Vegetable curry xxx

 

[GingerFoxx]

Homemade soya yogurt with passion fruit and mango purée for dessert.

Do you own one of those fancy appliances for making yogurt, or do you use a different approach?

I had vegetable curry from the local takeaway. They also deliver vegan beer which is a bonus.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Garlic mashed potato with mushroom gravy.

I use an electric one which is a basic one and the yogurt tastes fabulous. You obtain a whole litre of yogurt for the price of a litre of milk.

I love chili mac. My mum used to make homemade chili for dinner sometimes when I was a kid. I remember it fondly.

Tonight, I am stuck at the office til 9pm, which means I spent the early part of my morning fixing all my meals for the day. Tonight's dinner will be roasted butternut squash, brown basmati rice, kidney beans, hummus, salsa, green bell pepper and spinach

Leftover mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, and a bottle of wine.

Hopefully consumed in the bathtub or in bed.

Yesterday I went on a double date. We went to one of my favorite local chinese/japanese restaurants. I had some steamed edamame, then my pescetarian friend and I shared a mushroom dish called "Fruit of the Forest" and a "spicy tofu hot pot" which had fried tofu, mushrooms, scallions and cabbage with black bean sauce in a clay pot. The good news is there was plenty of leftover and brown rice to take home.

Crockpot chili: diced tomatoes, kidney beans, hominy, carrot, winter squash, beet, turnip, onion, garlic, spices. Might steam some rice, or bake some potatoes to serve it with... or chili mac... hmmm...

I already ate. Garlic, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and spinach sauteed in olive oil, with seasonings, and served over angel hair pasta.

I filled my slow cooker with potatoes this morning, so dinner is a "baked" potato. One half has Tofutti garlic & chive cream cheese, the other half has FYH sour cream and Bacon Salt. I topped the whole thing with sautéed mushrooms and kale with garlic.

Roasted Brussels sprouts & butternut squash, rice with baby peas and tofu.

Just yesterday I saw a "recipe" online that said you could bake potatoes in a crock pot. I couldn't believe the idea had never occurred to me before. I have baked cake in my crock pot before, why not potatoes? Right now I am baking some in my toaster over to go with leftover crockpot chili for lunch, but if I were making a larger quantity and had more time, I would definitely try that approach

Tonight, I am not sure what dinner will be. My boyfriend's family is having an early birthday celebration for his older brother, since it's the only time between now and then we will all be around to do so. My attendance will be dependent on whether or not there is a vegan option at the restaurant his brother chooses. Worst case scenario, I will stay home and have leftovers from the weekend.

Do you put the potatoes in the slow cooker dry or do you add anything? I want to do this.

I also read it online, and couldn't believe I'd never thought to do it before. I have a habit of buying five pounds of potatoes, using maybe half, then the other half go bad. I think the slow cooker will be an excellent way for me to use up the other half bag to prevent them going to waste. Also now I have a bunch of leftover cooked potatoes for this week!

I put about a tablespoon of oil in the bottom, then used a paper towel to rub it all over the bottom and sides of the crock. You could probably use less oil. Then I added clean potatoes (I used red, and poked them with a fork like I'd do for baked). You can fill the slow cooker all the way to the top, so long as the lid still fits on properly. Eight hours on low. They had a really nice firm but creamy texture.

Thanks, I have half a bag of potatoes that I'm going to chuck in the slow cooker. Great idea, thanks!

I am definitely also going to do this. Thank you so much for the idea!
