Mofo 13...FAIL

After an unexpected double at work today, I am eating curly fries and a beer for dinner. The store brand is appropriately titled "Tasty QQQs".

At least my crockpot will cook my dinner all through the night for tomorrow (beans!!!).

Mofo 12- BRUNCH!

OMELETS! I make the Vegan Brunch recipe at least 3 times a month, they are so good! I don't find them difficult or time-consuming at all. I throw my potatoes in the oven to roast and start flipping! I even cook the filling usually in the same pan. Here's a cooking action shot!


And here is my BF's finished brekkie plate:

He nearly always wants the same mexi-style omelet. This one has seitan, red peppers, onion, daiya, salsa, sour cream and jalapenos.



For me, omelets mean mushrooms! My BF absolutely HATES mushrooms (heathen!!!!)for some odd reason, so I always make us seperate omelet fillings.
Here's mine, it has mushrooms, onion, kale and since there was only enough Daiya for his omelet, I went with some horseradish dijon mustard...and it was good!!! I also put the last few potatoes inside cause I ate most of them while waiting for my omelet to cook.

Come to mama....mmmm...the carnage!

This stuff is amazing!


Now for coffee and digestion.(Yes I ate brunch at 2 in the afternoon...what?!)

Mofo Day 11

Tonight's dinner: it started with a roasted butternut squash...



I then decided to make the requisite vegan squash risotto. I sort of followed this recipe:

Except mine had champagne*, leeks, nutritional yeast and sage.


I also roasted some brussel sprouts and chickpeas...


Dinner was on the table in less than an hour...whoohoo!


*not really champagne, but cheap sparkling wine from the Chevron....yay America!

...and after he was full, my darling life partner made me this:


*SIGH*

Mofo numbah 9!

For the longest time when I was first vegan I tried to make a cream sauce with soy/rice/almond milk and thicken it after flavoring...then I discovered nut based sauces..OH YEAH. Way better.

This is a cashew cream with nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon, salt,olive oil, pepper and basil served over rotini noodles and mixed veggies (broccoli, white onion, kale, spinach, leeks, peas, crimini mushrooms) and topped with kalamata olives.







MMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Mofo day 8

DINNER!!! I love dinner!

First I made my standard seitan roast. I kneaded the seitan and while I let it rest I made some veggie broth with the scraps I save in the freezer.




Then I made some dijon-horseradish mashed potates...



And then some sauteed kale with lemon and garlic...



I also sauteed some onions and added some cranberry sauce to serve with the seitan.



Here's the plate:



Makes me look forward to Thanksgiving...!

Then I ate way too many dark chocolate chips with dried cherries


Mmmmmmmmmmm full and tired...bedtime soon...
