Whatcha Makin'??

[MadamSarcastra]

Prepping produce for more sauteed veggie sammiches. Like a dumbass, I forgot to get red onion, so I'm gonna see how the matchstick radishes pan out.

I have one avocado that I want to turn into some sort of non-browning spread. I think some herbs & spices, plenty of nooch, some lemon juice, and little bit of leftover whipped cream cheese might make one hell of a tasty spread.

I'd better get a move on... it's after 4:00 already!

A double batch of spicy, "cheezy" vegan black bean dip.

 

[GingerFoxx]

I just made a tasty eggplant-based queso soup/bisque, which was a spinoff/adaptation of this dip/sauce recipe I have used in the past: Vegan Queso Dip | Minimalist Baker

I sliced and roasted a whole eggplant and several large cloves of garlic. I pureed that in my blender with some vegetable broth, then stirred in some almond milk, nutritional yeast, cumin and chili seasoning and a jar of salsa. Now I am cooking some rice in my trusty rice and veggie steamer to add into it. Very yummy! I would probably add corn and black beans too, if I had any handy.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I feel like making something, but my options are extremely limited.

Well, I have one can of low-salt cream of mushroom soup left from X-mas, plus a LOT of frozen green beans left from the Cook-Fest soup, and I still have a bunch of French fried onions. I guess I'll make a casserole... except I don't have any sort of milk or broth.

Damn, I really need to go grocery shopping.... LOL

Eh, on second thought.... maybe I'll make this tomorrow.

I am going to make chickpea cutlets today. I haven't had them in a while.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Got the apron on, my Zyliss (manual) and Hamilton Beach food processors are at the ready.... gonna make more sauteed veggie sandwich fixins and, hopefully, some fairly smooth roasted red pepper/walnut spread.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ooooh, I can already tell after pulverizing the toasted walnuts that this spread is gonna be WAY smoother than the stuff I made with almonds. YAY! Already added nooch & spices... now ready for the rinsed/drained roasted peppers & evoo. Then I've gotta wash/prep/chop/sauté the veggies....

I'm hoping to get up the energy to make this today. I have all of the ingredients.

[MadamSarcastra]

Just made some KILLER red pepper/walnut dip (mentioned above)... christ, is that ever good!!


Crapola, I really need to get hustling on the veggie prep! My folks went to a matinee and it's probably more than half over... they're picking me up afterwards & dropping me at Jer's before they go to dinner. Better get movin'!!

Want. That sounds awesome.

I have been productive today. I've made roasted butternut squash soup and veggie pot pie (with broccoli, carrots and peas). Next up will be zucchini cakes, chickpea salad and maybe seitan sausages. I will freeze the zucchini cakes and the sausages. I finally organized my freezer a little so that I can actually find things, and now there is room for these goodies. I also found a vegan brownie in there.

Wowzers! You've been busy! LOL

Indeed, I have. I'm trying really hard to make sure I don't spend any money on lunches at our work cafeteria. I've cut way back on that, which is good. I want to have all kinds of options ready for the work week.

Very clever. That is what I always used to do when I have my meals at work.

bookmarked! The vegan carrot cakes I've made were disappointing. I like that this ones a riser. I've have great luck with soda/vinegar cakes.
Maybe I'll make cookies. My son had a terrible day. Sucked me into it though, i could use a cookie...

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I want something snacky, but don't want to dig into my kettle chips (saving 'em for sammiches).... Gonna stove-pop some ladyfinger popcorn in coconut oil and season with finely-ground nooch, onion powder, & dill weed. I should make a lot so I can bring a bag to snack on at Jer's this evening....

Did you make it? I did and the batter was very thin- I even added a heaping T of flour but it was still thin. It's been in the oven for 40 min and still wet in the middle. It's also too sweet, and I followed directions.
Everything seems to be bad when I follow directions

No. I suck, lol. But in all fairness, I'm trying to be good, watching my weight, and if I make baked goods I won't have the self control to not eat them. And hubby and son won't eat it. I could bring it to work but I would still over indulge.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Fixin' to make my free box of Annie's organic, rennet-free shells & white cheddar (OMG, I miss mac-&-cheese). Using hemp milk & coconut oil, no high-salt Olivio, & adding diced Roma tomato.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I cut that vegan take-out pizza in half & I'm throwin' it on a cookie sheet with some coconut-oiled parchment paper (made the crust nice & crispy last time)... gonna spice/herb it up and add some power greens, sliced Roma tomato, nooch, & Go Veggie shreds.

I am making my annual chocolate peanut butter tunnel cake for the February birthdays in my department, including mine, which is next week. It will look like this:

Every year you post, and every year I long for a slice. I love that yours turns out looking just like the original recipe. I remember it looking like a production.
