Enjoy!

Sauteing minced matchstick carrots & four cloves of garlic... adding four snipped green onions & chopped baby kale... basically using up my remaining produce... then an appropriate amount of water, lots of herbs/spices, Mrs. Dash, a couple bay leaves... While I let a decent veggie stock take shape, I'll rinse what's left of my lentils & quinoa....
OP

So what is the thing that separates minestrone? The pasta? I simmered lots of carrots, celery, some diced potatoes, italian seasoning with Better than Boullion no beef. About halfway from them being done I added a cup of orzo. When all was done I thought I'd add the spinach and dice tomatoes, but changed my mind on the tomatoes. I added the spinach, let it wilt, then threw in about a cup of frozen peas, and one of frozen corn.

Crisping up a taco shell in the oven while I "fix" Minxy's baby-kitty photos.... that's LONG overdue, she's three now! LOL

Wellll.... I'm thawing the last container of my vegan chili... I've got some water on for pasta (tri-color veggie rotini)... plus I just stocked up on LOTS of nooch (totally refilled my little Bragg container AND the extra large 12-ounce Kal container, right to the top).... YAY, NOOCH!! 
So in an effort to use up leftovers and make something warm & hearty for what promises to be a VERY chilly evening, I though I'd whip up some vegan cheezy-chili-mac!
I haven't cooked in almost a couple weeks.... this'll be super easy, slowly get me back in the groove.

. I found a new (to me) product that is fantastic in tiny amounts (is unfortunately high in sodium), but especially good as a flavoring used with with nooch. Amazing taste on anything."Coconut Liquid Aminos (Non-GMO Certified)
Better than Soy Sauce! A natural & organic, soy-free option to traditional soy sauce with great flavor! Made from non-GMO, organic coconut tree nectar and sea salt (coconut trees in Indonesia and Bali). An excellent gourmet replacement for Tamari, Worcestershire & Soy Sauce. Great in Salads, Soups, Veggies, Rice and Beans, Casseroles, Potatoes, Tofu, Stir-fries, Meats, Poultry, Fish, Jerky, Tempeh, Marinades, Sauces, most foods, & delicious on Popcorn."

Yeah, I heard about that stuff! But I'm extremely strict about sodium content... I get no-salt-added canned goods, potato chips, etc... and I add salt to NOTHING. I use lots & lots of herbs/spices, plus a sh*t-ton of Mrs. Dash & nooch.I love nooch too, use piles of it

Plus, I was never a huge fan of soy sauce to begin with. I was always more of a garlic/ginger/super-spicy Asian mustard kinda gal. For lunch I'm making wraps with spicy beans, peppers and onions with lettuce, tomato, salsa, cheeze and fresh coriander.
I've been looking forward to having this meal for days.

YesHey @ledboots
Are you familiar with Braggs soy amino acids? I always have a big bottle, and use it often. I don't even like soy sauce, but love Braggs aminos! I wonder how the coconut compares?
I usually don't like coconut based things.
, I have the liquid aminos and use it a lot, and love the coconut one. It doesn't taste coconutty to me, just different

I finally printed out all of the recipes I've saved to my FB so I have no excuse not to make some of them for Thanksgiving!
I want to make the eggnog cheesecake and hopefully, some kind of nutroast. Or I might make the pumpkin chickpea fritters that I've made before because I already know they taste awesome.

I made a spicy root vegetable soup for lunch. It's perfect soup weather today.

I'm just about to roast what's left of my older bulb of garlic... gotta peel & prep cloves first. I wanna use the cloves and the roasted garlic olive oil in making more vegan cheezy black bean dip.... with lots of nooch & cumin & chipotle & cilantro & baby kale....
I needed to do something since I have four flippin' cans of black beans! LOL
