It was really tasty!

Thank you!

Last night I made the sides for a potluck-y dinner with my friend. I made cucumber salad, green beans with a lemon tarragon vinaigrette (LTEV), and the garden variety variation of the caulipots! Oh, and banana bread from Forks Over Knives. Everything was super good!

Did the banana bread taste healthy? Isn't FOK super limited on oil and sugar? Also, was it expensive?

I don't think it tasted any "healthier" than most banana bread recipes, and I really liked it! The bananas keep it really moist (along with the applesauce and maple syrup, probably), and I thought it was plenty sweet enough for a breakfasty item and I have a pretty bad sweet tooth. Cost is going to depend on how much maple syrup is going for in your area. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup, but there aren't any other expensive ingredients in it, so at least it's not TOO bad.

Awesome, thanks! I'll google it :)

Last night was the "Persian multi-bean soup" from Mediterranean Vegan. I completely bastardised the recipe, most significantly by adding three times the amount of spaghetti that I was supposed to, so it was more like slightly liquidy pasta than soup... but it was good stuff! I'm looking forward to the leftovers tonight.

Making a stew with kale, potatoes, onions, sprouted mung beans, sun dried tomatoes, veggie broth, garlic, and spices. Smells so bloody good. :)

Mac and cheese with leftover taco-spiced lentils, avocado, maybe some peas, and salsa.

Sweet potato white bean soup from the Vegan Slow Cooker. And a shiitake ton of almond butter. With a spoon. In my mouth.

Veggie pho with tofu

Leftover pan-fried dumplings and a bowl of cereal. Sad day and I was too hungry/tired to wait for anything decent to cook.

Leftovers from last night: Isa's smoky lentil tomato spinach soup from the PPK blog with a side of toast. Incredibly delicious!

YUM. That looks fantastic. I think you've inspired me to pick up some jackfruit again soon!

I'm just snacking...just roasted a huge bowl of frozen green beans that I tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Better than french fries!

ashley · **Posted:** Thu Mar 14, 2013 6:21 pm

Probably a big bowl of plain lentils

Tzippy · **Posted:** Thu Mar 14, 2013 7:28 pm

hot sauce-glazed tempeh, roasted cauliflower, and spicy sesame noodles

I was stoked when I discovered that roasted green beans, from frozen, are delicious. Boiled, I'm pretty 'eh' on.

Not cooking tonight! We're going to friends for dinner and they're making curry. Okay, I guess I made an apple pie...but that's dessert. Prolly.

Bridgettebakes · **Posted:** Thu Mar 14, 2013 8:15 pm

Stir fry with tempeh over rice! My first time making tempeh and it smells like soy sauce while being steamed. Amazing.

jdfunks · **Posted:** Thu Mar 14, 2013 9:02 pm

more seitan carnitas with kale on the side

ashley · **Posted:** Thu Mar 14, 2013 9:49 pm

Changed my mind and ended up eating steamed kale with marinara and a pita.

Two small whole wheat baguettes filled with curried tofu sandwich filling from 500 Vegan recipes, steamed broccoli and an avocado on the side.

Last night's dinner was awesome. Sushi Guacamole (avocado, ginger paste, sambal oelek, soy sauce, wasabi, and sesame seeds) with cucumber slices
Tonight is leftover soybean taco filling (with mushrooms and vegan gourmet cheese), spinach, and rutabaga home fries.

ashley · **Posted:** Fri Mar 15, 2013 5:54 pm

Leftover chow mein, assuming it's not growing mold in my refrigerator by now. It's been a few days.

Bugs · **Posted:** Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:18 pm

Cauliflower sauteed with garlic, basil, and cayenne with a cashew butter & nooch sauce, and brown rice cooked with veggie stock. :)

vegetable_assassin · **Posted:** Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:37 pm

chili from the crockpot with 3 beans and tvp, cornbread and avocado to put on top. I announced what was for dinner and said, "does that sound like a good enough dinner to you?" sarcastically to my boyfriend, to which he replies in a serious voice, no. So, I'm looking forward to it at least. He probably would be if we had tortilla chips to dip in it.

This is what I'm making! Only, you know, it's not leftovers yet. And it'll be with sourdough rye bread.
