Taco night. Savory seitan steaks from American Vegan Kitchen, sliced and sauteed with cumin and chile powder, homemade flour tortillas, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onions, cilantro, and spicy sauce made from chipotles and Vegenaise.

We had tacos too, but from the taqueria. I had two delicious corn/mushroom/pepper tacos with spicy salsa verde and three with refried pintos and habanero salsa. Both with guacamole and the freshest corn tortillas that make me miss the Mission in San Francisco.

Food from my favourite Chinese take away. Mock duck and pancakes, black bean tofu and sweet and sour tofu.

Jackfruit Carnitas tacos, ayeeeee!

Celeriac and potato gratin, sauteed cabbage, veggie sausages, and red onion chutney.

Red lentil soup with houmousy bread!

Going out to dinner where I am going to have spinach salad and request sub portobello mushroom for gorganzola cheese, which they will probably charge me a million dollars for. I might also get fries so I don't feel sad and hungry. Also will have a glass of wine, unsure what color at this time.
Eating dinner out as a gf vegan can be a challenge. This place has a whole gf menu but it's mostly meat, fish, and gf bread products and pizza shells which contain egg :/

Leftover sweet potato burgers from the Lunchbox Bunch blog, that have been in my freezer for well over a month. Meh, they're okay.

Tofurkey hot dogs then purely decadent ice cream.

I'm hosting some company and we're having smoked serrano tomato bisque, roasted hokkaido pumpkin swiss-style fondue, garlic tots, chipotle ranch, raw veggies and sugar cookies. Woo!

Slow-cooked bbq seitan hoagies and tots. Cookies for desert, I haven't baked in a long time!

The last of the tacos, rice and peapod salad, and fries.

I've got friends coming round & I'm making...

Garlic, rosemary & sea salt focaccia (recipe from Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen)
Chickpea & rosemary soup
Eggplant parmigiana
Beetroot, orange & walnut salad (recipe from Big Vegan)
Warm lentil salad (1000 Vegan Recipes)
Black bean & chargrilled corn salad (bit of an odd one out because it's not Mediterranean but I just made some smoky pepper mayo & want to use it!)
Coffee cake with fresh cherries (the Vegan Brunch recipe which is the BEST coffee cake I've ever made)

Sweet potato gnocchi and broccoli in tarragon cream sauce (from the test kitchen, been meaning to make this one for ages!) and garlic bread. The plan was homemade cheesecake ice cream for dessert, but I helped myself to so much of it during the churning and chilling that I've probably already eaten more than one person should today.

Three bean chili from the Vegan Table and cornbread. Oh, and if I don't fall asleep first since we just finished dinner and it's past 10, I'll be cutting into the pumpkin cherry bundt cake (Big Vegan) I made today! Must... stay... awake...

Karena, your dinner sounds amazing!

Mexican take out! I ordered a burrito bowl from a new to me place, hopefully it's delicious!

Making sushi - ingredients include avocado, peanuts, marinated shiitakes, cucumber, asparagus, scallions to be combined in various ways.

I'm going to my husband's work holiday party tonight. I'm certain that the only things there that I'll be able to eat are olives and booze.

I don't eat olives, but I think I would still be ok with that menu

I'm going to a birthday celebration at a bar that has a vegan banh mi I've been wanting to try, so....

Not the sweet hereafter one though, right? Because that one kind of sucks. :(

I will be eating turnip cakes, hot and sour soup, and soya balls. Chinese take-out while I work an annoying event into the wee hours.

Wine

Dude, it got way better! They switched up the bread situation and while yeah, I'm no traditionalist and get it sans cilantro, the giant slices of jalapeno make me happy.

Soya ballz!

Baked/fried tofu, rice and peapod salad, "zesty crunchy" coleslaw (yay deli), and stuffing.
