I love receiving free veggies from friends and family. Even turnips. Last night I made turnip and chickpea curry using this recipe replacing the potatoes with turnips. Was pretty good.

Instant yakisoba Noodles in pumpkin sauce with baby spinach and sautéed mushrooms. Topped with red pepper flakes.
I sauteed the mushrooms and once done I put in a couple dollops of pumpkin and a few splashes of almond milk and stirred till creamy. Then added the cooked noodles and greens and tossed around.

Refried Bean Enchiladas
Ingredients:
Corn tortillas
Refried beans
Enchilada sauce
Black olives
Baby spinach
Directions:
Brush sauce on the tortillas.
Place beans, spinach and olives on tortillas.
Roll them up.
Place enchiladas in a baking dish.
Pour sauce over enchiladas.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or so.
I generally mix in spices with the refried beans. Onion, garlic, cumin and chile powders.
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
Chickpea salad sandwich with romaine on home-made bread.
For the chickpea salad I cooked the chickpeas in a pan along with some liquid smoke, coffee, black pepper and garlic powder. I smashed them a bit while cooking and once all liquid was absorbed/dissolved I mixed with Veganaise, dill relish and minced onion.
Note: I also make this without cooking the chickpeas.
Spicy Cauliflower Tacos
I chop/break apart the cauliflower into pretty small pieces then toss them in a mix of a Mexican hot sauce (like Valentina) till the small florets are coated. Roast them in 400 oven till well done (nearly burnt) 30+ minutes.
Top the tacos with a slaw made of red cabbage, mayo (I use Veganaise) and whatever spices. I included cumin, onion powder and chile powder). I also added chopped green onion.
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Supper tonight spaghetti squash from a friends garden.
I halved the squash, removed the seeds and baked face down at 400 for 30 minutes.
Once cooked I scraped out the innards and mixed with cooked Gimme Lean, shredded Brussels sprouts, onion and garlic powders and black pepper.
Then put the mixture in to the squash halves, topped with Daiya mozzarella and baked for an additional 15 minutes.
Seeds removed and a little oil and pepper before going in the oven.
Stuffing added and before going back in to the oven.
