March 31, 2010 – Vegan Sausage with onions and peppers
The inspiration came from a quick shopping trip to whole foods. I was looking for a simple dinner since I knew I would be hungry when I got home and did not have too much to choose from.
I found some vegan sausage and the light bulb turned on!
What else would compliment vegan sausage, but sauerkraut!
I grabbed a yellow onion, red bell pepper, yam and an avocado .
I sauteed the diced onions for about 5 minutes, then threw in the diced red pepper, yam and avocado for the last 5 minutes.
Around that time I also warmed up the sausage and the sauerkraut in a skillet.
I wanted some veggies, so I grabbed about 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies and an apple.
Perfect, perfect perfect!
Jan 15, 2010 – Chili and rice
After being too lazy to make my own chili the other day, I decided I would make some.
1/2 cup water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 small bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
2 15-ounce can black beans, undrained
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Heat the water in a large skillet or pot. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, beans and their liquid, chilies, and cumin. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until flavors are blended.
To make it a bit more filling, I added 1 cup of brown rice.
To finish off the meal, I had some frozen vegetables.
After a while, I wanted a dessert. Here is what I came up with.
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices
Lay apple in a pie tin and coat with cinnamon and sugar
If you like, you can add some brown sugar and / honey
Bake in an oven for 30 minutes at 350F
