What's For Dinner? - 2019

[Mia6]

Picked it up already made.

Oh, wowza, that sounds so good!

rubysmama --If you had a pancake dinner, what would you have with it for protein? Some type of potato maybe?

 

[Mia6]

I just had another grilled ham and Swiss on sourdough.
Maybe have a bagel for a snack.
I think I'm having cream of tomato soup for dinner.

I made Green Bean Casserole for dinner tonight. I won't be able to eat the one my sister will make on Thanksgiving because she uses Campbell's Mushroom soup. It is not vegetarian. She used a natural organic mushroom soup last year and it was not good.

Campbell's Mushroom soup. It is not vegetarian.

What ingredients are not vegetarian in it?

I just had another grilled ham and Swiss on sourdough.

My sourdough bread is all gone. So for lunch I had a veggie sandwich with Aldi's whole wheat bread. I ruined the sandwich by adding dried cranberries to it. It was too sweet.

The best way for me to describe the taste is earthy and nutty. If you don't care for the rubbery-like texture of tofu then tempeh is a good alternative and it's firmer than tofu. I also think it's easier to prepare. I like the pan frying method best. Here's a good link about it: Here’s What You Should Know About Tempeh

Thanks for the link. Will check it out. Texture is a thing with me ...

rubysmama --If you had a pancake dinner, what would you have with it for protein? Some type of potato maybe?

Hmmm... when I have pancakes, I usually just pile it with maple syrup and fruit - strawberries, blueberries, banana. But I love fruit !!!

About the protein,if there's an egg and milk in them, there's some protein there.

And probably not a type of potato, as that would just be more carbohydrates.

You could always have some Greek Yogurt for dessert, which would have a good amount of protein.

Campbell's Mushroom soup. It is not vegetarian.

I use it sometimes. Must check the label ...

Are you ok?

Yikes! I hope that's not too dangerous.

I'm fine, thanks. I did feel a little shaky, so I had a bowl of sweet cereal. I keep it on hand for just such occasions!

Ummmmmm...tonight...once again, I have given this no thought at all, so probably corn dogs with honey-mustard sauce. And a veggie of some sort...green beans? Tomatoes and okra? One of those. Just so I can pretend I'm eating healthy...

Made some broccoli and cheddar soup. This was my first time making it, and as someone who isn't much of a cook, I think I did a pretty good job. Next time I'm going to opt-out on the onions, though, because 1 - onions are the devil's butt-nuggets, and 2 - they didn't add anything to the soup. I took out each individual broccoli and then pureed the rest to get rid of those slimy things (I hate onions in case no one got the hint lol)

Anyway, good first go!

We can never, EVER share a kitchen. Ever. never.

Which one does she use? Campbell's cream of mushroom is vegetarian. That's the one most people use in green bean casserole. You can use any "cream of" soup though. I have used cream of onion before and it was great. I prefer to make the sauce from scratch now. Very easy to do and easily made vegetarian. I add extra mushrooms because they are yummy.

There goes my plan of showing up unannounced to be a disaster of a human being in your kitchen. Now you'll never witness me running around in panic while making a simple roux, acting as if it will explode all because I forgot to pre-measure out the milk.

DARN IT! And I was going to sell tickets and have a concession stand!

You had your chance and blew it faster than the rush of adrenaline that hits me while cooking more than one thing at a time. Who else will burn off your eyebrows while boiling water? NOT ME. NOT ANYMORE

Campbell's soup will not tell you on their labels. Some of their new soups are vegetarian.

Which one does she use? Campbell's cream of mushroom is vegetarian. That's the one most people use in green bean casserole. You can use any "cream of" soup though. I have used cream of onion before and it was great. I prefer to make the sauce from scratch now. Very easy to do and easily made vegetarian. I add extra mushrooms because they are yummy.

When I became vegan I wrote to Campbell soup several times to ask which of their soups were vegan. When I finally got a reply they said that the only soup that they made that was vegetarian were their Vegetarian soup and their V8 juice. They list Natural Flavoring which probably means something derieved from meat.

When I became vegan I wrote to Campbell's soup several times asking which one of their soups were vegan. When they finally answered they said that only their Vegetarian Vegetable soup and V-8 Juice was vegetarian. On their label they list Natural Flavor. That is probably something derived from meat. They are allowed to do that. You could call or write them.

Well this is the third time I have tried to answer your reply. I wrote Campbell's several times asking them which of their soup was vegan. After several tries they wrote back and said that only their Vegetarian Vegetable soup and V-8 Juice were vegetarian. On their label they list Natural Flavors which probably means that something is in the soup that is derived from meat. They are allowed to do that.

Tonight was scalloped potatoes ,a baked ham steak and green beans.And plenty of leftovers for tomorrow night!

 

[neely]

We picked up Asian food from a new restaurant. It was fantastic, can't wait to go back. I had tofu with mixed vegetables and brown rice. It was loaded with all sorts of veggies. DH had mongolian beef tenderloin.

 

[Mia6]

I had Ramen noodles, ha!! Haven't had them in forever and they were sooo good.
Nicole will bring something down, not sure what.

Nor my kitchen. I LOVE onions !!!

Checked the label on the can in my cupboard, plus the Canadian Campbells soup website and neither show Natural Flavour. But I might email them to confirm it's vegetarian.

Not sure what I'll be having tonight, but last night I made an egg burger.
