What Did You Cook or Bake today?

I made spaghetti aglio e olio with sliced black olives for my dad. He's been getting lax on cooking (he's 87), so my sister and I have been making some meals here and there to mix up the menu a bit. I saved one small serving for me because this is one of my all-time favorite dishes. I added red pepper flakes to mine, though, because I like a little heat. It's sooooooo good. I may throw some fresh basil in mine when I eat it.
 
I had that three nights in a row, lol. Minus the black olives. But that does sound good. I’ll have to add some next time. I usually add broccoli. I really like the shredded vegan parmesan from Aldi. I bought two containers when I went last time.

Have you had FYH parm? I used to really like it on pasta, but the last one seemed meh.
I don't even know if Aldi even still has their parm....

Yes pretty sure I’ve had fyh and liked it. Haven’t had it recently.
 
today we are making split pea soup (yellow) with onions, celery, a bit of smoke and some soy curl crumbs and I made a Betty Crocker carrot cake with the rest of the liquid Just Egg - this time I am going to freeze it in small squares so that we have just a bit of it for dessert instead of eating a third of the cake at a time (this time I used water instead of oatmilk and I also used apple sauce instead of oil)

There is a restaurant that my dad has taken me to ever since I was little, and they have spaghetti aglio e olio on the menu, with the black olives option, which I have just loved. The broccoli sounds great, too, though. It's such a great dish.
 
I have made zucchini-banana chocolate chip muffins, zucchini cakes (faux crab cakes) and currently have spaghetti sauce cooking in the crockpot. I plan to make seitan sausages and possibly soy curls chicken salad. I need to make pesto and hummus, but that might be for tomorrow. :) Yep, it's food prep day!

I made soy yogurt, and gyro seitan. The seitan came out bready :confused:. First time since winter I did it in the oven and appartently too high heat. I used to default to 340, but followed directions for 350 without thinking. It's still good, I dislike the crust though. It'll be find with tzatziki.
Now I want to make pitas tomorrow, or maybe should leave it up my son
Tomorrows lentil soup
 
Cookies…I baked them and ate them but didn’t make them, haha. Sweet Lorens.

It isn't "cooking" but I bought some porridge and I want to start making overnight oats. I did try it before, but I didn't stick to it.

Made some pesto with fresh basil, evo, pumpkin seeds. I always add a sprinkle of garlic with sea salt just
before adding the pasta plus some grated vegan cheese.

once a year my grocery store brings in huge basil plants for $8 - yesterday I bought one and plan to make pesto too and then keep buying them until I have enough to last until next year

I paid 2.60 Euros for mine. Sadly, my freezer has died so I'll just be able to eat the pesto during the next few days.
