Boiling the last of my organic whole wheat rotini... gonna throw my remaining broccoli (what I didn't use for the tater skins) in the water in a couple minutes.... and I'll have that stuff with the very last of my vegan mushroom stroganoff sauce.

Improvising some sort of sauce.... LOL 
Sautéed half a red onion & four cloves of garlic, added the leftover half-carton of low sodium veggie broth, threw in some herbs/spices (Mrs. Dash, sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, dill) and plenty of nooch, along with my roasted red pepper/walnut dip. Gonna thicken it up in a bit with some tapioca starch, maybe add some "sour cream"... hell, I'm gonna throw some Chao in there, too.
Whatever this turns out to be, it's gonna get stirred into frozen diced potatoes & frozen broccoli/cauliflower and then baked in the oven....

I made more Roti today and no-bake peanut butter chocolate bars. They were delicious! I brought them to my friend's house for dessert after we had Indian takeout food. They are like the peanut balls I make, minus the coconut flakes, but in bar form. My friend loved them.

Never made rice noodles before.... these are Pad Thai-style & apparently I have to make the entire package. LOL
Anyhoo, what I'm planning on is a gut-friendly creation of rice noodles (got a clove of garlic in the water... garlic good), mixed with some of the carrot-ginger soup (ginger is also supposed to be good... I'll add extra), with some canned sliced carrots thrown in, as well as some nooch & sesame oil.
Carrots. Not my favorite veggie, not by a long shot. Took a brief swig off the carton of soup... wow, that's funky. Not what I'm used to... pretty sweet... definitely gonna add sesame oil & ground ginger & garlic powder in the finale....

I had a fruit and green smoothie for breakfast and then I was hungry so I made some HM potato wedges (no oil) with lots of seasoning.
I'm making a vegetable and red lentil curry with brown rice for dinner. Yum. I have lots of cauliflower and broccoli in the fridge.
Tomorrow I'm going to make a sweetcorn chowder from a recipe I saw on YouTube.

I will be making hummus, pesto and chocolate chip cookies at some point today.

Well, it's gonna be a big batch of leftover somethingorother. I took mental stock of everything that needed to be used up, in the fridge & in the freezer, think I came up with a possibility late last night....
First, I've got my remaining fresh carrot & celery sticks roasting in the oven (with evoo, garlic powder, pepper, & little Himalayan pink salt)... when those are almost done, I'll add the big pile of already-roasted-but-still-undercooked veggies left over from Thanksgiving (potatoes, carrots, onion)... I took those out of the freezer last night to thaw in the fridge. Gonna sauté the rest of my fresh onion & zucchini in the stock pot, add the roasted veggies, and whatever remains in the three cartons in fridge (a wee bit of soy milk, plenty of veggie broth, and quite a bit of the cashew-carrot-ginger soup).... I've also got a small container with left-over canned carrots & cannellini beans as well as some cooked ditalni for add-ins.
We'll see what happens, I guess!

Prepping some potato skins so all I have to do when I get home tonight is pop 'em in the oven.
Already pre-baked the naked skins, topping them with a mix of finely minced onion, frozen chopped broccoli, & a little cauliflower-cheese sauce... then I'll finish 'em off with a blend of Chao & Daiya cheddar/mozzarella shreds.
Easy-peasy vegan-cheesy!

Makin' some chickpea pasta salad. I've got water on for the rotini... I'll add the some frozen peas to the boiling water with about 2-3 minutes left on the timer... rinse everything in cold water....
I had quite a large hunk of onion left, so I only needed to take three slices off it... I'll chop that in the Zyliss, empty it, then chop up the drained garbanzos.... I'll add some of my vegan ranch, some Teta dip, as well as the last little bit of roasted cauliflower cheese sauce....
I hope this turns out OK... it's the only thing I'll have ready to eat at Jerry's tonight. LOL

Makin' stuffed peppers! 
Gotta chop garlic, onion, and the rest of my red pepper... sauté that stuff... add the carton of broth, boil, add some brown rice & simmer that for about a half-hour, then add lentils & simmer for another 15 or so... then I'll add some diced tomato & baby spinach....
If I have time, I'll bake all the peppers. If not, I'll just get the assembled & take one for Jerry to bake at his house.

Finally trying a bbq seiten ribz. every recipe called for peanut butter, so I figured it was important. Boy what a mistake! I can taste that 'off' taste. I remembered the time I added PB to hummus based on a recipe and couldn't eat any of it, I don't think these will be that bad because they have enough other flavors, but never again!
I'm going to make a nooch sauce later after getting some unsweet almond milk

Made more vegan cheese sauce! Different this time....
Didn't use any one recipe, didn't measure anything, just improvised.... It's got carrots, potatoes & onion (boiled), garlic & red bell pepper (roasted), unsweetened soy milk, paprika, Mrs. Dash, a little Himalayan pink salt, a dash of cayenne, and lots of nooch.

Well, I'm just using up whatever the hell strikes my fancy to whip up some stuff that will eventually make tacos.... LOL
I roasted my remaining baby carrots & my five largest cloves of garlic (in evoo, nooch, paprika, cumin, chipotle, & coriander).... I sautéed the last of my onion & two fresh garlic cloves, added a can of organic fire-roasted tomatoes, Mrs. Dash, more cumin & chipotle, some dried cilantro, 3/4-cup of green lentils (all that was left), and two cups of purified water.... Once cooked, I added a can of organic black beans and sprinkled in the last teensy bit of my dry couscous to soak up the excess liquid....
I need to run to the store now.... I think I want hard-shell tacos. If Kroger doesn't have any ripe avocados, I'll just buy some guacamole.

Steamed some really nice kale, and making some pasta and garlicky cashew nooch sauce.
ETA: Super good. I find that I like mac & nooch when I overcook the noodles.

Makin' what I think will be a healthy, cold-busting dish... kick the rest of this crud to the curb. Sautéing the rest of my red onion, gonna add my remaining veggie broth & cook the last of my brown rice. While that's simmering, I'll roast my bag of frozen Brussels sprouts (with evoo, nooch, & ground rosemary)....
And remember the garlic/lemon dilemma? I did end up mincing the garlic, lightly sautéing it in a touch of evoo, simmering it in the lemon juice, some chardonnay, a little Mrs. Dash, & a bay leaf... it reduced nicely... after it cooled I blended it up in the food processor & poured it into an ice cube tray. Just popped out the cubes & put 'em in a baggie.... they're a little greasy, but WOW, these things are pungent!!
So I plan to thaw a couple cubes & use that as a dressing for the rice/Brussels sprouts. Loads of vitamin C (just 5 sprouts = 90%!) and that concentrated garlic/lemon sh*t should help to slap the sick right outta me! LOL
