What's For Dinner Tonight (Veggie Version)? (saffron, cutlet, soy, vegetable)

[fireandice1000]

225g vegan chicken (Morningstar patties work best here)
1 pkg tortillas (whatever brand you prefer, I prefer Buena Vida by Azteca)
100 - 150g shredded lettuce
200g shredded cheese (Galaxy Foods makes shredded cheese that has no rennet for semi-vegan folks)

Seasoning (for vegan chicken)

Salt
Black Pepper
Oregano
Cilantro
Garlic

Really simple recipe; just take the spices and sprinkle them on the patties while you cook them on the stovetop. I usually stick to equal amounts on the spices since excess salt can make this taste funny. Once you've cooked the patties, slice and dice them how you like and serve on a taco bar. This can also work with any kind of ground meat substitute if you prefer 'hamburger' over 'chicken'. Serve with your choice of Spanish rice and beans (I use Bush's beans and La Preferida Spanish RIce) and salsa for garnish. It works for me, anyways.

Inari sushi, but with quinoa rather than rice, rice vinegar, kizami shoga (pickled, shredded ginger) and Korean sushi garnish (dried carrot, dried onion, and sesame.

Furthermore, the quinoa has black sesame, hemp powder, and a few dashes of a Japanese pepper mix.

Basically, each one of these guys is like 15 Mg of totally organic vegan protein. This whole endeavor is because as I've started to become fit again, I've once again realized how important your diet is. On days where I stick to whole/ancient grains, clean proteins, low sodium, etc., I can easily do 30 miles on my bike. On days where I slipped and went to Chipotle, I feel like I'm done after fifteen.

That, and I've remembered how much protein shakes suck.


vegetarian beer chili with fresh baby heirloom tomatoes, black beans, Boca soy protein, red quinoa, hemp powder, fresh corn off the cobb, fresh green, onions. Garnish is chive yogurt, cheddar cheese, and ghost pepper hot sauce.

For spices, red arbol and New Mexico chili powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and cumin that I ground up in a mortar and pestle immediately before cooking.

I'm excited! DD dropped in on her way home from work last night with a stack of homemade tamales and salsa cruda. Her salsa - I could drink it.


I've got some leftover pork roast that she marinated in citrus and spices and I'll make up a few enchiladas to accompany the tamales.


Maybe make some rice with peppers, onions and cumin?
