March 29, 2010 – Spaghetti using spaghetti squash
I created this while shopping at the local grocery store.
Now, I will admit, I have a very bad track record when doing this, so I was pleasantly surprised how well this turned out.
I had a vision of spaghetti, but was not able to make it fresh as I am doing now.
I decided on a spaghetti squash, and then I let my imagination run amok.
I wanted some additional flavors so I steamed some broccoli and asparagus for about 7 to 10 minutes
I wanted some home made sauce and here is recipe.
1 can 15oz petite diced tomatoes
1/2 medium yellow onion diced
3 green onions diced
1/2 small red pepper diced
1 – 6 inch vegan sausage diced
4 to 6 oz of firm tofu diced into 1/4 inch squares
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground pepper
Warm that up on the stove on medium low heat for 15 minutes before serving.
1 medium spaghetti squash
Cut in half, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 350.
Once it is done, let it cool down for about 15 minutes (while the sauce is cooking).
Take a fork and remove all the squash and place it on your plate as you would spaghetti and cover with your sauce.
I then added the steamed fresh broccoli and asparagus.
What a delicious meal. Total cost under 13 dollars and enough food for 2 to 4 servings.
March 25, 2010 – Sweet potato, onion, and whatever skillet
This dinner was due to a bare fridge, and limited options…..and I was tired and too lazy to go to the store to get some groceries.
I found a sweet potato, 1/2 an onion, some fresh broccoli, some vegan sausage, and boca crumbles.
After a few minutes of pondering, and hearing my stomach growl, I decided on a skillet-type of dinner.
First of all, I had to use my fancy new skillet I got for my 16th wedding anniversary, from my beautiful wife, Cheri.
I am so lucky to have her as my wife.
Anyway, back to my dinner, I used about 1/3 cup Olive Oil, and sauteed the onions and sweet potato for 5 minutes, then added all the other ingredients and topped it with some non-dairy soy mozzarella cheese.
After about 10 minutes, of prep work and 10 minutes of cooking, my stomach was no longer growling!
The picture is not awesome, but I was hungry and did not want to wait too long to eat!!!!
