Kidney Bean Burger
Veggie burger made of kidney beans, rice and shredded carrots. Flavor was ok but they didn’t hold together. I thawed and used frozen carrots I had which may be why they fell apart.
Nova rolled hers up in a flour tortilla.

Turnip And Chickpea Curry
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.
Spicy Thai Noodles

Noodles And Veggies In Pumpkin Sauce
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.
Beyond Meat, Beyond Chicken
We don’t eat fake meats very often. I believe this is the first fake chicken we’ve had. It was pretty good. Don’t know that I’ll purchase it again anytime soon though.
I used it in fajitas.

We both thought this was good. I halved the amount of sugar and will double the peanuts next time.
