[mum21andtwins]

I was about to post in the Januari thread when I realised its not januari anymore!!
Last night was home made oven roasted wedges with peas brocoli and quorn nuggets.
Tonight it will big a big bowl of lentil soup with homebaked bread (rising as I type).
Wednesday is market day so I get new veg for the coming week

We had fresh salad lad night with a vegan pot pie fron fat free vegan--really good! We used the last of our home dried garden tomatoes on the salad and I made a rockin raw "ranch" dressing for the salad!
Here is how I did it if anyone is interested: I soaked a cup and a half raw cashews for a few hours. I drained the water then put them in a blender with a cup or so water, juice from half a lemon, some apple cider vinegar, two garlic cloves, and some sea salt and about a tablespoon mrs dash. Also some raw honey (could use agave) I have used cilantro and parsley in this with good results as well. This has become my favorite dressing.

Im going to join this month so I can get some new ideas. We're really trying to simplify our meals, overlap ingredients and cut our grocery bills.

Last night was tofu/veg green curry on rice noodles

Tonight is this soup http://operabuffo.blogspot.com/2009/...not-vegan.html

We veganize it/add more spice/corn/avocado chunks. And toight it will be made with black beans since thats what we have I LOVE THIS SOUP!!!!

Tonight we had thai squash soup (pulled from the freezer) with nann bread. I also made some zucchini pancakes because I had put some frozen grated zucchini in the microwave to thaw for muffins and forgot about it until I took a bit of the muffins and realized - d'oh.

I have food for two more meals this week. Chickpea noodle soup and sweet potato/pinto bean chili.

My MIL is coming up Thursday and wants to "help" me. So, my idea is to get her to play with babies on Friday so I can go crazy in the kitchen and stock pile some stuff in our freezer. Then dh is home on the weekend so I figure between the two of them they can keep the kids entertained. Dh is away for work at the end of February so it will be nice to have some meals to just pull out when I'm on my own. Now to figure out what I want to make.

Last night was black bean tacos and tonight will be an Amy's cheeseless pizza with salad.

The raw ranch looks good! I used to make so many raw dressings and loved them. Need to get back in that habit!

Last night was multi-grain pancakes & veggie sausage. However I could not stomach the veggie sausauge. Food aversions are really aweful! I can't stand the taste, texture & often the smell of anything even slightly meatlike. The only exceptions of course are soyrizo & taco meat from my fav drive-thru

Tonight was roasted eggplant tomato sauce w pasta hemp seeds. With peas carrot and cuke slices on the side.

I think if I get the energy tonight I'll prep a lentil soup for lunch tom. w the leftover pasta, tomato sauce and maybe the eggplant. Though I was hoping there would be enough eggplant to make a small curry out of tom. but I really don't think so

[LukesMum]

Last night was Tomato Bulghar Soup from LF Moosewood with Sesame crackers and fresh bread.

I also need to stock the freezer!!!

[Vegan Princess]

Tonight I made creamy cauliflower soup also zucchini and orzo. The orzo tasted almost like I remember Rice a Roni tasting--except this didn't have msg or other chemicals in it. Both recipes were super easy.
