Meatloaf Dinner

This was a very Norman Rockwell dinner- except for the fact we ate it in the living room while watching tv.

I bought a fieldroast meatloaf and baked it according to the directions. I was tasty and as good looking as a meatloaf could ever be. The mashed potatoes were totally amazing. Instead of stirring in soy milk, I stirred in some vegetable stock. That made them really flavorful.

The green beans were steamed, then buttered and topped with a little salt and pepper.

My favorite!

I love this pasta! I would've never thought potatoes should go in pasta but they really work in this dish. I like using purple potatoes to add a little color to the plate. I love the crispy green beans too. It's all covered in a delicious pesto....mmmm!

Make this!! You'll love it!

Soy-Mirin Tofu Over Rice with Broccoli and Peanut Sauce

I made this using this recipe from veganyumyum :)

More Vegan Cheeses

These are just so pretty I had to share the picture! This time Sean made two new flavors: jalapeño and horseradish

Mmmm!

Deviled (not) egg salad sandwiches

So besides BBQ, the food item Ryan misses most is deviled eggs. When I saw this recipe in my newest edition, I knew it was the first thing I wanted to make. Technically it was the 2nd though because I made the green monster bread first (see previous post) I made the garbanzo and tofu versions, they were both amazing. I think from now on I'll make a batch of each and mix them together. I really mashed up the garbanzos and the texture was reminiscent of egg yolk. The tofu version is more like the egg white so I figure if I mix them together it'll be perfect. You all know how I love doubling a recipe! The crunch from the optional pretzels was great and the fresh, baked from scratch bread was incredible. Everybody loved this (well, Max tolerated it). I served the sandwiches with Lotsa veggie lentil soup from appetite from reduction. This was the healthiest, veggie filled soup and sandwich meal I've ever had! Mia and I had a sandwich for breakfast this morning. I'm still full 7 hours later and I ran 6 miles! Definitely going to make this often.

Green Monster Bread

This is the first recipe I made from my new cookbook Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day. It is so delicious, super easy, and green! It will be perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Here's a collage of the various stages of yeasted bread baking.

Chik'n Potpie

This was a super yummy dinner. I got the recipe from two places. The recipe for the filling came from Vegan Cooking for Carnivores and the recipe for the crust is from Vegan Junk Food. Both of these cookbooks are well worth the cost!! 

The filling was filled with veggies and gardein scallopini.

The crust was easy to make and came out delish!
