I don't remember all that I eat every day, but dinner is the main cooking meal for me.
Last night we had green chile bean burritos with potatoes, peas, and cilantro and baked jalapeno poppers.
Tonight I plan on having Asian slaw, rice with green onions and sliced almonds, and cinnamon sugar bread.
Pizza was so awesome. Homemade everything! whole wheat crust, roasted tomato & herb sauce, pesto, chopped red peppers and onion. Oh... and daiya :)
Everything was local except the onions and the flour for the crust!
sounds awesome.
I made a similar homemade lasagne on Saturday - fresh homemade pasta, tomato sauce, tofu feta, roasted garlic sauce, 'mince' from homemade seitan and some homegrown spinach thrown in for good measure.... was good shit!
today, what's for dinner is roasted butternut soup, made with butternut grown in my Nana's garden.
Tonight is...leftover stuffed squash and probably a chickpea salad (as in a bed of greens and things with chickpeas on top - not a "mock" chicken or egg salad)
This: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10187?section= only with brown basmati rice instead of fettuccine. Good stuff.
I think I'm going to make some sort of mac and "cheese" with roasted summer squash
black bean and jasmine rice burritos from '150 Vegan Favorites' :biggrin:
Leftover mac and cheese, cool slaw, and sunny corn muffins (minus the lemon). ...maybe some roasted summer squash. Nothin' special.
tonight had salad with greens, cucumber, celery, tomato, and a homemade lemon balsamic vinaigrette and brown rice, chorizo, mushroom, jalapeno, and pinto tacos
Tonight is going to be "beef" and broccoli with basmati rice, and roasted cabbage wedges.
dunno about tonight, but last night was flatbreads with homemade tahini hummus, tomatoes, fried potato slices, zucchini, and broccoli
last night was Ethiopian Sweet Potato Stew which was just ok....tonight I want pancakes again...with some hashbrowns!
Once I get up, it will be whole wheat pasta with a raw tomato sauce (with balsamic vinaigrette tossed in), with lots of garlic and basil.
I tried the "Jakes Scrambled "eggs"" tofu recipe from here and threw some green onion and bok choy into the mix. I had two slices of my homemade spelt bread warmed and added a little earth balance spread on it. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk to round it off. Nothing fancy but it sure hit the spot.
tonight I'm planning on something from Best Veggie Burgers..maybe the Korean BBQ
oh my! my deep dish pizza was phenomenal last night!

Yay!!! What toppings did you have?
I used Gimme Lean sausage (which I haven't used in years cuz it gives me horrible gas, but I seem to be ok today), green pepper, red onion and daiya mozzarella. Then I sprinkled basil and oregano on top of the cheese - it was awesome! Dipped in ranch of course. It was just like the pizza I was craving. The glass baking dish worked perfectly - the crust was perfect.

just answered my own question about the cookbook reading another thread lol
I was never a meat-on-pizza kinda guy. I always rocked cheese pizza, pesto, or veggie pizza. *shrug*
I never put fake meats on pizza. Well, I don't use much fake meat at all.
Last night I ate out with my Dad and husband. My Dad is visiting from out of state. I so rarely eat out that it was a nice treat but a challenge to find a restaurant where my meat and potatoes husband and digestive sensitive Dad and my vegan self could all eat. I chose the Duluth Grill, a local organic restaurant (they have a garden at the restaurant and herb pots and use many of their own vegetables and mostly local foods). They have one totally vegan dish and a few vegetarian ones that can be made vegan. So I had the Portabella Mushroom Tempeh stacker on Ciabetta bread with sprouts and vegan cheese. That was the first time ever I had vegan cheese other than the traditional nutritional yeast sauce. It wasnt too bad, but that sandwich was HUGE! I could only eat half. It was a little bland too compared to my cooking :) but not too bad. I had steamed broccoli on the side (I can never spell that word) and lemonade. All and all it was a nice time out.
Tonight I am going to make a vegan meal for my Dad...mushroom risotto and mashed sweet potato with coconut milk. I think he will be able to stomach that. :)
