I treated myself to a vegan pizza from Checkers Pizza, which is about 3 miles from my new home. It was pretty good! It was made with Daiya and had onions, peppers and tomatoes. The crust was a bit thick, but overall I was very pleased. Now, it doesn't hold a candle to Blackbird Pizzeria in Philly (all-vegan place with the best crust ever), but I was thrilled that I could get a pizza made with Daiya so close to my home.

Completely agree about Blackbird.

I'm just gonna make my frozen pizza. I feel no impetus or motivation to create anything from scratch tonight. I'll add herbs & spices & nooch, throw some baby kale on there in the last couple minutes.... Yeah, sounds like a plan. Back to the jazz & chardonnay.

I had a wholewheat tortilla (Asda) filled with kale, a Cauldron sausage, melted Sainsbury's Cheddar style cheese (melts beautifully) plus a few drops of jalepeno hot sauce. Delicious !

Strawberries & blueberries for dessert.

All the veg*an food that you can buy in the UK tastes fabulous.

I am having leftovers from lunch with my dad on Sunday: Spaghetti with seasoned olive oil and black olives. I so love this dish.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Vegan stuffed peppers! Prepped & blanched red bell peppers stuffed with a filling of cooked brown rice & homemade sauce (garlic, onion, diced tomatoes, lentils, garbanzos, baby spinach, baby kale, herbs/spices/nooch/etc.), and topped with Go Veggie shreds....

Can't wait to pop these in the oven when I get home!

A Quorn burger served with a grated cucumber salad, French beans, peas with vinaigrette and yeast flakes.
Strawberries and yogurt for dessert.
A glass of chilled Chilean Chardonnay.

 

[shyvas]

A bowl of casarecce with olive oil and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt.
A glass of Pepsi Max.

 

[Poppy]

We both ate lunch out today, so I think the plan is for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches down by the river. The river is just below flood stage, so it's very dramatic and wild!

 

[shyvas]

A Quorn sausage served with quinoa, French green peas,peas, kale with a drizzle of olive oil and yeast flakes.
A glass of Chilean Chardonnay.

Inspired by Poppy's focaccia I mad a similar one for dinner.

I used a blend of wholewheat, soya and white flour plus wheat germ. I also marinated fresh thyme and rosemary from my pal's garden in olive oil which I added before baking together with some Maldon sea salt. I served it with chickpea purée, a tossed batavia salad and some Violife cream cheese.

A glass of Chilean chardonnay.

Strawberries for dessert.

WOW, that looks fantastic! Great job, shyvas.

Thanks PTree. I took a couple of slice of warm, freshly baked focaccia to my pal downstairs. She had never tasted it before and liked it so much that she's going to place an order next time that she has guests over.

This could be a side business for you.

I'm not sure what I'm having for dinner. I'm wiped out from a busy week at work and at home, so I might dine out. I do have some lovely carrots and spinach from my friend's farm, though, so I could have them in a salad or sautee the spinach and put it over pasta. I could also roast the carrots.

I don't think that I would earn much as it took me a lot of time and electricity to make.

LOL, you would have to charge enough to cover that.
Now I want to make focaccia bread.
I think I am going to bring more pans and whatnot to my new place so that I can cook a proper meal there. I have been relying on my freezer for meals, plus some takeout for the most part, except for that lovely asparagus I got from my friend's farm. She had more available this week, so I bought another bunch. I will roast that tonight, and I think I will make sauteed spinach and put it over pasta. I am in the mood for wine, too. Must pick up some red today.

I wish I was there to help you. I would be your cook whilst you were doing all the logistics.

A bowl of casarecce with olive oil and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt.
A glass of Pepsi Max.

Thanks for bringing that up! I had to look up 'casarecce' and found it's the pasta I bought once form Barilla that I thought was best for a simple olive oil, nooch and garlic topping. I probably had it over fresh spinach to wilt. I'll put that on my shopping list

It is one of the best pasta shapes ever.

When you google casarecce, the first recipe that comes up is one for casarecce pasta with Italian sausage, pickled cherries and pistachios. That sounds divine to me and easily made vegan!

I like that shape too.

Tonight's supper will be hummus wraps, chilled Chardonnay and music outside.
