i had bean tacos last night, and i made *cheesy fiesta potatoes* with tater tots and the vegan nacho sauce from yellow rose recipes. not exactly fine dining, but it was good!
When I go to the Czech republic, I buy dehydrated tofu "meat" strips.
They're similar to Morningstar Frams frozen chicken strips but cost about 20% of Morningstar Farms, have a longer shelf life and don't need refrigeration.
I made a variation on tuna-noodle casserole a few weeks ago with this meat substitute.
Down home delicious.
My next goal is to learn to cook for less than 6 people.

Tonight I had a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich with heavy dark sunflower seed bread (whole grain) and a big bowl of the spinach-leek soup I made on Saturday.
the texture was awesome, but i either need better bbq sauce for the purpose or something else to flavor it. it tasted fine, but not amazing. i think i'm going to try this one next time i get a can of jackfruit:
by the way, cleaning up my slow cooker after that bbq jackfruit has been an ordeal - i'm still working on it 2 days later! the sugar from the sauce is all burnt & melded to the cooker. the cleanup has made the dish officially not worth it, but i'll still try other variations.

Thanks for the warning. I still want to try that jackfruit though. I had the same sticky problem when making sweet & sour "pork" (TVP) with canned pineapple. A few moments inattention and I had a layer of burnt stuff on the bottom of the pot. Gotta watch that sugar
Tonight was a lazy Sunday dinner. I fried up some chopped red peppers, onions, dulce & garlic in olive oil & added it to 2 cans of black beans, 2 cans of canned chopped tomatoes. Added TVP & red chile powder for a vegetarian chili. Served with whole wheat tortillas.

When I do something like that, I take Dawn liquid detergent and fill the vessel up with water, put it aside for a day or 3 (when I remember) and it is usually easy to clean.
Worth a shot.

Tonight I made a kohlrabi schnitzel sandwich.
German bread crumbs accept a higher heat before burning.
Even I can cook now.
Today it was Tofurkey, Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Caramelized Onions and Pistachios, Mashed Potatoes (with Earth Balance) and Gravy, Stuffing, Fresh Cranberry and Orange Relish, Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies!
