I finally feel well enough to have wine. ;
I have had a heavy cold over the New Year and wine has had no appeal or taste for me. I drank a couple of shots of whisky but it felt like I was just going through the motions. I have a few bottles of good Rioja which I'm keeping till I feel that I will appreciate it.

That's my issue as well. I had a wedding to attend last night and actually managed only one glass of wine. This cold is quite stubborn and has morphed into a different cold from the one I started with. I probably should have stayed home all weekend, but I didn't want to miss my second cousin's wedding. :)
 
Tonight I had a buffalo seitan grinder with melted spicy tomato Chao vegan cheese and caramelized onions. I also had a few tortilla chips and pepperoncini. I'm hoping the buffalo sauce helps clear out my sinuses. :D

New Year’s Day plea for good luck dinner: Hoppin’ John, rainbow chard with pomegranate balsamic vinegar, Field Roast apple sage sausage and cranberry sauce.

Well, I've been chilly all damn day so I know I don't feel like having a cold sandwich tonight. I think I'm settling on the idea of making some ancient grains pasta and tossing that with evoo, cannellini beans & Brussels sprouts....

Ya know, I think I'm gonna roast the sprouts first... that way I can leave the oven open afterward. :sadnod: BRRR!!

I am going to make stuffed spaghetti squash. The stuffing will be brown rice, black beans, tomatoes, onions and carrots with lots of garlic, of course. :D I will top it with a little hot sauce.
 
Tonight's a good chili night! I have a jar of mixed beans I've had--a while :confused:? Doesn't even have a date stamp.
Since getting that Instant Pot I've had no need for pre-cooked.

Come on, who else has an Instant Pot? Or other electric pressure cooker?
I want to start a thread :)

Pressure cookers have always scared me. I keep thinking they will explode on me. :D
Chili sounds good, though!
 
Not an electric one! Best thing ever, for beans, one step soups/stews, veggies, pasta, rice, seitan. It's truly set and forget!
Imma make a thread

^ Homemade. I couldn't get my onion salad to taste like the one from Indian restaurants. It was a spoonful of mint sauce that I was missing.

I'm making Quorn "chicken" fajitas tonight.:drool:

I am going to have black bean and rice burritos tonight. It's actually the stuffing left over from the stuffed squash. :D I love repurposed leftovers!

A personal-sized pizza from Brooklyn Boyz.... thin crust, mushroom & green onion, NO CHEESE. Got it home, basted the crust with olive oil, sprinkled everything with garlic powder & nooch (looked to already be plenty of basil & oregano in their sauce), added some Daiya mozzarella shreds & some of my own thinly-sliced red onion, & a few more Daiya shreds.... That'll be set to pop in the oven when I get home tonight, just long enough to cook the onion a bit & melt the "cheese", then I'll add baby spinach & fresh tomatoes, and finish it off in the skillet. :)

I am having a spinach salad with walnuts, raisins, Gardein 7-grain tenders, onions, pickles, pepperoncini and olives topped with Italian dressing. I think hot chocolate and popcorn will be on tap for a snack later. :)

I made three recipes from Isa Chandra's low-fat cookbook: the butternut squash coconut rice, the pineapple collards, and the broiled blackened tofu. Pretty good, but not worth all the effort I put into it. H liked the blackened tofu, and it was easy to make, so I'll probably make that again and serve it with regular rice and whatever else.

ETA: Actually, the tofu would taste good with baked sweet potatoes or roasted butternut squash. Easy peasy.
