I don't like to have a hot meal when it's scorching but had no time to make anything. I reheated some leftover (a very small portion)
Madras style soya curl & sweet potato curry with whole grain rice plus sliced bananas.

Adorkable rockstar!
I put some jackfruit, BBQ sauce, onion, garlic and a variety of other condiments and spices in my crockpot and I think I will roast some corn to go with it for dinner.
found a recipe for tofu alfredo sauce and tried it with spaghetti - it was just okay - sauted onion and garlic, then put in lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and a cup of the pasta water and used the immersion blender - threw a few capers and juice on top with chili peppers - it was just okay - a bit lacking in flavour - have some leftovers so we'll see if it is better the second day

A salad; warm potatoes, corn, rocket, chicory, cherry yellow & red tomatoes, chopped Gyros tofu (which I don't like) plus vinaigrette and yeast flakes.

That sauce sounds good, and it should be tasty, but I think the pasta water takes away from the flavors of things. My mom will sometimes mix it with pesto for pasta, and I think it diminishes the pesto flavor even though it helps mix it with the pasta.
I'm having a Whole Foods meal of grilled mango tofu (this is really tasty), roasted asparagus and cauliflower and a corn, pepper and tomato salad. Half a vegan vanilla cupcake (also from WF) for dessert. I was on the road a lot and knew that I would miss lunch, so I stopped at WF on the way home for the meal because I was famished. Poor planning on my part, but in my defense, I had to go to the hospital (in RI) late last night to see my dad. He got sent there for what turned out to be a stomach bug. I was very happy it wasn't anything more serious. He is back at the nursing home, and I visited him today, and he was doing pretty well.
For me, the only thing that gives a cheesey taste is culturing--either adding soy yogurt, or culturing a block of tofu, or cashews
If you can't get soy yogurt, try getting some probiotics, or a couple tbls yogurt, and adding to blended tofu and letting sit in a warm place for a day
I haven't tried making rejuvalac, but that's supposed to be a good option
It's kinda been my latest hobby
That does sound good though. I've only had capers once and cant' think how they taste.
I always think of adding dijojn mustard to nooch sauces--and miso
mustard!! that's what was missing - I always have Colman's or Keen's as I use it a lot - that would definitely have helped
capers are so great - very salty, almost like pickles without the sweetness
last night I made jasmine rice in the cooker, Ikea veggie balls with some Korean BBQ sauce and steamed brussel sprouts and put a little sauce made from Colman's mustard, lemon juice and a bit of Vit C as fake lemon juice has none

yes, I agree - there was way too much pasta water and my honey did the final 'amalgamation' in the pot and kept adding more water... grrrr

A cup of pasta water is far too much. I use a tiny amount just to thicken the sauce.
thing is that the soft tofu makes it very thick and so it does need to be thinned.... just not so much

When you puree tofu and add it to hot pasta, it automatically becomes thinner.
okay, thank you - I will try that next time
we had the leftovers of this dish last night and it was very stuck together - along with some hummus and veggies and tortilla chips - celery, zucchini sticks, cherry tomatoes, stuffed olives

I'm going to use leftover BBQ tofu to make tacos. I'm going add, corn, red onions, arugula, a spash of lime juice and a little vegan mayo. I'm sort of making this up. Red cabbage would be great with this, I think, but I don't have any.
