WOW, that looks amazing!!!Woo-hoo, made a pizza from scratch!Rolled out my dough, spread with my cashew-cheese sauce, sprinkled with nooch & roasted garlic powder, added chopped baby spinach & fresh oregano, then sliced onion & sliced mushrooms, then the last little bit of tomato & some basil... and the "cheese"is the rest of my Go Veggie, a slice of Chao, & some nooch, all finely chopped up in the Zyliss. Gonna pop this baby in the freezer for whenever.

**grumble** I need a somewhat pleasant & productive distraction... gonna try making flax crackers.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope. Not today. Made the dough, tried to flatten it on a sheet using my hands, using my rolling pin... what a sticky mess.
I'll try again tomorrow.... maybe. I'm sure as hell not wasting two cups of ground flaxmeal.
Anyhoo, my mother has a 7:00 meeting... I said I'd heat up some vegan quiche & casserole for my folks before they leave for the theatre (in a little over an hour). I've found the quiche heats up beautifully in my little skillet. I'll just get started on that. I'm glad they're finally gonna try some of this!

This is total munchie-fueled experimentation.... 
I had a tiny of of sautéed veggies left (not enough for a sammich), and some of the potato/Brussels sprout casserole left in the bowl I reheated for my folks (they mainly ate the quiche... well, my dad did... they were going to their usual restaurant after the meeting)....
I took a Flatout wrap out of the freezer (it's in the oven now), I've got the sautéed veggies in the skillet, I'll add the casserole sh*t soon... yeah, mixin' dishes in a wrap! Gonna add Chao "cheese" & baby spinach after the taters 'n sprouts....

Gonna make my first vegan spinach-artichoke dip! With tofu! I'm glad I'll be able to use my remaining onion.... I've also got three large mushroom caps left, so why not sauté those with the onion & garlic!
OMG, I love appetizer-type stuff, finger foods, chips & dips & snacky sh*t.... And this will actually be GOOD for me!!

I'm putting together quite a hodgepodge of at least four different leftovers... it'll have lentils/garbanzos/brown rice, potato/Brussels sprout stuff, lentil/vegetable soup... I've also got broth to use up, as well as some cashew-cheese sauce... the only produce I have is peeled garlic, half an onion, & some almost pathetic-looking baby spinach... I could even toss in a bag of frozen broccoli & cauliflower....
I think I'm just going to incorporate things little by little & make a casserole that I can bake later on.
I won't get very far today, maybe just sautéing stuff & making a sauce of some sort. It's a work in progress....

Continuing with the mish-mash, hodgepodge, whatever-I-have-left-in-the-kitchen casserole thing.... I put the lentil/garbanzo/brown rice dish back in the freezer (anything with beans, legumes, & rice will make a decent wrap)... I was able to use up the last of my sad-looking produce (not much), poured in the last little bit of my veggie broth, emptied out the jar of my cashew-cheese sauce, stirred that in there.... I plan to add my thawed lentil/vegetable soup, the remaining frozen diced potatoes, the bag of frozen broccoli & cauliflower... and throw all that crap in a baking dish to see what happens.
You know what? Scratch the soup, too... that's going back in the freezer.... what I see happening in the saucepan with just the veggies & sauce looks like it'll be quite nice.

Downloading a game demo while my casserole concoction is in the oven.... the dish was in the fridge until shortly ago, didn't want to put it in a hot oven. Put it in cold, gradually increasing heat... getting a little impatient, but it's only a little after midnight... let's have a bit of wine & such....
I made a huge pot of marina sauce and four stuffed peppers.
Today it's cool, so I'm going to roast two small eggplants and make baba ganoush, with garlic, basil, good olive oil, salt and lemon. I'm craving it.
ETA: Done!

Prepping fresh produce for sautéed veggie sammiches. Actually, I could make any number of sandwich/wrap combos... I'll have the veggies, plus I've got falafels, hummus, & tabouli at the ready, as well as my spinach-artichoke dip.... Oh, it's so nice to have options!
Better get to scrubbin' those 'shrooms.... scrub-scrub, chop-chop, slice-slice, sauté-sauté....
Ya know, I think I'm gonna add the remaining little bit of frozen chopped broccoli to the veggies, as well....

I am going to make seitan sausages today, finally! I have been craving them all week.

Just started tinkering around in the kitchen.... I'll be makin' what should be a killer "banjo-bean" dip with roasted garlic & roasted red peppers (otherwise known as hummus). Already pulverized the dry-roasted garlic (wish that food processor wasn't so deafeningly loud)... took out the garbanzos, roasted peppers, tahini, sesame & olive oil, nooch, the colander (for draining/rinsing the beans & peppers)....
So, the folks are back, Dad went to bed (seems grumpy), Mom's watching the 10:00 news (far too loud, she seems a little loopy)... I've got the fixins out, let's get to it!
**sigh** I really need to find out what's wrong with my camera, my old phone sucks. LMAO

Roasting a pouch (1 bulb, approx. 13 cloves) of pre-peeled garlic in evoo. I'll have to start on a sauce soon, wanted roasted garlic first.
Then I'll have to use another pan to cook the damn noodles, I'm thinkin' my big skillet will do. Hopefully the sauce (basically just gonna be petite diced tomatoes, garlic, herbs, spices, nooch, & chopped baby kale) will have cooled enough to pulse in the food processor.... I want smooth sauce for the mini-lasagna rolls....

OK... sauce is made (about to be blended smoother), noodles are boiled & cut in half, got the dip outta the fridge, basted the baking dish with roasted garlic olive oil.... I'm only going to prep the dish, it's already goin' on 6... I can pop it in the oven tonight or tomorrow.

Grrr, what a mess. I've dirtied way too many dishes for this. And I probably should've boiled the noodles for another minute... they're not cooperating very well.... **sigh** Just finish the stupid things.... LOL

Here's the prep:
And the ready-to-bake:
