365 days of dinner: Jan. 25-26, 2009

January 27th, 2009 at 09:14 pm

I don't want to jinx myself, but I've done better than I thought at this! I haven't missed a day (unless you count the times I had to photograph leftovers).

Anyway, Sunday night we had what used to be a typical Saturday lunch in NT's childhood: Cornish pasty and chips. We stuffed the pasty with vegetarian burger crumbles, carrot, potato, onion and herbs & spices.



And last night we had a "weekday roast dinner":



Which is basically some kind of easy meat substitute with several sides. This time it was Boca chicken patties topped with instant veggie gravy. One side was oven-roasted broccoli compliments of foodieatfifteen.blogspot.com/, who got it from www.amateurgourmet.com/, who got it from a Barefoot Contessa cookbook. (Whew! I like to give credit where credit is due. Smile ) I was really excited about making this but a tad underwhelmed at the result, but maybe next time I'd roast it for less time and make sure it was piping hot when I served it. Or maybe I've already discovered my favorite broccoli (steamed tender-crisp and tossed with melted margarine, lemon juice, salt and pepper) and will never be impressed by another preparation.

I was more impressed by the random recipe for honey-glazed carrots and parsnips I found on recipezaar.com. These were tasty! And another serving of French fries made the meal quite filling. I was proud of this meal because the only thing new that we bought were the Boca patties ($3.49, and we still have one left over). All the other components were either staples or extra stuff that needed to be used up. Despite that it was a very enjoyable meal!

    I love Boca! And I use a lot of the Morningstar stuff too.

    Mmm, yeah. One of my exceptions to veganism (because they have egg whites in) is anything by Morningstar, but especially their buffalo wings and corn dogs!

    Morningstar corn dogs are the best! Big Grin

    I'm not a vegetarian, and I eat Boca. So much healthier and just as yummy!

    Most of my church are vegetarians, and we only have vegetarian potlucks. I like the corndogs, crumbles, but my fav is the stripples ( bacon)

    Oh yeah, the Morningstar bacon is AWESOME! We also make our own by marinating strips of either tempeh or tofu in soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke and other seasonings overnight, then frying them up the next day.
