My boyfriend and I are planning to go to his friend's house for dinner. They have been friends through school for a while, but I've never had a chance to meet the guy. His friend is an omnivore but recently purchased a vegetarian/vegan cookbook to expand his horizons. I am planning to make spinach/tofu filled lasagne rolls (like stuffed shells, but rolled up in lasagne noodles instead) I am not sure what we will be having with it. The joys of potluck!

Dinner turned out well. My lasagne rolls were a hit. The recipe (i.e. my improvisation) made ten, I had one the the guys each had two. Then I left 3 of the leftover ones with my boyfriend's friend, and gave the other two to my boyfriend. We had them with steamed artichokes (yum!) and some avocado. Then for dessert my boyfriend pureed some cooked sweet potato with pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, a little peanut butter and maple syrup (he usually uses nutella, but we did not have a vegan version) and topped that with some coconut and diced pecans.

^I've made that a few times.:)

I was reading a vegan baked ziti recipe yesterday and I think I might make it for dinner tonight.
 
Scrounged up some assorted things: three Whole Foods chik'n nuggets, some roasted asparagus, and some leftover garlic and kale mashed potatoes. (I think those potatoes were a week old, but that's ok.)

Dessert: Mini strawberry rhubarb pie. :)
 
Today we had giant burritos at chipotle! Last night I attempted a vegan "pot roast" for the first time:

That looks interesting - I love carrots and onions and potatoes. Was it yummy?

Tonight we had sun-dried tomato pasta with spinach marinara, sauteed mushrooms, a baguette with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing for dipping. And wine.

The vegetables are amazing. It was seasoned perfectly, I think. The roast tasted great but had a really weird texture. It was from "vegan on the cheap"
 
^Mmm couscous sounds good! Ihave some Kidney beans to use tonight perhaps Ill make veggie and bean couscous :D

On saturday I was meant to have a date with M at an American themed Diner and have chili fries...but the weather decided flooding was a better idea so we stayed in and stuffed our faces on the sofa instead. I had instant noodles with vegetables mixed in, almond milk hotchocolate(ginger flavouring) and crumpets....later I gave in and made my own vegan chili fries with smoked vegan cheese on top, dairyfree icecream with shell sauce for afters...I was very full!
