier and lighter end result than breadcrumbs.

I had air fried chips with cider vinegar and a red pepper and shallot omelette.

Greengages for dessert. They were sweet and juicy.

I had not used the panko with this recipe before, and I'm so glad I did. I so liked the lightness you speak of. Sometimes breadcrumbs can overwhelm the flavors, but the panko did not do that at all. I will be using panko from now on for this recipe..

Yes, my cousin in California always uses panko. We can't get it over here so I try and stock up when I'm in the UK.
