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

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
This was pretty good especially since I’m not that fond of the sweet and sour of the syrup and vinegar in it.
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.
Zoodles Pad Thai
Notes: I just made this up as I went. Serves 2. The vegetables vary depending on what I have.
Ingredients:
3 zucchini sprialized
2 celery stalk
3 carrots chopped
2 handfuls diced mushrooms
4 green onions chopped
2 Tbsp tamari or soy
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp Sriracha or other chili sauce
Few sprigs of cilantro chopped
Directions:
Mix peanut butter, tamari, syrup, Sriracha and lemon juice in a small bowl to make sauce.
Saute the mushrooms, celery and carrots.
Add in the zucchini, onions and sauce.
Toss and heat through.
Serve topped with cilantro or mix the cilantro in.
Veggie Sandwich
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.
Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts With Tempeh Bacon
I don’t really have a recipe. I cut the tempeh in to thin strips and marinade for a bit in tamari and a dash of liquid smoke.
Cook the tempeh at 400 for about 12 minutes on each side.
Clean and cut the Brussels sprouts in half and toss with coconut oil and maple syrup.
Roast the Brussels sprouts at 375 for about 12 minutes on each side.
Mix the sprouts and tempeh together and serve.
Alfredo Zucchini Pasta
Zoodles with an Alfredo sauce made from cauliflower. We both thought this was really good. I topped it with sauteed mushrooms and crushed red pepper flakes.
Recipe here.
Vegan Zombie
We enjoy watching the Vegan Zombie on Youtube and recently purchased the Vegan Zombie cook book. So far I’ve made 3 of the recipes and they were all pretty good.
Lasagna rolls. Before going in the oven here.
A vegan omelette with a side of hash-browns. I need to perfect the cooking of it. I stuffed it with red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno and Daiya cheddar shreds. The batter contains chopped baby spinach.
Something Brushetta-like. It was based off a recipe in the book. Bread topped with a roasted garlic paste, tomato, red onion, basil and topped with Daiya mozzarella shreds.
Vegan Potato Soup
Nova made this for dinner last Vegan Potato Soup for dinner. It’s topped with shredded Daiya cheddar cheese and home-made fake bacon bits made from coconut.
We both thought it was just ok. May try another recipe or tweak this one.
