Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I made a one pot/pan penne pasta again - such a great way to cook and less to wash - onion/garlic/zucchini/mushroom in a heavy bottom fry pan - sauted until cooked, added 1/2 large can of diced tomatoes, dried basil/parsley/saffron and 2 cups of veggie stock, brought to a boil and added two cups of whole wheat penne - simmered with lid of for 12-13 minutes then lid on and turned to low for another 5-7 minutes - did two Italian FieldRoast on the side and then sliced them and put them on top for another few minutes to rewarm them. It was delicious and there are leftovers!!!

I think I'll like this meal. So I copied it to keep it. As I do with many of your recipe hints. One question, did you drain the tomatoes or did you add the juices to the pot?

Simple day today, too busy to cook. 1/2 a cinnamon-raisin bagel with Peanut butter for breakfast; leftover chili and toast for lunch; 1/2 pouch of Uncle Ben's Southwest Style Brown Rice & Black Beans for supper. Will have a clementine for dessert. I had a sourdough rye-hummus-tomato-cucumber sandwich for an afternoon snack too.

Yve's seems very popular. I remember being served something from this brand when I was in BC but wasn't too keen on the taste.:)

they are softer than Gardein, which is why I like them - I find Gardein's too compact and the sauce doesn't penetrate as easily

I used them in my Sweet and Sour meatballs the other day and did find them a bit soft too. I thought maybe I'd airfry them first next time. But I may try Gardein. I see the Gardein stuff is 2/$9 at the moment at Walmart so was going to try some of their items out. Sending hubby over tomorrow for some of it.

I like the “soft” faux meats. Quorn is my favorite because I love the texture but it’s hard to find the vegan ones here. Sometimes I find the spicy patties and tenders which are vegan. But I love the crumbles and they’re not vegan here. Admittedly I do buy them occasionally if stock is low on the vegan products.
I find the Gardein and Boca crumbles to be hard and chewy. I do like the Boca chicken patties, thankfully, and those are vegan.
Maybe I should try yves if I ever see them.

I bought some lovely oyster mushrooms yesterday. I couldn't resist them when I saw how nice they looked in the box. Often they get torn and don't come in such beautiful clusters. I think tonight I will make a mushroom masala. I've been craving curry for a while.

we had some fresh corn on the cob but not enough to make a meal out of them so I used them in couscous - put in the fresh corn, chick peas, cherry tomatoes, green onions, olives, cucumber and made a quick tahini sauce to top it off
