Made a vegetable barley stew (basically it's beef barley soup from my pre vegetarian days without the beef or beef base and with less liquid).
I sauteed some onion, button mushrooms, and carrots in olive oil, then I added vegetable stock, minced garlic, and a diced potato. I simmered it for about ten minutes and then added a handful of pearl barley. I simmered this for 30 minutes until the barley was about done and added some chopped celery (I like a little crunch, so I didn't want it too cooked) and threw in some left over corn niblets I had in the frig. Last I stirred in a little flour too thicken it, and added some black pepper to taste.
I ate it over bread. It was a good very simple meal, and I'll be eating it for several days as I made about a 1/2 gallon of it.

Made a large salad yesterday with iceberg lettuce, romaine, red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, radishes, green onion, and yellow bell pepper.
Today I put some corn chips in a bowl, topped it with some of the leftover salad, some cheddar (I'm ova/lacto though I often avoid it), and then I topped that with some chickpeas I warmed up in a little bit of salsa. Made a great taco salad.

I had some tofu balls I baked today in a tomato based sauce I made a couple of months ago and froze in single servings. Plus a lettuce/carrot/cabbage/broccoli salad with a light sprinkle of lemon/oil dressing.

I had what they called a "Greek Salad" at the local pizza/taco parlor. It was basically the ingredients you'd have in a Gyro (I had them leave out the meat). It was actually pretty tasty (though not vegan, as it had Feta and Tzatziki Sauce).
-They also had Gyros but they were calling them "Greek Tacos" (I don't live in a very gastronomically enlightened area) .

Never had Quorn, don't actually know what it is - sounds like an old Marvel Comics villian.
Marvel team up! Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk vs. the Quorn!
I had a salad with mixed lettuces, spinach, cabbage, carrot, green onion, radish, brocolli, and cauliflower. I poured a touch of lemon/olive oil dressing on it. On the side I had some crimini mushrooms sauted with leeks, garlic, and a splash of burgundy, plus some leftover baked potato sliced, tossed with cajun spice, and fried in olive oil. For desert I had half a biscuit with the end of the plum jam that I made last season.
It was an easy good meal.

Today I was sore from working and my neck hurt (slept on it wrong) so I didn't put much effort in food.
Had left over minestrone soup (homemade) for lunch and left over mac and cheese with a few saltines for dinner (also homemade - the mac and cheese not the saltines - though I do have a recipe I've been thinking of trying)
