Oldies but goodies

Just a [link filled] reminder…

Certain recipes are so good they are worth repeating.  Often.

Like quinoa granola.

And egg & kale breakfast strata (in muffin form).

And mushroom miso & squash stew.

And daiya pizza.

And vegetarian chorizo & kale rice casserole.

By the way, I totally figured out what this meal reminds me of.  I am reluctant to share though, since it’s (cringe) Hamburger Helper.  Don’t judge, just make it.

And baked potatoes with the works.

[There’s more of that vegan chorizo]

And mushroom stroganoff.

[I added TVP this time to increase the protein content]

And crock pot corn chowder.

With cornbread on the side.

And, of course, the classic hippie bowl plate.

Last but not least, a non-home cooked meal, but a favorite nonetheless…

Chef Tanya’s Nachos.  This is what I would eat for my last meal.  It is so so good.  And seriously massive.

 

I got a side salad too, because I felt some veg would even things out.  I love how side salads at vegan places are so much better than the average limp romaine crap.  This salad had shredded carrots, shredded beets, sprouts, and home-made croutons with a nice tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

Kyle got the bistro steak sandwich with sweet potato fries and raved about everything.

I realize that was mostly dinner fare.  I’m still off the savory (egg) kick as a way to start the day…still doing more granola and oats.  Hot grains with tons of sweet toppings used to be my standard AM choice, so it’s still weird that pregnancy made me crave different things.  Maybe it’s the protein.  Who knows.  Either way, I’ve been increasing my former fave, the huge oatmeal bowl.  This one had peanut butter & granola.  With a side of decaf chai tea and Real Housewives of BH (we don’t have cable so these episodes are months delayed).
