This casserole is a mix of quinoa, veggies and a cashew cream sauce. We both thought it was pretty good.

Peanut Butter And Chocolate Chip Donuts
Nova made these vegan Peanut Butter And Chocolate Chip Donuts from a recipe in a book we recently purchased DIY Nut Milks, Nut Butters, and More: From Almonds to Walnuts. They were very good and Grand-kid approved.
Baked Blueberry-Frosting Donuts
Nova made us these blueberry-frosted vanilla donuts. Yesterday with the Grand-daughter here she used oat flour and today made them for us with ww flour. She also replaced the margarine with coconut oil.

Black Bean & Quinoa Loaf
Black Bean & Quinoa Loaf for supper tonight. Couldn’t get it to firm up. Realized later that I misread the amount of oats. Was pretty good otherwise.
Recipe here.
The following day I had it as a sandwich.
Quinoa & Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze

Butternut Squash
My Mother had given us half of a butternut squash she had. This was our first time having it. I cubed and roasted it at 400 for 30 minutes and served it with some sauteed mushrooms over a mix of brown and wild rice. Home-made whole wheat bread and a salad on the side. It was really good.

For supper on this New Year’s Eve I made a simple veggie sandwich. Sauteed red bell pepper, artichoke hearts and mushrooms atop toasted multi-grain bread with a hummus spread. Next time I think I’ll include onions.
