Whatcha Makin'??

0°, wind, snow, and the only thing I have to make is an Amy's frozen mac-n-cheese (I didn't buy it)... which is kick *** with me. All I need to do is nuke it, nooch it, and add the last of my baby spinach & diced Roma tomato.

It's gonna be good comfort food for such a sh*tty night.... I just wish there weren't so little of it. LOL

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

OK, I added the aforementioned remaining produce & there is FAR more spinach than mac-n-cheese here... couldn't even fit all that crap in the same dish until I nuked it a bit more. It's way more healthy now, right? LOL

I am making chocolate cupcakes to bring to work tomorrow. I have not decided what flavor of frosting I will top them with. Options include chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, mocha/coffee or orange. Decisions, decisions.

I want mocha!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Making a tiny bit of veggie rotini to stir into the last little bit of my Italian vegetable soup....

I want mocha!

I went with mocha/chocolate, and people loved it. I did, too. Quite tasty.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Hey, this is what Jer just made! It's the electric chair for the university's next show (Assassins)....

 

[PTree15]

YIKES, lol....that's pretty cool, though!

YIKES, lol....that's pretty cool, though!

I could only get the pic, not the video of him "testing" it out....

This afternoon, I will be attempting to make some sort of vegan cheesy-broccoli-pasta bake.

I've got all the fixins set....



Now I just need to actually DO something. LOL It may not end up looking very attractive, what with the dark green rotini (which I plan to undercook so it doesn't get mushy in the oven)... also gonna boil the broccoli florets with the pasta.... for the "cheese" sauce, I'll sauté a little onion, add some creamy vegan broccoli soup, & stir in a sh*t-ton of nooch.

Of course, I'll be using my fave herbs & spices.... also strongly considering adding some baby arugula to this, just for a little extra added healthy umph!

Well, let's see how it goes, shall we? **shrug**

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Lightly toasting a half-pound of walnuts.... gonna make a small batch of roasted red pepper/walnut dip.

And I have TWO jars of roasted peppers, so with the second one I think I'll make roasted pepper/red onion/baby arugula-stuffed crescent roll cups.

If I have time, I'll make my big batch of sautéed veggies for sandwiches.... If not, that'll be the project for tomorrow.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Looking at the above post... yeah, I didn't get very far. LOL NOW I shall make the red pepper/walnut dip and prep the sautéed veggies! I'll need sammich stuff for two nights of meals at Jerry's....

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Still have a little bit of that filling I made for the crescent dough cups.... I thought I'd use that and add a can each of diced tomatoes & garbanzos, some more baby arugula, maybe a couple spoonfuls of sautéed veggies... basically make some sort of halfway decent pasta "sauce" for angel hair tonight.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

About to attempt to make eggs rolls. Frankly, I don't know WTF I'm doing.... LOL

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Halle-freakin'-lujah! Got 'em rolled, covered, & in the damn freezer. Not gonna think about 'em again until tomorrow when I make a dipping sauce.



When I cook them, I'll only fry the ones I'm confident will not fall apart... for instance, NOT the one in the upper right-hand corner. LOL

The bottom-center one looks promising, though!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Supplies are limited... still, I'm going to try to whip up a dipping sauce for the egg rolls. I've got roasted red pepper hummus, evoo, dark sesame oil, and bright green wasabi mustard.... I think I'll start throwin' sh*t in the food processor and see what happens.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I'm using my wit & my will & my leftovers. LOL Two almost empty boxes of angel hair pasta (glad I found the older one... not THAT old, don't get creeped, I sniffed it, it's fine )... gonna boil that sh*t for 3 minutes & drain over canned diced tomatoes in the sieve (they aren't no-salt-added, I should rinse them somehow )... then throw everything back in the pan, toss with some evoo, the last couple tablespoons or so of vegan creamy broccoli soup, a healthy scoop of my roasted red pepper-walnut sh*t, some nooch, some spices.... sounds righteous.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Makin' some lunch for my father....

<---- This stuff. I will not partake as the sauce was not separate (cheese contains "enzymes").... Sure smells good, though!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Makin' din-din for tonight! But my food supplies are extremely limited, so I've gotta work with what I have on hand. I have no fresh produce except for an avocado, which will be an awesome topper/garnish for what I have in mind. I hope to make a tasty, spicy, filling Mexi-bowl of some sort... brown rice, a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatoes, plenty of nooch & spices... and I get to use some of my onion shoots since I have no onion. LOL

I'll take a pic late tonight right before I eat... don't want the avocado to get brown.

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

I made the boil-in-bag brown rice in the microwave (again, only have one working burner)... and of course it's under-cooked but I couldn't find that out until I snipped the bag open. So I poured it out into the Pyrex thing again & added a few spoonfuls of low-salt veggie broth... nuking it a bit more with plastic wrap over it.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I think I may just reheat my rice & bean bowl and save the pupusas for another time... I don't feel like cooking, I'm tired, just wanna have a little wine, listen to some mellow tunes, & nuke my food. Plus, I bought baby kale (to mix in the bowl), two bags (with coupon) of Garden of Eatin' organic tortilla chips (1 no-salt blue corn & 1 surprisingly low sodium larger bag of yellow corn chips [on sale!]), and a jar of Frog Ranch salsa (good stuff/low salt!)....

I'm just gonna heat my sh*t up, top with Go Veggie & avocado, and have some chips & salsa on the side. Aces.

FYI: I just took the plastic wrap off the pre-made bowl & was hit with OMG, THAT SMELLS INCREDIBLE!!!

And on second thought, I'm not even adding avocado. One, I'm just feeling too lazy... two, I don't actually think it's ripe & tasty enough. Good thing is I have leftover black bean/tomato stuff & lots more brown rice, so maybe tomorrow or the next.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Just lightly toasting some walnuts....

I'm going to make the Fat Free Vegan potato pizzas for lunch when I get back in.

I just saw this on Pinterest,Loaded Vegan Sweet Potato Nachos | Emilie Eats I want to make them when I have the ingredients.
