Sometimes you just want simple....sometimes extremely simple. Really was not in a cooking mood today but had to have something for supper. I ended up having veggie burgers (only ate one after) and a baked potato. It was tasty (I love potato) and satisfying. Also found a great new snack today :) These are delicious. I find them similar to German chocolate cake; super yummy.

Tried yet another new and very good vegan recipe :) Tonight we had Tex Mex Casserole. Of course, I made some tweaks and also made a mistake but it still turned out good. I added the entire 14 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the 1 cup, Oops. I didn't bake in the oven as the recipe said (why mess up an extra dish to wash?) so it wasn't really a casserole I guess :) The taste and spice was really good. Hubby thinks it would be great as a taco filling. I had mine with blue corn chips and avocado and it was great. The only thing I wasn't overly fond of was the kale. It just seemed like it didn't belong in this dish. Next time I will cut it much smaller or may just use spinach instead.
Another great recipe! Made Paella Primavera tonight for dinner and it was really good. I made a few tweaks of course, and it could probably use a little more seasoning as I didn't have the saffron, but myself and Hubby really enjoyed it. I really loved the addition of olives in this dish; I used all black olives due to personal preference.
Tried two new recipes today and they were both excellent! So great after last nights recipe fail :( First I made a Vegan Banana Bread, but I used gluten-free flour. This turned out great. I had to bake it for an extra 5 minutes over the max baking time and it was still very moist. I added some dark chocolate chips and walnuts as well :) Very tasty and will definitely be making again. For dinner tonight I made Garbanzo Stir-Fry and was actually surprised at how much I liked it. It was excellent. I will be making this again soon as well. I made basmati rice to have with it. Yummy :)
Always disappointing when you are really looking forward to a new recipe but it ends up really letting you down, sigh. Made Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta tonight and it was not good at all. I had high hopes for this but it ended up with barely any taste. Hubby didn't even finish his :( I seasoned the sauce like suggested but all I ended up with was a heat from the crushed red pepper and barely any other taste at all. One positive though, I ended up trying a new gluten-free pasta that seems pretty good. I have a corn based one that I like and use often but don't think all the corn is agreeing with me stomach-wise. Tried this one tonight, no ill effects yet, and think it would be good to use again but just in a better recipe.
Tried another new vegan recipe today and this is probably one of my favorites so far :) I made Spring Veggie Tacos and they were really tasty. Of course, I made a few tweaks, nothing huge. Will definitely be making again :) I did roll it up to eat it but once it was rolled I wasn't putting it down to get another pic, that's how good it was :)
Also went shopping today and got a few vegan and gluten-free treats :) I love summer break! |
