Toaster oven. :) Even though that thing gets crazy hot and generates heat. I try to put things directly under the broiler and cook them on a few mins. I have a Foreman grill that you would think would come in handy during the summer, but it smokes way too much.

What kind of food where you broiling/grilling Fade ? It is usually very fatty foods that create smoke ?
 
Went out for dinner with my boyfriend last night to celebrate my promotion and our third anniversary, which both happened on Thursday. It was one of the nicer Chinese /Japanese restaurants in town. I had seaweed salad and eggplant and spinach in garlic sauce. DELICIOUS. I don't know what too me so long to order eggplant at Asian restaurants, but now it's one of my favorite things ever.
 
My Foreman doesn't really smoke, I wonder why yours does and not mine (our my previous one. ) There are a bunch of different models though, that's probably it. I like to use less hot appliances too, in the summer. I don't have a toaster oven but want one. :)

It's the smallest model. I got it for $4 at the thrift store, but it was brand new. Still in the shrink wrapped package and everything.

Eggplant and zucchini. Maybe it was because they're so water dense?:shrug:

Congrats!!

I haven't ordered eggplant at Asian restaurants either. I have assumed it wouldn't be so great. Now I want to try it!

Tonight going to a bbq. So most likely dinner will be : grilled veggie burger and lots of grilled veggies.

.

That is strange because it is usually food that has a high fat content that produces smoke. Did you add a bit of oil to the vegetables ?
 
I made a pasta and raw vegetable salad with the leftover wholewheat penne and tofu mixture. I added some cashews, cucumber, grated carrots, diced fennel, diced tomatoes, evo/lemon dressing a some Cornish sea salt.

Berries, soya cream with stevia for dessert.
 
Homemade shepherd's pie! Made with ground tempeh (just chopped up roughly in our magic bullet), which was simmered in tomato sauce, fresh-off-the-cob corn, peas, broccoli, (vegan) worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic, cup of water, salt & pepper. The mashed potatoes on top are standard: salt & pepper, sauteed garlic and a bit of coconut oil - sprinkled paprika on top and then broiled for a few minutes for a nice crisp.

Admittedly, my dinner tonight is a bunch of IPA's, but this'll be good snackin' later!
 
Salad topped with sauteed onion, mushroom, bell peppers, leftover rice, garlic/eggplant spread and Daiya pepper jack shreds (I found a dozen packages at a local healthfood store that were marked $1.00 each because they are dated July 26/27, so I bought 5 of them)

Last night was: Microwaved potato (with Earth Balance), roasted asparagus, 1/4 of an avocado, and a Gardein Chik'n Slider (added lettuce, red onion, and fresh-from-the-garden sliced tomato).

Tonight will probably be the same. If I'm feeling decadent, I might add the tiniest dollop of Vegenaise to the slider.
 
"Kick a cold's ***" soba noodle, tofu, miso, veggie soup with bean sprouts and pickled jalapeno topper.
