What did you cook or Bake today? (2016)

[Moll Flanders]

OK, this was last night, but I'm having it again tonight, so I'm posting it here. I made a burrito bowl a la Moe's with brown rice, black beans, marinated tofu (in Italian dressing), tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, onions and homemade guacamole. I topped it with Daiya cheddar shreds, hot sauce and salsa. It was delicious!!

I would like to see a photo of that.

I would like to see a photo of that.

:0) I think I can arrange that.

This isn't from today, but this summer I managed to cross a few things off of my "I must make this soon" list: homemade potato gnocci, strawberry shortcakes from scratch (the same recipe my father made during my childhood), basil pesto, garlicky artichoke and potato soup, potato and broccoli dill soup.

Today I am picking up a CSA box filled with freshly picked veggies and fruits from the farm. Whatever I make next will be based off of those ingredients, kinda like the show Chopped! where the chefs open up a picnic basket of random ingredients and need to make a meal with them all. Heheh.

ETA: I also want to make corn chowder made from fresh corn on the cob. I hope I get corn in the basket today!

I am trying to do something with all the produce in the fridge. The CSA box is forcing me to cook with veggies whether I want to or not! And we just got MORE stupid yellow beans when I don't even like them. Gahh! I'll just make a four-bean salad next week.

Today I made a Greek salad inspired orzo pasta salad to use up the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion. We have a bunch of eggs from the local farm, so I'm going to make leek quiche. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, so I hope that H will eat them. At least the eggs are not from a factory farm.

I also need to make another batch of veggie shepherd's pie, which I will then freeze. Maybe I'll cut up some of the stupid yellow beans and add them to the filling.

Oh yeah, and I have a recipe for vegan cabbage slaw that looks really good. I need to do something with the head of cabbage we got last week, so I'll just make that.

I got more tomatoes from my friend, so today I made veggie chili and spaghetti sauce (the sauce is actually still cooking). I also made some quinoa to go with the chili. It was really tasty! Yesterday I made hummus and chickpea salad. I also took a bunch of the tomatoes and turned them into crushed tomatoes, which I will use for more sauce. I froze them in the portions needed for my sauce recipe. I was going to make black bean burgers, but I ran out of steam, lol.

I'm making this recipe for lunch today, except I don't have any ginger.

I got more free veggies over the weekend, including eggplant, so I am making another batch of eggplant balls. I had some eggplant leftover from the recipe, so I sliced it up and breaded it for lunch tomorrow. I will top it with Daiya mozarella and homemade spaghetti sauce. Yum. I wanted to make seitan, but I'm running out of time for tonight, lol. I think I will make some tomorrow night after work. I want to have buffalo seitan nuggets for Thursday night's football game (my team is playing).

Not cooked today, but taken them out of the molds today.

First try on top eight free vegan cheddar. It will be exciting to try to use them later.

Cool! Can't wait to hear your review!

OK, this was from last night: buffalo seitan nuggets and vegan nachos. Tonight I am going to have a seitan cheezsteak and maybe make some BBQ tofu for the weekend. And now that I have my new crockpot, I'm thinking baked beans.

 

[shyvas]

Nothing.

A batch of seitan. I try to make a batch every week which means that I can have delicious, protein meals without too much hassle.

I roasted a huge butternut squash and then made soup with it (it is delicious!). I have enough to make more soup, as I used only half the squash. I might make some sort of patties with the other half instead of soup just for something different. The soup is really good, though. I froze some of it, but I will be eating it all week, as it's my busy week at work. It will be good to have something delicious for the long days/nights.

It was late on Sunday and I needed to whip up some meals for the week with minimal thought. Into the crock pot I put red potatoes, eggplant, onions, leftover spaghetti sauce and some herbs and spices. That actually turned out reasonably tasty. I also made a roasted butternut squash casserole by putting diced squash, sliced mushrooms, onion and chickpeas into a baking dish, pouring over a sauce made with vegan chicken broth, almond milk and corn starch, and seasoning everything with garlic powder, ground sage, nutmeg, salt and pepper. I baked that for about 45mins in the oven. For something that I made up as I went along, it was actually quite delicious.

That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Perhaps I will make that with the rest of my squash. It sounds delicious!!

A huge batch of Lincolnshire style seitan sausages. Braised leeks.

Well, this is the creamy, chunky, "cheesy," vegan broccoli-potato soup I made Friday. SOOO NUMMY!!



A little paprika & green onion for garnish... and a leaf o' baby chard 'cuz it's perty.

 

[PTree15]

I made a batch of seitan last night along with sweet potato fries.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Just finished up the scalloped potatoes! They need to cool. Kitchen was quite dark by that time, awful lighting. They smelled friggin' amazing, though!
