0°, wind, snow, and the only thing I have to make is an Amy's frozen mac-n-cheese (I didn't buy it)... which is kick *** with me. All I need to do is nuke it, nooch it, and add the last of my baby spinach & diced Roma tomato.

It's gonna be good comfort food for such a sh*tty night.... :up:I just wish there weren't so little of it. :rolleyes: LOL

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, I added the aforementioned remaining produce & there is FAR more spinach than mac-n-cheese here... couldn't even fit all that crap in the same dish until I nuked it a bit more. It's way more healthy now, right? :weird: LOL

I am making chocolate cupcakes to bring to work tomorrow. I have not decided what flavor of frosting I will top them with. Options include chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, mocha/coffee or orange. Decisions, decisions.

I want mocha! :D
 
Making a tiny bit of veggie rotini to stir into the last little bit of my Italian vegetable soup....
 
Hey, this is what Jer just made! :) It's the electric chair for the university's next show (Assassins)....

This afternoon, I will be attempting to make some sort of vegan cheesy-broccoli-pasta bake. :)

I've got all the fixins set....

Now I just need to actually DO something. LOL :rolleyes: It may not end up looking very attractive, what with the dark green rotini (which I plan to undercook so it doesn't get mushy in the oven)... also gonna boil the broccoli florets with the pasta.... for the "cheese" sauce, I'll sauté a little onion, add some creamy vegan broccoli soup, & stir in a sh*t-ton of nooch. :p

Of course, I'll be using my fave herbs & spices.... also strongly considering adding some baby arugula to this, just for a little extra added healthy umph! ;)

Well, let's see how it goes, shall we? :chef: **shrug**

Lightly toasting a half-pound of walnuts.... gonna make a small batch of roasted red pepper/walnut dip.

And I have TWO jars of roasted peppers, so with the second one I think I'll make roasted pepper/red onion/baby arugula-stuffed crescent roll cups. :)

If I have time, I'll make my big batch of sautéed veggies for sandwiches.... If not, that'll be the project for tomorrow.
 
Looking at the above post... yeah, I didn't get very far. LOL :rolleyes: NOW I shall make the red pepper/walnut dip and prep the sautéed veggies! I'll need sammich stuff for two nights of meals at Jerry's....
 
Still have a little bit of that filling I made for the crescent dough cups.... I thought I'd use that and add a can each of diced tomatoes & garbanzos, some more baby arugula, maybe a couple spoonfuls of sautéed veggies... basically make some sort of halfway decent pasta "sauce" for angel hair tonight.
 
Halle-freakin'-lujah! Got 'em rolled, covered, & in the damn freezer. Not gonna think about 'em again until tomorrow when I make a dipping sauce.

When I cook them, I'll only fry the ones I'm confident will not fall apart... for instance, NOT the one in the upper right-hand corner. LOL :dismay:

The bottom-center one looks promising, though! :)

Supplies are limited... still, I'm going to try to whip up a dipping sauce for the egg rolls. I've got roasted red pepper hummus, evoo, dark sesame oil, and bright green wasabi mustard.... I think I'll start throwin' sh*t in the food processor and see what happens. :rolleyes:

I'm using my wit & my will & my leftovers. LOL :up: Two almost empty boxes of angel hair pasta (glad I found the older one... not THAT old, don't get creeped, I sniffed it, it's fine :p)... gonna boil that sh*t for 3 minutes & drain over canned diced tomatoes in the sieve (they aren't no-salt-added, I should rinse them somehow ;))... then throw everything back in the pan, toss with some evoo, the last couple tablespoons or so of vegan creamy broccoli soup, a healthy scoop of my roasted red pepper-walnut sh*t, some nooch, some spices.... sounds righteous. :cool:
 
Makin' some lunch for my father....

14288051_347760722235032_4604895060952088576_n.jpg <---- This stuff. I will not partake as the sauce was not separate (cheese contains "enzymes").... Sure smells good, though! :)
 
Makin' din-din for tonight! :) But my food supplies are extremely limited, so I've gotta work with what I have on hand. I have no fresh produce except for an avocado, which will be an awesome topper/garnish for what I have in mind. I hope to make a tasty, spicy, filling Mexi-bowl of some sort... brown rice, a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatoes, plenty of nooch & spices... and I get to use some of my onion shoots since I have no onion. LOL :rolleyes:

I'll take a pic late tonight right before I eat... don't want the avocado to get brown. ;)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made the boil-in-bag brown rice in the microwave (again, only have one working burner)... and of course it's under-cooked but I couldn't find that out until I snipped the bag open. :| So I poured it out into the Pyrex thing again & added a few spoonfuls of low-salt veggie broth... nuking it a bit more with plastic wrap over it.

I think I may just reheat my rice & bean bowl and save the pupusas for another time... I don't feel like cooking, I'm tired, just wanna have a little wine, listen to some mellow tunes, & nuke my food. Plus, I bought baby kale (to mix in the bowl), two bags (with coupon) of Garden of Eatin' organic tortilla chips (1 no-salt blue corn & 1 surprisingly low sodium larger bag of yellow corn chips [on sale!]), and a jar of Frog Ranch salsa (good stuff/low salt!)....

I'm just gonna heat my sh*t up, top with Go Veggie & avocado, and have some chips & salsa on the side. Aces. :up:

FYI: I just took the plastic wrap off the pre-made bowl & was hit with OMG, THAT SMELLS INCREDIBLE!!! :drool:

And on second thought, I'm not even adding avocado. One, I'm just feeling too lazy... two, I don't actually think it's ripe & tasty enough. Good thing is I have leftover black bean/tomato stuff & lots more brown rice, so maybe tomorrow or the next. ;)
