Tonight, we went to my brother-in-laws house where he made stir fry. He and his wife were so thoughtful trying to accommodate both my son's long list of allergies plus my need for a meatless option. For me, they had lots of veggies plus tofu (which I love) AND veggie sushi. They even had options like broiled pineapple and/or coconut ice cream for dessert!

It really is nice when people around us are accommodating! :yes:

We've been invited for a Hanukkah celebration (a first for me ...) at my SIL's house on 1st January, and she's cooking a lot of things especially for us.
 
Grilled seitan with a brown gravy, potato pancakes and bok choy sauteed in olive oil and garlic.
Pumpkin bread for dessert (made by a friend :) ).
 
I think I'm going to make spicy bean wraps with stir fried bell peppers and red onion and some chopped avocado, lettuce tomatoes, hot salsa etc... I'm trying to be more healthy, but I really like wraps anyway. :)

Champagne to drink, not too healthy, but I don't want to overdo it.;)

Seitan steaks seasoned with garlic and deglazed with pomegranate molasses plus a few drops of Braggs. Steamed potatoes with sea salt and non dairy spread.

I'm going to have a yogurt with crystallised chestnut spread later on.

Tonight's meal is a bit of leftovers: the last of the squash apple bake, sautéed bok choy, a potato pancake, some takeout yellow veggie curry, and seitan sausages, which I made tonight. Accompanied by a glass of red wine. Delicious.

Have you posted the recipe for the seitan sausages here? Tell me where and I'll go find it so you don't have to do it again. :D
 
Yes, that is it, KLS! They come out great every time. I just love them.

For once, the search feature worked for me! It's going to be a great new year! Hahahahaha!
 
By the way, the recipe calls for white beans, but I have been using black beans and they come out just fine.
 
We were visiting family in St. Louis this past week, so I got to stock up at Trader Joes! For some reason, my town does not have one. After our drive back today, dinner for me was TJs Vegetable Bird's Nests. I love those things!

My very first dinner of the year ; slow cooked Boston style baked beans with smoky seitan served with hot non dairy, buttered granary toast.

A yogurt with vanilla, chopped almonds and stevia for dessert.

A mug of apple & cinnamon infusion.

I made a delicious curry! I also will write down my gripes about it and how to improve it for my needs. I mean, recipes seem to overcomplicate things, I'd like one I can rely on coming out more or less the same, and quicker.
Trader Joes now has reduced fat coconut milk. They said it was the same as their lite coconut milk w new packaging. I remember the lite milk just coming out as a liquid while this can had solids. It also had a BPA liner I wasn't happy about. I thought TJ's quit those?

Simple for me....dry toast and a little sorbet and almond milk. Between my sore throat, nausea, and stomach upset....and my partner has to have a colonoscopy on Wednesday and starting yesterday through today he can only have very low fiber bland food. no nuts/seeds, no fruits and vegetables, no beans, or whole grains/bread. LOL that's practically my whole diet. I have been feeding him white rice, potatoes, white toast. He's been complaining he is starving. He doesn't know just how much worse it's going to get, from someone who has been through this. Tuesday he will have to drink magnesium citrate and take electrolytes and stool softener to clean out his colon and won't be able to even have his bland food, only broth, clear liquids/juice, popsicles. And we have to travel Wednesday to the Twin Cities for his procedure as he refuses to see anyone up here. Sighs. What a crazy first of the year this is.

It's funny because I had black beans soaking when I saw the link for sausage! I did like them very much!
Seitan sure takes a lot of seasoning. I used no beef broth in these, fennel, garlic, sage, thyme, smoked paprika -and liquid smoke seasoned the beans. I rinsed out a bottle of jalepano ketchup too
