I'm going to make a pot pie with chik'n-flavored soy curls, peas and carrots. I usually use all veggies with broccoli plus the peas and carrots, but I'm curious to try the soy curls in it (and I don't have broccoli at the moment ).

Will do!

I got back from my flu jab and had a few crackers with smoked vegan cheeze, toasted pitta bread with houmous and some crisps. Red wine too. I feel okay after the jab so far. Tired for a while and my forehead felt a bit hot, but I took paracetamol.

I am preparing to make stir-fry with tofu, mushrooms and bok choy on seashell pasta, and deciding what else to use.

This is delicious! I'm just eating now (late for me, but no biggie), and I'm loving it with the soy curls. The recipe I use (I just veganize the Betty Crocker recipe) calls for half a teaspoon of salt, but I left that out given the chik'n flavored soy curls were salty enough from being rehydrated in veggie broth. It's wonderful!

I made a vegetable biryani to have as a side dish this week. Tonight I will be having it with a vegan schnitzel.

 

[shyvas]

A leek, mushroom and plant based protein pie (used soya curls) served with potato and parsnip
mash (evo and Toffuti) peas and organic French beans

Cookies and chocolate for dessert. I only had a small Mexican mango though.

North African Spice Soup - so simple and so amazingly tasty... the key is the paste that you make with a tsp each of cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and add it to the broth sauted onions before adding the rest of the broth, carrots, parsnip, celery, potatoes, can of diced tomatoes - I also added a zucchini that needed to be used and a sweet potato and, of course, the can of chick peas and saffron at the end and a bunch of greens. I also added a teaspoon of garlic powder to the paste and used Better than Boullion roasted garlic soup base and some other low sodium veggie soup base. So comforting on a cold evening. And there are leftovers. Not sure why I don't make it more often, other than I also used real ginger in the past, for the paste, and found it annoying and time consuming to try and grate it. Using ginger powder saves time and irritation. Lemon juice when serving it brings out all the flavours.

I find that fresh grated ginger tastes very different to powdered ginger. I like to use the latter for baking only. Have you either tried
ginger paste ( Aldi) or grating it when frozen with a micro plane grater?

I love the sound of that paste concoction! I will be trying this. Tonight I'm going to have more of the veggie pot pie made with soy curls.

 

[HappyRoxy]

Tonight I am going to have have some vegan nuggets with a scoop of my vegetable biryani.

A favorite soup of mine is a Moroccan spice with lentils and chickpeas, but I use a berbere spice blend
I really don't understant the ginger thing! I agree with Shyvas about powdered ginger for baking and fresh for savory. I don't peel, just use a grater, not a microplane either,but the wider one
Same with garlic--I love to mince garlic!

I had a cup of coffee and too much dark chocolate

 

[Emma JC]

hmmm lentils... that would be a great addition to the soup

Last night we had lots of air fried potatoes again with Gardein chckn and Swiss Chalet dipping sauce.

Swiss Chalet dipping sauce.

I've never heard of that before.

 

[Emma JC]

I've never heard of that before.

It's a mostly Canadian BBQ chicken restaurant with a few in the northern states - a very unique spicy sauce.

Last night we had tacos with Gardein ground/onion/jalapeno, pico, greens, salsa, shreds.

I still haven't made soy curls in awhile. Maybe I'll have some tonight with some rice.
