Probably just some leftover vegetable barley soup from the freezer, steamed frozen veggies, and roasted brussel sprouts. I really need to go shopping.

We ended up having crispy salt and pepper tofu sprinkled with rice vinegar and red pepper flakes, plus kimchi and rice. It was really good and satisfying.

Tofu pan-fried in olive oil, kale seasoned with soy sauce, and brown rice, all mixed together.

Tonight I'm making some pistachio-"ricotta," basil, and spinach stuffed manicotti baked in pomodoro sauce and sprinkled with some hazelnut-"parmesean." On the side, some broccolini sauteed in olive oil, garlic, and red chili flakes. And for dessert, some white chocolate mousse topped with strawberries.

The pistachio ricotta is in the blender right now. :) Yum...

I'm having the Tomato-Rice Soup with Roasted Garlic from V'con. Plus roasted brussel sprouts, sweet potato chunks, and red bell pepper.

Spent the day making VWAV Knishes, and now I've finally used up my 10lb bag of potatoes that I bought in early September.

Curry. Tonight's has sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes, baked tofu, peas, and a mess of spices.

Instead of cooking dinner at home, I went to a Mediterranean restaurant for hummus, tahini and babaganoush.

We also had curry tonight...basically, I made the VWAV Chickpea-Spinach Curry with less spinach and added cauliflower, with brown basmati rice on the side.

So jealous!

Peanut butter sandwich on stale sourdough bread, eaten during my 10 minute break at work. It was sad.

We had Veganomicon Chickpea Cutlets with Mustard Sauce, steamed kale and cherry tomatoes, and baked acorn squash with brown sugar, EB, and pepper. And Oatmeal Cake for dessert. This unemployment thing is working to my benefit, in the kitchen at least.

Found some (vegan) Halloween soup at Sainsbury's yesterday! It's called witches brew and is made with pureed pumpkin and beans. SO GOOD! I might have it for dinner again tonight.

Boyfriend finished his thesis today, so to celebrate I'm making his favourite for dinner. Marinated baked tofu burgers and spicy sweet potato fries.

Since I had the salad yesterday, today I'll have the last potato spinach square with something on the side. Maybe a chickpea cutlet? Or tofu again? Hard.

I have a dinner date with a PPKer here: http://www.dkportland.com/pdf/DK_menu.pdf
haven't been yet, but looking forward to it.

I have a mushroom lasagna in the oven right now. It smells so good in here!

Lazy night, so I'm having a chocolate-strawberry-pb smoothie.

I have been eating VV orange mojo tofu with brussel sprouts tonight. I never thought I would like brussels as they have been boiled to deathly grossness at ever family xmas dinner ever... but who knew roasting them the V'con way would make me love them so?!

Chipotle burrito! It was late lunch/early dinner, and it was gooooood.

I ordered in some pizza, because I've had a really long week and I have no energy to cook and no social interaction left to go grocery shopping for something frozen that I can heat up. So, pizza with red onions, tomatoes, and roasted red peppers. I ordered it without cheese, and was kind of thinking about adding some Daiya, since I've got a bag in my freezer, but, really, no energy for even that.

Chole (aka: channa masala) with habaneros. <3
Cinnamon scented rice.
And for dessert: cannoli stuffed with the rest of the pistachio ricotta I made last night.

Nachos, with a black bean, chickpea and steel cut oat sauce (and veggies in there) guacamole and daiya..... the sauce is an experiment so we'll see how that works.

Easy: brown rice pasta with marinara (from a jar!) and lentils, sauteed kale.

Yummy leftovers: garlicky broiled tofu, udon noodles, and beet salad.
