A Simple Truth Organic Roasted Vegetable Pizza. It's in the oven after being heavily seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, & black pepper. Another ten minutes and I'll add snipped baby spinach, lotsa nooch, slices of Roma tomato, & basil. :lick:
 
Diced a Roma tomato (only four left from that huge bag! LOL) and I'm gonna start snipping baby spinach.... adding both to my currently (gently) reheating sauteed veggies, plus some extra nooch, Mrs. Dash, dill weed, & garlic powder. I've got my last rosemary-olive oil FoldIt Flatbread in the oven briefly (want it to get sturdy not brittle).... already got out the last of my Go Veggie shreds & the vegan red pepper almond mayo.... :lick:

I know I'm gonna wanna munch that sucker right down, but I've gotta wrap it up for my dinner at Jer's tonight. :rolleyes:

Oooh, and I can't forget to bring the no-salt kettle chips! :drool:

I am making a batch of black bean chili. It smells awesome in my kitchen. I got what will likely be the last batch of fresh tomatoes and peppers from my friend's farm, and I used some in the chili. On the plus side, she and her husband have a greenhouse and will be growing lots of greens.

Sounds nice, as usual.;)

Thank you, shyvas. I had some for lunch. It was delicious! I actually might like the black beans better than the red ones for the chili. Slightly different flavor and all. Both are great, though, but it's nice to mix it up once in a while. I did it mostly because I was out of red beans, haha. I am going to make cornbread tonight to have with it for lunch tomorrow.

I think it may be time to bust out a giant pot of chili some time soon... you've inspired me. ;)

I like using black beans, too. I try to have as many colors as I can possibly throw in.... black beans, red beans, garbanzos, red & green onion, various colors of bell peppers, white & yellow corn, mushrooms, carrots.... rainbow chili! LOL :p

Got a little pasta sauce on the stove.... I'm thawing the last bit of my vegan pesto to add to it, too... that should jazz things up a bit. :cool:

Formulating a shopping list for chili ingredients.... I've already got three cans of black beans.... and it looks like Kroger's got some sweet deals on organic mushrooms (over $1 off), bell peppers (4/$5), lightly dried cilantro (over $1 off), cans of organic no-salt diced tomatoes & sauce are 10/$10, many of their dried herbs & spices are half-off. Methinks I'll be doin' a bit of grocery shopping tomorrow.... :)

My laundry in the washer is done but now I can't find the flippin' dryer balls.... :confused: LOL

Looks like it's tin foil to the rescue!! :up:

I'm gonna hope my not-so-sturdy baking sheet doesn't go BOING with the high heat.... :|

Your oven must be massive!! LOL
 
Got laundry in the dryer, water heating on the stove for veggie rotini (sauce is done), and fingerling potatoes roasting in the oven, seasoned with plenty of evoo, garlic & onion powder, Mrs. Dash, rosemary, thyme, & dill weed. :)

I guess I'd better get off my butt and start washing/prepping the red onion, red peppers, & mushrooms.... :bag:

I want more awesome sauteed veggie sandwiches this week, and they don't make themselves. LOL ;)

This vegan cheddar-https://vedgedout.com/2013/11/15/kick-ace-extra-sharp-raw-vegan-holiday-cheddar-cheese-ball-virtual-vegan-potluck-edition/comment-page-4/#comment-35711
I forgot the miso and nut yeast, added 3 garlic cloves, no sherry, used the half the amount of coconut oil and used refined, and added 1/4 cup Just Mayo to make up for the oil.
Super good! It was still very oily- i'll just use 2 tablespoons next time and 2 of mayo. I can see how the miso would add a lot of flavor, but the garlic sure added a lot!
I took my very old Vitamix out of storage. I'd only been keeping it in case I trade it for a new one. What a pain to scrape stuff out of! I'm not sure how the new ones are for that. My blades are also dull, it didn't make it all smooth, still had some dried tomato and garlic pieces. The cashews were ok cause they were soaked well

This would be sooo good with french fries!
 
Well, I finally got the onion, peppers, & mushrooms prepped.... of course the baby kale & tomato will come later tonight when I make a sammich. :lick:

Now the easy part. LOL :chef:
