What's cooking in December, Veg*ns?

[wytchywoman]

Hope I'm not overstepping my bounds but thought I'd go ahead and start a new thread as I didn't see one yet.

Tonight I'm doing a Red Pepper and Potato Frittatish type thing with tofu.

Is anyone else on her doing Weight Watchers as a veg*n? Anyone intersted in listing point counts with their meals or fat/calorie/fiber counts with the recipes? Just wondering if anyone esle does this or is it just me?

[PurpleMonkey]

tonight we had whole wheat spaghetti topped with a garlicky marinara sauce that had lots of mushrooms and tvp (texturied vegetable protein) in it

chocolate chip oat walnut cookies for dessert

[brooklyn_warbler]

we had lentil sunflower pie from vlv (love that recipe!), sauteed broccoli, and baked sweet potatoes. it felt like a very wholesome little meal when i was looking at it - ha!

Oh Sister I am so with you on this one!!! I have 30 to lose! Shall we start a thread? We can help each other be accountable!

Oh and we had Tofu Scramble from VWAV, Belgian Waffles from Joy of Vegan Baking, and tempeh "bacon" that I just made up. I just made some whole wheat bread for sandwiches etc.

I gave them a 7/10. DH and DD hated them. DH said it was like eating hot hummus with rosemary and sage. Sigh.

I think this would be good with some toasted pita points. It was really good with the olive oil drizzled on top.


We're having this tonight: Roasted vegetables with Field Roast Apple & Sage "sausage", idea taken from here

[wytchywoman]

I ended up making the frittata last night instead of saturday. I made the Asparagus and Sun Dried Tomato Frittata from VWAV. It tasted awesome but it crubled the second I tried to lift it out of the pan. Flavor was really delish though.

[MinneMom]

Tonight we're having Tofurky roast, roasted potatoes/carrots/broccoli, and the mushroom gravy that comes with the tofurky. They were on a good sale at trader joe's after the holidays!

[wytchywoman]

Tonight we're doing Tempeh BLT's and celery and carrot sticks. Not the most inventive but it's a week night and that's a quick dinner.

[somegirl99]

Today I'm roasting parnsips, sweet potatoes, and tempeh.

I'm afraid I've not been feeling very creative lately.

[maciascl]

I think we are going to have left over spinach & tofu lasagna. If I feel up to it I might make a salad too. I am to blah feeling to but much effort into dinner tonight.

[Keeta]

Last night we had Gimme Chimis out of Eat Drink and Be Vegan, with some major substitutions. Subbed previously-frozen, thawed, and marinated tofu cubes for the tempeh/beans, subbed thinly sliced cabbage and frozen corn for shredded zucchini. Our chimis didn't stay together all that well in the frying pan due to tortilla size/composition, but they sure are tasty! Love the flavor of the spices in that recipe (chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, chipotle tabasco, balsamic).

Holy crap, Cheryl, I just noticed your siggie! Congratulations!

Thanks!

I didn't even make it to the left overs last night. I made a frozen pizza for the boys. DH & I had cans of soup. Tonight will be better, I just don't know what yet, but I have a 2 pound bag of broccoli florets I need to use before they go bad.

[maciascl]

I am very proud of myself & the beautiful, healthy meal I made tonight that also really helped use up some lingering stuff. I made a chopped salad (my new favorite thing to eat) & a vegan sausage, potato, & broccoli soup. The boys had leftover spagetti & some salad veggies. I am so stuffed!

[Kimber47]

Left over roasted squash, yams, potatoes, apples, thyme and onions with Field Roast Apple Sage "Sausage" with a side of brown rice. I think I have a new favorite!!!

Ok, so I posted this before I ran errands....we ended up eating at Noodles & Company. I had the Indonesian Peanut Saute with Tofu. It was hot and spicy deliciousness. And it better have been, after finding out how many calories there were! Sheesh!
