Vegan dinner ideas

[Wishin986]

yesterday i had a huge and amazing lunch!

I had mock chicken carolina bbq on a ww dinner roll and lots of steamed broccolli. also had lots of free samples in whole foods bc I think they just got their shipment in! haha it was exciting. (side note - there was more mock chicken bbq that I had besides what was on the roll)

Today we will have chilli, I made it yesterday and I have tried it.
I fried 3 chopped onions in some sunflower oil, then added some chili powder, some turmeric, some black pepper, ginger powder and some Fern's hot garlic pickle. I then added 2 red peppers, 2 sticks of celery, and 2 carrots, chopped. Then a cupful of quinoa, a cupful of dried aduki beans and a cupful of dried black eyed beans.
I added water by approximating. Then I cooked it some more, then I added some carob powder and tomato puree, and some salsa, adding more water as the beans cooked.
I served it with rice, apricot spread and vegan sour cream. Today I may do some extra vegetables (green beans and sweetcorn) to go with it.

I'm planning on a big salad (have to use up some lettuce before it goes bad), a baked or mashed sweet potato, and maybe some hummus if I feel like making some.

mmm tigerlily i envy you. all ive been craving lately is salad!!! i so badly wish we had some fresh veggies!

tonight were going to have tacos and veggie/bean/lentil/rice soup. mmmm. my stomachs growling just thinking about it.

[Tigerlily]

Yeah, I spent 20 dollars on produce and it's almost gone!

[foxytina_69]

argh thats annoying! i hate how fast produce goes lol.

[Tigerlily]

I know. I guess I'm eating a lot of it. I hope my mom goes shopping and buys some. I'm too cheap.

[foxytina_69]

hahaha.

[Tigerlily]

Haha.

[foxytina_69]

hmmm tonight i think ill just have leftovers, like soup and salad. or ill bake rice bread today and make myself some "tuna" melts with a salad.

[Wishin986]

most likely food from the pit. i always either get food from the dining hall or go to whole foods and i dont think ill really have the time for whole foods tonight plus im trying to cut back on spending! but the pit gets really monotonous - its pretty much plain salad and pretzels or now sometimes sauteed veggies and pretzels. occasionally they have a veggie soup. so boring!

chilli & rice

Amy's pizza!!! And beer!!! :D

It's my cheat day woohoo ;)

[strawberry]

Roxy, have u seen the new Amys vegan pizza now w/ vegan cheese and rice crust? it looks delicious!

[Roxy]

You made me gasp!!! No I haven't seen it :eek:

You know though, there seem to be quite a few more Amy's products available down in the States than what we get up here. If I ever get over the border to Seattle, I'm going to take a cooler bag with me! :D

[strawberry]

I should send you one! haha but yeah it looks delicious and its finally vegan! I'll try it and let you know how it is :)

[Roxy]

Mmmmm - please do let me know what you think. Foxytina would probably be able to eat it too if it's rice crust! :D

[Wishin986]

strawbs - I had heard about it - its the spinach one, right? But I have yet to see it at any whole foods! so I havnt tried it yet. they still only have the no cheese one. ohhh welllll.

i had a really good dinner tonight that I havnt had in ages from our a la carte pay separately dining hall. a real big wrap w. hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. w. a pickle. and 16 oz of ministrone soup. I hate it at the new cafe section in the library (aka just a place for people to eat and study w/o bringing food into the actual library off of the 24 hr study rooms) :D

[foxytina_69]

omg lol. i would start screaming!

[Roxy]

At the pizza or at Wishin and her dining hall?

[veganvita]

[foxytina_69]
