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

[Emma JC]

whole wheat penne, lots of garlic, onions, mushrooms, olives, cherry tomatoes and sliced Apple Sage sausage - so delicious and no need to dessert

Ha that's a VERY mixed bag! Perhaps this one sums it up—"Tasty but too crusty"

It's the kind of pizza I'd make at home and be very pleased with the result, but on reflection, for £4.50 I do want a bit more. Maybe their red box pepperoni offers that.

Most nights of the week, I'd buy a Dr Oetker's pizza. It's anything but classy and 'schoolnight' rather than 'datenight', but it doesn't half tick a lot of boxes.

I’m envious @Daxx
Dr Oetker’s Vegan margarita pizza was my Favourite frozen pizza! I prefer a pizza that is rather plain rather than pilled high and I don’t like thick crust… Alas, I haven’t been able to find it here in Ireland for the past few years… There were at least 2 supermarkets that used to stock it, not any more…

Pity :-/
How are the PB sections generally in the Irish supermarkets? In the UK they're still pretty good, but we're definitely past the goldrush of several years ago.

No frozen pizzas over here! Tons of omnis and vegetarian ones but no plant based ones!

A bowl of red lentils, peas, finely diced smoked tofu with a sprinkle of lemon pepper, yeast flakes plus a drizzle of evo.

Apple puree with a few drops of vanilla plus a drizzle of soya cream.
A few squares of mint filled plain chocolate;

Most of the large supermarkets have a small selection of fresh and frozen Vegan options… However, it is not at all at the level that it was a few years ago and none of the pizzas are ones that I would buy…

Just a salad, lettuce, tomato, yellow capsicum, beetroot, carrot and a small piece of tofu. Had no appetite today, skipped lunch and breakfast was 1 slice of dry toast and a banana.

Tonight it is a black bean and sweet potato chilli. Cheap, filling, and dead easy, as you say.

I batch cook it and freeze a few portions for those lazy evenings when cooking feels like a chore. Last week I grabbed the black beans and spices from McGrocer, along with some rice. Works out way cheaper than a takeaway, honestly.

A BOSH! Margarita with veg. It's traditional, understated, and would 100% pass as 'normal' pizza.

We had this last week and it's a very nice pizza. Lovely base. Same with the peppernoni one. But there's about 15 strands of cheese on them... it does annoy me that I have to add my own cheese to a store bought pizza, but they all have this issue!

 

[hungryraccoon]

Chinese tofu traybake (rice, pak choi, peppers, chinese spice tofu all baked in the oven with a sprinkle of flaked almonds on the top.)

 

[alleycat]

Vegie casserole from the freezer stash served with mashed potato. Got enough left over for lunch tomorrow.

 

[shyvas]

Potato & onion Anna served with a tossed salad; chicory, grated carrots, smoked tofu plus a few slices of beetroot with vinaigrette

Apple puree with soya cream.

 

[Emma JC]

made frozen veg blend in the cast iron with onions till a bit charred and had with rice with my mayo, nooch, black pepper and lemon juice

 

[shyvas]

A lentil & oat loaf served with carrots plus evo, fried mushrooms and mushroom gravy. I bought a huge discounted box
of mushrooms (3.200 kg) and shared some with my neighbour. However, I have tons more so will be doing some cooking.

Half a mango.

you know how sometimes meals just taste extra good for no discernible reason? that was last night - the usual souped up rice in the cooker with raisins, fennel seeds, cayenne, garlic powder, turmeric and some chives and then Ikea veggie balls with Korean BBQ sauce - put some hot sauce on top of the rice and wow, it just seemed incredible and spicier that those sauces had been previously - so good

I'll be having a Beyond burger bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onions and some sort of mayo sauce. Tofu chocolate mousse for dessert.

 

[silva]

I have a bag of frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and found the best way to cook them is let them thaw a bit then throw in a hot cast iron till seared a bit, with some minced onions. I had them over rice I mixed with a bit of mayo and nooch and spices.
Wish I'd made more for lunch tomorrow

Creamy whole wheat orecchiette made with the leftover mushroom sauce, topped with fried mushrooms, yeast flakes and
Violife prosociano.

A chicory salad with thinly sliced beetroot, vinaigrette and yeast flakes.

Apple puree with a drizzle of soya cream.
