We were away most of last week and a bit of this week so last night was the first night we had dinner at home.

We had rice, sauteed bok choy, veg dumplings and a handful of nuts each. We serve it all up in our pretty bento boxes.

Lunch today is chopped veg salad with pumpkin and hemp seeds and orange dressing.

Tonight is sweet potato soup, veg sandwiches and salad.

Tomorrow is grocery shopping .

[feministmom]

So dh worked late last night, so it was homemade guacamole on rice cakes for me.

Tonight I'm going to try a neatloaf a la the vegan lunch box calculator. I found that reading through this thread--I can't wait to try! I'll serve it with roasted acorn squash and some sort of green vegetable, but I haven't decided what yet.

Last night I made a meatless chili using TVP as the "meat" and served it over cheddar corn waffles. It was YUMMY.

Tonight maybe something involving pasta.

[christacular]

smooth black bean soup, skillet cornbread, spinach salad

[TopazBlueMama]

Someone posted the Cincinnati Chili made with Tempeh awhile back, we made that tonight with ww pasta, yumm!

[Suzukimom]

Black Bean Sofrito with whole wheat tacos/ tortilla chips. Southwestern Rice (brown rice with salsa and spices) and salad with avocados.

[UnschoolnMa]

Pizza! I started with a homemade quick dough (no yeast) that I spread Tofutti sour "cream", garlic powder, and some chili powder over. Then I did layers of thin tomato, bell peppers, chopped spinach, some mild salsa, and sprinkles of crushed walnuts on top. It was heavenly.

[TRIBE]

Tonight is black bean quesidilla's but I dont know what to serve with it, any ideas?

[nicole lisa]

I'd do either a soup or salad with the quesadillas.

Tonight is squash soup and spinach salad. I might also have a veggie burger, if that's not too indulgent.

[wildtigercubs]

I have a spinach and pumpkin lasagne recipe somewhere. If I can find the durn thing that's what's for dinner over here (sigh, I wish my recipes weren't such a mess but I never seem to have time to organize them all!)

[christacular]

savory lenti and walnut pie
brown rice
and cauliflower

[HelloKitty]

Pizza with marinara sauce, onions, mushrooms and tofu.

[chanale]

DH is cooking tonight. We're having...

• couscous with raisin-onion confit
• fresh fennel salad
• mint tea [spearmint & gunpowder green tea]

...all from Scent of Orange Blossoms: Sephardic Cuisine from Morocco.

The couscous dish (we're using whole wheat) has almonds and looks sweet. When I saw the photo and ingredient list, it reminded me of the dish I have when we've gone to a Moroccan restaurant in town; I knew we had to try it.

I was pleased to see how vegan-friendly that cookbook is for being omnivore. We have quite a lot of recipes picked out for the week from it, including two yeast breads and one dessert (anise-seed biscuits - I'm using ground flax instead of an egg).

The only dinner we're having this week that's not Moroccan is the cauliflower-leek kugel with almond-herb crust from Vegan with a Vengeance. I even managed to find organic whole wheat matzo for it at the store - times sure have changed.

This sounds divine. Are you able to share the recipe?

Well, I opted against the veggie burger with my soup and salad, but I did make a batch of biscuits to go with them.

[christacular]

i just kind of threw it together, nicole lisa. it was cooked green lentils mashed with ground walnuts and spices, and a thick nutritional yeast gravy. lots of black pepper. baked into a double pie crust.

[nicole lisa]

You natural cooks always throwing something together! I wish I was more intuitive with my cooking.

Tonight was boring: Amy's no-cheese pizza and salad.

But tomorrow's lunch! mmmm. I can already taste it. I spent the day with a great friend who is eating raw right now and she passed along the recipe for something I scarfed while there - just couldn't get enough of it. It's a nut pate. So on the way home DS and I stopped at the grocery store for some celery and headed home to start soaking walnuts and tomorrow morning I'll wake up and get the blender going. Can't wait until lunch.

Tomorrow night will either be pasts or veggie burgers. Either will pale in comparison to lunch .

[christacular]

tonight we had a seitan stroganoff (the sauce was tahini-based, not tofu) and a raw veggie platter.
