What's for dinner?

Of course vegans love a)talking about food and b)sharing. I love hearing about what others are eating for dinner! Especially if I am in a food rut.

Tonight's dinner is adzuki beans, kale, and Trader Joe's harvest grain blend. Simple and satisfying! The adzuki bean and kale recipe is here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/kale-and-adzuki-beans/

Tonight I'm experimenting with a veganised "cheesesteak" sandwich

2 servings:
200g Redwood Vegideli meat-free "beef" (grilled)
7 rashers Redwood Vegideli organic "bacon" (grilled)
1/2 onion (foil wrapped and grilled - like you do on a BBQ)
3 slices of Tofutti smooth cheddar style
1 panini - lightly spread with Vitalite dairy-free spread
Topped with a bit of sauce depending on my mood (either some smokey or chilli)

I've made something similar before using Fry's Polony instead of "beef" or "bacon" and that turned out well.

It's one of my higher calorie meals at 717kcal with 47g protein, 31g carbs and 42g fat.

Bumping for future reference. Thanks for all the great ideas!

I took this recipe:

http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2012/06/miracle-mac-n-cheese-342-recipe-086.html

and made it vegan, with almond milk and galaxy vegan shreds and it was seriously, hands down, the best vegan mac and cheese i've had.

Last night, I made a fantastic kale-vegetable soup. Super easy!

Ingredients
1 tbs olive oil
1 small yellow onion chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped
2 celery stalks (including leafy tops) chopped
2 carrots peeled and chopped
1 small yellow squash chopped into half moons
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 can northern white beans
4 cups stemmed and choppped kale (one bunch)
1 quart vegetable stock
red pepper flakes
salt
pepper
oregano

Directions

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add in carrots and celery and cook until starting to soften up and onions are halfway transluscent.

Add in tomatoes with their juice and scrap the bottom of your pot with your spoon to loosen any onion or garlicky bits.

Add in squash, beans, kale and vegetable stock. You can use a little extra water if you like yours more soupy. I like mine thicker. The kale is perfect here since it doesn't get as mush as spinach.

Season with red pepper (about 1 tsp), salt, pepper and oregano.

Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until you can't wait any longer!

Last night I made soft tacos with tofu, pinto beans, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, and a chopped up chipotle pepper. I put the filling in some blue corn tortillias with a bit of Follow Your Heart nacho-style "cheese" and topped them with home made guacamole.

jaimemariel

I made this!

Spaghetti squash is a peanut coconut milk sauce. Made it vegan by omitting the fish sauce. So filling!

Tonight's dinner was shiritake noodles, organic fat free low sodium tomato basil sauce, and Daiya mozzarella shreds baked in the oven, with toasted homemade 100% whole wheat bread rubbed with minced garlic. Yumness.

I'll share my dinner from last night because It was awesome! We just got a grill and used it for the first time. We made grilled tempeh, corn on the cob with olive oil and paprika, and veggie skewers with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and pineapple.

Also, holy crap, I am glad I found this group because I am stealing all of your meal ideas. I've gotten into a non-cooking-just-heat-and-prepare rut and you all have such amazing sounding meals. Yeah, I'm stealing for sure

MrsODriscoll

A yummy green veg soup - half a courgette, a small bulb of fennel and a small pale-green pepper all diced, cooked in 600ml stock with 80g basmati rice, then add some chopped spinach and a tbsp of vegan pesto and stir to wilt. YOM!

Trishkit

Pineapple-cashew-quinoa stir fry from Veganomicon. So amazing!

I'm so glad we're sharing recipes. It's easy to get into a rut - FAST. I'll be looking to try some of them out. I'm also eating kale, I just steam it with onion. I find that letting it soak in cold water for a while before steaming really freshens the flavor. The greens tend to get dehydrated in the store.

Sunday night dinner: Marinated portabello mushrooms on the grill with roasted baby yukon gold potatoes and roasted asparagus.

jaimemariel

That sounds so simple and yummy!

Tonight I had marinated tofu (quick marinade of sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and spices, then baked), braised leeks, and roasted potatoes. Simple, fall like, yumminess.

Easy eclectic light dinner: Tonight I had Miso Master red miso soup with 1 table spoon dulse flakes to get my iodine on! I also had organic spring mix salad with mixed nuts scallions, and this dressing that I just made up on the fly:
1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar, turmeric, chili powder, dill, oregano, basil, salt.

Was still hungry and needed protein so I had french vanilla vega with almond milk.

Goulash, main ingredient is portabello mushrooms thickly chopped soak up the paprika flavour. On a cold day with some cous cous and rye bread its perfect. Only problem is it takes 2 1/2 hours to make.
