Last night we ate at our friends' house. They're quite adept at cooking vegan, having cooked for me often over the years, but they're also doing a cleanse where they only eat vegan, mostly whole-foods meals, so last night's was especially healthy.
There was sweet-and-sour red cabbage, Thai chickpeas over rice, and--my personal favorite--lima bean salad with sweet chili dressing. That is going into the lunch rotation when the weather's warmer! I had no idea that lima beans could be so huge and have such lovely texture, like butter beans. They've always been smaller and pale green with a weird texture whenever I've had them.

Tonight, I made vegetarian (most likely vegan) chili from scratch. It's great on a winter night. Two nights ago I made vegan curried butternut squash soup from scratch. Also good for winter.

Of course, my only exposure to them was as part of frozen mixed vegetables as a kid. My mom insisted I eat them and I disliked them so much I learned to swallow them like pills!
Keep up the great posts. I love seeing your dinner, even though they do set off cravings for me!
