I've been a really, really lazy cook lately. As you have no doubt noticed, I'm not committed to being vegan full-time anymore and I think in a way it's contributed to the laziness factor, because I can fall back on so many of the old recipes from years past. Here's what we've eaten for dinner this week:
This veggie burger is Morningstar Farms' Mushroom Lovers, which I highly recommend. I don't think it's very mushroomy at all, but it IS delicious. The chickpea pasta salad is one of my all-time favorite things, from Cooking Light.
Then we had bean burritos, which I fancied up by pouring canned enchilada sauce over the top and baking in the oven, then topping with lettuce, tomato, and green onions.
Tonight I made an old favorite again, this Vegetarian Times recipe for linguine in lemon cream sauce. I used some weird specialty pasta that I brought home from work years ago. It supposedly has chocolate and wine in it, but it tasted just like pasta to me.
I always add broccoli to bulk it up.
Here's a weird and exciting thing! About a month ago, a weird plant sprouted out of our chives plant and started growing and growing - we left it there because it looked kind of nice and were interested to see what would happen. Well! It has turned out to be a strawberry plant! We have no idea how that happened. I doubt we could have grown strawberries on our shady back porch if we had actually tried.
I hope we actually get some edible strawberries out of it! That would be pretty awesome.
