Whatcha Makin'??

Made a nice basil walnut pesto with the Teta garlic dip. Spinach artichoke dip. Steamed brussel sprouts and carrots.
I bought a few marinated gigante beans that were on the olive bar at the store. Freakin' delicious! Why hasn't anyone mentioned these dense and creamy lovely beans?

I want to make a bunch of stuff this weekend, including but not limited to: seitan sausages, hummus, buffalo seitan, black bean burgers and chickpea salad.

The chickpeas are soaking and bonus, I made chocolate chip scones because I wanted one with my tea. The rest are going to the neighbor as part of a thank-you for his clearing my driveway of snow all winter.

So long since I've made bean burgers! I bought black beans this morning and will cook a batch now!
I got an eggplant and a cabbage. I think there's a recipe in Isa's appetite for reduction book using both. I loved that book and haven't used it for some time.
I was thinking of making the seitan salami I like. I'd better clean out the fridge first and see what needs finishing

Another batch of vegan ranch dressing....

Forgot I was gonna prep potato skins for later (pre-bake the naked skins, chop onion, prep the filling), then I got caught up in other things.

OK, quickly, quickly.... preheating the oven & choppity-chop-chop.... LOL

Yes, that, I think, is what I shall do... tortillas are large-ish, won't need more than two.

Gonna reheat some roasted veggie taco filling... when it's heated enough, I'll sprinkle in the Daiya shreds so they get melty. Meanwhile, I'm gonna spread soft wheat tortillas with my concoction of roasted cauliflower-cheese, ranch, fresh avocado, lime juice, fresh cilantro, chipotle powder, etc. (I tasted it already... it's delish!).... So yeah, it'll be that, plus the roasted veggies, plus baby kale, plus the tiny bit of fresh tomato I have.... I'm anxious for it.

Well, my father got some fresh broccoli for himself, forgot to put it away while he napped... I put it in the fridge & took out his previous two broccoli crowns to see what shape they were in. They smelled great (meaning they smelled like nothing), so I snipped everything into florets, soaked 'em, drained 'em, dried 'em in the salad spinner....

Also grabbed the block of brown rice out of the freezer... if memory serves, it was a bit under-cooked, so it shouldn't get mushy while I thaw it enough to be "workable"....

So, I'm using up leftovers & extra produce, gonna make a version of this: Easy Cheesy Broccoli and Brown Rice Bake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]


ETA: It's getting late. Looks like I won't have time to bake it before I leave, but I can get everything ready to go in the casserole dish, so I can pop it in the oven whenever.

Didn't have enough soy milk, so I added some veggie broth... also stirred in my remaining cauliflower-cheese sauce... also adding chopped onion... might sprinkle some Daiya on top....

I'm making a huge salad with some Oumph (soya protein) for lunch today. It's the first time I'm trying it. I bought the normal ones and the kebab spiced ones.

Gigante Beans

I've had them a few times before when I was in Greece. They are usually served in a tomato based sauce.

You have mentioned these beans, and i must say that i also consider them very delicious. We used to grow them in our garden when i was a kid. I ate them raw. They have a very tender greeny skin, and they are so tenacious of life that can grow even in our poor clay soil. And yes, they are pretty big.

We call them butter beans and they often served mashed with olive oil s&p instead of mashed potatoes. They are indeed very creamy.

Thanks. I'll try this recipe for sure. I wonder, if they ever make hummus of it...

You can purée any pulse/legumes and add vegetables, oil, spices etc.

The beans I had seemed much larger than butter beans?

That is a good idea with mashing them up like that. I will try that.

Butter beans! Now I know what everyone's talking about.... LOL I kept thinking, "Gigante beans??"

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Using up more leftover crap again (baby kale, baby spinach, cilantro, even found some chopped almonds), so I made a deliciously funky pesto!

 

[Moll Flanders]

I thought the Oumph was very nice! I just bought two bags of stir fry veggies from the shop so I will be having Oumph stir fries for the next few days along with some coconut rice.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Rolled up this falafel wrap & I'm ready to chow down....



Flatout multigrain flatbread spread with my kale-antro/almond pesto, some baby spinach, three pieces of a Chao slice, two Zitoon falafels (four halves), some of their sliced tomatoes & zesty pickles, a few of my grape tomatoes (halved), & a drizzle of Zitoon's tahini sauce (vegan).... Can't wait!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Well, I'm gonna make a version of that, up there ^^^ on a flour tortilla because I'm out of flatbread wraps. I forgot to thaw the tortillas!! F*ck... been distracted.... Shouldn't take long, though....

Gonna use hummus instead of pesto & also reheat leftover kale puffs along with the two falafels....
