I obviously don't post about anything other than yearly updates of what we eat so I thought I'd post for remembrance sake - what we have eaten over a two week period:
Monday - Navajo Tacos and Thai Quinoa Salad for lunch. We rarely plan for lunch but this was special because my parents were visiting and requested this.
Tuesday - Quesadillas and flaked "tuna" salad - a salad made with soaked almonds that are flaked in the food processor and mixed with all the tuna salad type fixins'.
Wednesday - Corn cakes and black beans - we were supposed to have veggie fried rice this night but I didn't make the rice in advance. This is a no-fail fall back because I ALWAYS have everything on hand to make this.
Thursday - Baked veggie rotini and homemade vegan Olive Garden knock-off bread sticks. We LOVE these bread sticks.
Friday - Veggie burgers and baked potato wedges. Ted made them both. He makes excellent veggie burgers and the potato wedges, though a new recipe, were also super tasty!
Saturday - Veggie fried rice, obviously with no egg or meat. We were supposed to have Chipotle Style black bean and cilantro rice bowls with sauteed peppers and onions but that uses leftover rice. So it didn't happen. The rice gets used the following Monday.
Sunday - Breakfast for dinner - Fluffy vegan pancakes, soy sausage, hash browns, and strawberries
Monday - Lentil burritos - Lentils cooked in veggie broth with baked brown rice and tomatoes. This is one of the easiest dinners we make. Monday and Wednesday nights are always a mad house so the easiest dinners take place these nights.
Tuesday - Crispy eggplant over whole wheat pasta with marinara and green beans - Panko breaded spiced eggplant baked on the pizza stone until crispy. It shocks me how quickly my family hoovers down this eggplant dinner. It's super tasty.
Wednesday - Tomoato soup and cheese sandwiches. This could be vegan with vegan cheese but will not be this time. Will be on homemade vegan bread though. Ted will eat the soup with a side of homemade garlic toast.
Thursday - Pizza - with a white bean base (not quite a "sauce") and the soy sausage that we LOVE.
Friday - Quesadilla pie - a veggie and bean PACKED layered mexican style dish we have been eating for years.
Saturday - Veggie burgers and corn while we are on the mountain for the day. We rarely have the same thing two weeks in a row (unless it's pizza, we have that most weeks) but this is for ease since we have leftover burgers which keep well refrigerated or frozen.
Sunday - Black Bean and Veggie Quinoa Taco Casserole - a family favorite!
I still love being (mostly) vegan. We have so many things we can eat and find it easier all the time to cook for other people and keep lots of tasty, healthy variety in the house.
