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!!!!
Feb 15, 2010 – Quinoa and Carrot Stir Fry
This was kinda a spur of the moment dinner. I had just a few ingredients, since we had not gone to the store for the week.
I had some green pepper, carrots, quinoa, rice avocado, mushrooms, onions and sweet potato. None of which amounted to much all by themselves, but together, they made a great meal.
First I julleine cut the sweet potato, and the carrot and green pepper and started to cook the rice and quinoa.
I stir fried the onion in some olive oil and for 3 minutes or so. I added the sweet potato, and green pepper and some stir fry sauce, about 1 tbsp.
As it cooked, I added the mushrooms and carrots, and right at the last 3 minutes I added the avocado in small dollops.
I plated the rice and quinoa and just put the stir fry right on the plate, I was pretty hungry so I am happy that I at least got a few pictures of this one.
