That would work, too. It could be like an alfredo sauce. I do miss those, though not the subsequent tummy ache!

My boss took our department out for lunch today to celebrate the holiday. We went to a Mexican place, which didn't have too much on the menu for me, but I did manage to have rice and beans (both were accidentally vegan, yay!), tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa, and a couple of sweet potato wedges. The food was OK flavor-wise, but it lacked any real spice. Still, it was nice of my boss to do that.
Dinner was leftovers: pizza and a broccoli salad.
Dessert was a slice of cranberry bread.

I have a bag of the meatballs in my freezer but I have not tried them yet. I almost made a meatball sub for dinner, or had them with the zucchini noodles and sauce, but decided to devour the 3 small artichokes I bought on markdown instead. Maybe tomorrow. I have an eggplant, I bet they would pair nicely with that and some sauce.
I figured I would try them out. I saw them today at the store, and they hadn't been there previously. It was a nice surprise. They could use a little work on the texture (a bit chewy, but I did microwave them and they said on the package that the best way to prepare them was to drop them in frozen into some sauce and then heat the sauce). That said, I will definitely get them again. They were yummy with the spaghetti. Mmm, a sub with them sounds delicious. Maybe tomorrow.

Toast with EB and peanut butter; tea
Buffalo seitan nuggets; Daiya cheddar with crackers
I'm on the fence about dinner. I should eat leftovers, but I'm not in the mood. I might make soup. I roasted an acorn squash yesterday, and that might make a nice soup.

I never make my own seitan. It always seems like such a time consuming process that even days where I have time to kill, I don't want to invest more than half an hour into making a meal. It probably isn't nearly as bad as I work it up to be in my head.

It really isn't. You need about an hour and a half from start to finish.
I love all the Gardein products, but when I'm making something like the nuggets, I like the homemade seitan because you can really season it the way you want.ETA: It makes plenty, as well, enough for three or four meals.

I don't get Gardein products over here. However, there is also the price factor to take into consideration. Making your own seitan works out much cheaper. I just store mine in a container in the fridge. You can also freeze it but I find that a batch will last me roughly a week.
Vanilla soy latte from Starbucks, orange
Broccoli salad (with dried cranberries, walnuts, red onions and a tangy Vegenaise-based dressing); hummus and carrots
Dinner will be a buffalo seitan sandwich on a sub roll with Daiya cheddar and sauteed onions and peppers (I never tire of this sandwich!) and maybe some BBQ chips or tortilla chips.
I think I will make something chocolaty for dessert, maybe some vegan chocolate mousse or some brownies.
