Tofu Chow Fun
We both thought this was pretty good. I couldn’t find wide rice noodles (not even at the Asian market) so I used these broken up rice sheets labeled as “rice sticks”. If I make again I’d probably just roast the tofu instead of pan fry.

Red Robin recently replaced the Boca and Garden brand burgers they offered with a veggie burger of their own. Made with quinoa and ancient grains. We both thought it was good.
New since the last time we visited BJ’s Brewhouse are these barbacoa cauliflower tacos. We ordered them sans dairy. Really good. So is their Octoberfest.
We both thought this was good. Based on the recipe here.

I burnt it but it was still good.
Lunch at my parents was BLTs. I had 2 sandwiches each using a different brand of faux bacon. Lightlife and Sweet Earth brands. Both were pretty good. Don’t know that I preferred one over the other.
I tossed hearts of palm in a little oil along with crushed seaweed (snacks), cumin, garlic and onion powders. I then heated/browned them in the skillet.
Served on a flour tortilla and topped with a Vegenaise and Valentina sauce mix and chopped lettuce and onion.
Baked tortilla chips and potato/carrot queso on the side.
Butterflies, a caterpillar and a dragonfly in the garden today.
Made this in the Instant Pot. It was pretty good. I’m not a big fan of soup or sweet potato. I baked flour tortillas to go along with it.
