Money in My Pocket Veggie Menu Monday

I’m a busy bee this week, and not eating at home so much. However when I have my classes I’m packing lunch and dinner to take to work. I really like the leftover money from my check last week!
I’m still keeping with my breakfast/lunch theme of soup, muffin, and cookie. It actually made it fun [...]

Tail Between My Legs Veggie Menu Monday

Sorry for disappearing. Let’s just say too much money was spent and there was an eating out frenzy that’s made my budget look like the dog chewed it.
So here I go with the basics – menu planning. Over and over again it proves itself to be invaluable!
Fall is the perfect time to pull out the [...]

Vegan Chickenless and Rice Soup

I’ve over extended myself this week, so we’ve been eating out a lot. So to make up for it, I have been eating soup for lunch everyday. So here’s another soup recipe.
This can be made in the slow cooker, but I did it stove top and it took less than 1 hour from start to [...]

Vegan Slow Cooker Picky Eater’s Soup

You know the drill, and I’m sure you’ve all heard the protests of “what’s that in my food?!” Picky little ones often grow up to be picky adults. And while I’m kid-less, I still hear about texture issues and fight the good veggie fight all the time. This one worked really good, she even asked [...]

BBQ Tofu Veggie Pizza

I’m not much of a super bowl person. In fact I can’t think of any sports that I want to sit down and watch. Don’t be mad though, I’m fine with the rest of the world hanging at super bowl parties while I’m shopping, or dining in peace and quiet.
I’ve recommitted myself to eating healthy [...]

Slow Cooker Cajun 16 Bean Soup

I love soup and I can be lazy. So it should come as no surprise how easy it is to make this soup. I had a bag of 16 bean mix and was craving something more texturally adventurous than split pea soup.
For a long time I avoided buying the 16 bean mix because it always [...]

Happy New Year Vegan Sausage Mushroom Ragu

I just had the nicest New Year’s Eve dinner party. 8 of our friends came over for a dinner of lentil soup, spinach salad, and Gimme Lean Sausage and mushroom ragu over baked polenta. It turned out well enough for me to pass the recipe on to you. Plus I promised a recipe this week [...]

Merry Christmas Menu Planning Monday

I was doing too little blogging last week and going to too many required holiday functions. In most cases the food was less than stellar and the company was not making me feel very merry. I’m not much on enforced work fun, it can be worse than dining with your least favorite relatives.
But starting today [...]

Vegan Acorn Squash filled with Boca Burger Bread Stuffing

I love me some winter squash! The last Acorn squash recipe I posted was cooked in the slow cooker. I did this one in the oven, but you could also cook it in the slow cooker if you prefer.
I wanted to try using Boca burger in it because I’m trying to use up some I [...]
