Hubby had a bunch of cardiac tests run today,so we didn't get to eat lunch til 2pm,and we ate at Sonic.Neither one of us is particularly hungry...I think he just had a piece of pumpkin dessert...I guess that's dinner!

I hope his tests turned out okay.

I hope his tests turned out okay.

Thank you!Me too.We find out what's what on Monday.

The exact one may not be available in the US, but if you're looking for something vegetarian, just check the ingredients to ensure there's no pork included.

Publix sells those beans in the imported foods section. They have a lot of foods from the UK there.

Just google "vegan alternatives to boiled eggs." I did, and turned up a BUNCH of viable alternatives!

Tonight, taquitoes and something pretending to be a veggie. Not sure what, yet....

Thanks, I will. When I was vegan I used to use something but I forgot what it was.

Thanks, I will. When I was vegan I used to use something but I forgot what it was.

This looks like an awful lot of work IMO but here's one. Vegan 'boiled' egg

Personally, I'd substitute chick peas or small chunks of avocado. I hate hard boiled eggs so I don't use them in anything.

Using leftover deli chicken to make a skinny pasta Alfredo - pasta with chicken in garlic and butter. Tastes just as good and lower calorie without the heavy cream sauce.

Cool and rainy here today so it's a spaghetti kinda day to me,with cheesy garlic toast and a green salad.

marinated salmon and pan fried brussels sprouts

Thanks, I will. When I was vegan I used to use something but I forgot what it was.

It looks to me as if chunks of tofu might work in that recipe. That's a lot of boiled eggs, so I'd personally use the whole package of tofu if I could afford it.

I found those Heinz beans today at Walmart! I also got a can of succotash. Not sure what it is, but it sounds good since I love butter beans.

crescent rolls

I wonder if I could use a crescent roll to make a sandwich. It would have to be a big one to hold all the fixins.

I sauteed the leftover mushrooms and spinach I had in the fridge. White, baby bella, and the rest of the mushroom mix with some butter

I need to learn how to saute with butter. I'm always afraid to burn it, so I use oil. I bet butter would taste yummier!

here's another hot sauce advent calendar

Cool. The habanero sauces sound delicious.

For dinner I cooked an Aldi's shepherd's pie. It was pretty good, it wasn't runny like the Walmart one.
For lunch I had a veggie omelet with cheese, and ketchup from a little diner in town.

I wonder if I could use a crescent roll to make a sandwich. It would have to be a big one to hold all the fixins.

I think you could! I buy the little crescent roll packages that make four rolls. So you would roll the dough out of the tube and cut it in half, rather than in four pieces before baking to make your top and bottom buns. The only question is whether a crescent roll bun would be strong enough to hold everything if you picked it up. I mean it would be still be delicious but you might need a knife and fork to eat your sandwich.

Thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Yay! Hopefully you'll like them.

I've never had butter beans. Must Google...

Last night I made one of my favourite recipes. I don't make it often, because there's a lot of prep work, and I like quick and easy meals. It makes a lot though, so plenty of leftovers.

I don't know where the recipe came from, though I suspect it's one I found online and modified to my own likes. I call it Sweet and Sour Beans and Rice. It has red pepper, green pepper, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, pineapple, kidney beans and rice. The only spice is ginger. The sauce is soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and pineapple juice. You can add corn starch to thicken the sauce if you like. Here's a pic:

Taco Supremes' x 3 from TBel for lunch and dinner

Butter beans are delicious with butter and hot sauce on them.

I call it Sweet and Sour Beans and Rice.

That would probably be good with some tofu in it.

Sourdough toast for a snack

What do you put on the sourdough bread?
I had a toasted veggie sandwich made with sourdough bread for lunch. I don't think I like it. The taste is so weird...and sour....

 

[rubysmama]

Good idea. Next time I make it, I must try that.
M maggiedemi : Have you tried tofu yet?

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I have no clue, but it has to be soon. I just had a senior moment in the kitchen, was convinced that it is Friday, and took my pills, which means I doubled up on my Metformin, which means my glucose levels may tank if I don't eat fairly soon. SPIT SPIT SPIT!

 

[lizzie]

Leftover spaghetti and garlic bread and I made another salad.
