lunch was brown rice with broccoli with miso and ginger/garlic paste and slivered almonds
dinner was an ear of corn, lots of that good watermelon, and I really really want a cookie. I may make some :D
 
The plantains look great, shyvas! I am going to have tostones, corn on the cob and leftover smoked maple tofu. :)

It's been so long since i've had plantains I don't remember how they taste. I do want them now after seeing both of yours! :) There's a small Latino grocery by me that I've never been to, I'd imagine they'd have them.
I made a disappointing batch of bean/seitan sausages. Too much beans in relation to gluten, even after I tried to add more as I kneaded. Good news about them though, is I found using the Instant Pot on steam is great!
I'll so something with them. I got a fresh cauliflower and will make buffalo roasted cauliflower

I love plantains. However, I have never tasted them fried. I must make a note of making some.

I also had corn on the cob last night. I may make some marinated tofu with smoked paprika and various other spices. It really does work wonders for bland tofu.;)

The tostones are nice and crispy, and you can make a variety of dips for them. In Puerto Rico, the dip was mayonnaise-based so I had to eat them plain, but I just put a little salt and pepper on them. They are considered appetizers in P.R. Last night I had them with a sauce of Vegenaise, ketchup and minced garlic. I so agree on marinades for tofu. I will be making the smoked maple one again. It was delicious!

I see. Mine are also nice and crisp but air fried. I'm not a fan of dips especially mayonnaise or ketchup. Just not too keen.
I like mine with either food or just with tequila or shandy. They certainly are very easy to make.
Yes, lots of marinade for tofu….:p

The dip I made was supposed to be like the one in P.R., but next time I will make one that is spicier.

Oh boy, that is a toss-up.... I could have another tasty stuffed pepper, but I also just made a super-nummy creamy roasted pepper/tomato-vodka sauce (with additional peppers, mushrooms, & baby kale).... I guess it all depends on whether or not I feel like making pasta when I get home. :rolleyes:
 
^^^^ Not a toss-up tonight. ;) I've got that nummy sauce left, plus extra ancient grains pasta I made last night (with chopped broccoli)... I tossed it with olive oil & bagged it. It's not much but I'll also have a stuffed pepper half. Hell, yeah.... :cool:

Got a bit of prep to do, time to get to it! :chef:

We bought me a new top and a jacket. And in order to celebrate it we came to the cafe. I ordered grilled aubergines and other veggies, baked sweet potatoes and a bottle of red semisweet wine:lick:

Well, I put my last two stuffed pepper halves in my tiny skillet, covered gently with foil, reheating them in oven.... So.. those. :p

I've got a touch of that pasta sauce (roasted pepper/tomato/mushroom/etc. goodness)... that and some nooch shall complete everything. ;)
 
I've decided it's gonna be vegan mac-n-cheese tonight, after that exquisite cashew-cheese sauce I just made. :)

I want to mix in the rest of my frozen chopped broccoli, plus some diced tomato... so I'll have to buy tomato.... and some pasta. :p
