What's For Dinner? - 2021

Fancy! Did you actually have the dried apricots?

Yeah, when I pick out recipes on the app it gives me a grocery list and I cross off everything I already have and order the rest for pickup, so I ordered a bag of the dried apricots when I did my last shopping trip. I really like the app because I can filter out ingredients I don't like and it won't show me recipes with them. You can also set it if you're vegetarian or doing paleo or have a common food allergy or something so that you get meal suggestions to fit your diet.

My sister sent us a variety pack of these plant based food bowls: VANA Life Foods Store I tried the chipotle black bean and it definitely had a kick to it but was pretty good. Not sure if I would buy it for myself but I appreciated her thoughtfulness.

That looks good. I need to start getting things like that. I am starting to enjoy a little bit of spice. I have been using a lot of pepper lately but I don't think I would ever use hot sauce.

Last night I had Amy's Chili (medium) and Fritos chili cheese corn chips.

I'll probably do something with half of those mushrooms tonight. Most likely Naan pizzas, as I'm craving them.

Then tomorrow or the next day I'll use the rest of the mushrooms to make the fried rice. I'd really like to have veggie egg rolls with the rice, as it's been forever since I've had them. Just not sure what the grocery stores sell in their prepared meals section, and not necessarily keen on buying frozen ones.

I am attempting that congee recipe again. This time, just 6 cups of water instead of 8 and the high setting on the slow cooker instead of low. It was ok last time as "soup" but I really want thick congee.

 

[Willowy]

What is the flavor of the red bag?

Habañero and lime. Really, it's the best. Walmart doesn't always have it though, idk why.

Pork chops in the FG. Not sure what we're having with them yet.

I ordered a bag of the dried apricots when I did my last shopping trip.

I love dried fruit. I'll have to try apricots.

I have been using a lot of pepper lately but I don't think I would ever use hot sauce.

Welcome to the spicy side of life.

Habañero and lime.

Oh habanero would definitely be better and hotter! I hope I can find them.

Breakfast: Kind apple cinnamon cereal with 1/3 cup 2% cow milk. This cereal was way too expensive, but the picture looked so good, I had to try it. It's boring, looks nothing like the pic, dried apples are microscopic. Definitely won't buy again.

Lunch: Snack plate- Takis spicy chips, swiss cheese diced, banana chips, dried figs, dried dates, flax/chia, 1 gluten free raspberry fig newton, 1 oreo double stuff cookie, slivered almonds, crystalized ginger, 1TB Skippy honey peanut butter, 1TB grey poupon coarse mustard, 1TB Thousand Island Dressing.

Dinner: Leftover veggie bean soup, added a diced up veggie burger, el yucateco red habanero sauce, grey poupon mustard, spicy fire salt, black pepper, Korean pepper flakes, spicy Taki chips.

Well, the congee came out somewhat better. I used 5 cups of liquid. The congee was thicker than soup but still not quite the texture I prefer. Maybe 4 cups of liquid next time? Or more uncooked rice? The recipe calls for 1 cup of uncooked rice.

Buffalo chicken wraps again!

I was really suprised tonight. They gave wild rice, broccoli and roasted tomatoes that were cut in quarters all around the plate. It was delicious!

I picked up a new soup at the grocery store by a company called Healthy Valley Organic. HAIN | HealthValley
I had their vegetable soup and it was pretty good. I liked that it had no added salt because most soups are high in sodium.

I heated up the leftover tenderloins and mashed potatoes and the other night we were going to have creamed peas but he wanted beets,so tonight we had buttered peas.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I have no clue. None at all. Maybe just a cup of ramen soup. I do NOT feel like dealing with anything at all.

 

[catapault]

Last night we had the leftover pot roast with mashed potatoes, last of the chicken of the woods mushrooms (they are so tasty), remaining few pieces of carrot that had braised with the pot roast. And petite skinny little whole green beans. A very nice meal, especially now that the weather has decided to to turn cold again.

DH asked me to "please" make my pasta casserole recipe so that's what we're having for dinner tonight. One of things I really like is that we can both eat it since it's veggie friendly and we'll have leftovers for another night or two. I also bought a pint of strawberries at a great price this afternoon, only 99 cents! So that will be our dessert.

I had, what I guess M maggiedemi would call a Snack Plate: Raisin bread toast, cheese and an apple.

That all sounds delicious. What's all in the pasta casserole?

That all sounds delicious. What's all in the pasta casserole?

The recipe calls for shell noodles but I use gluten-free brown rice & quinoa rotini noodles, fresh ricotta and fresh grated parmesan cheese, alfredo and pomodoro sauce, green onions, red & green pepper. DH likes Italian sausage seitan which I could do without but I add it for him since it's vegetarian. Although the added spices/seasonings in the seitan do taste good.
