Morning and happy Tuesday!
Thank you to each and every one of you for participating in another fun Monday with us! Jojo and I had a great time cooking for you yesterday.
Here's what I've got on my mind after yesterday:
Butter my Pumpkin: Pretty straightforward, but this soup was a winner for me this week. As always, if you haven't tried starting your day with soup make today the day!
Not a Cobb Salad: This salad has a lot going on so we decided to create a lighter dressing for you so it didn't overtake the flavors and textures of the salad. I may have mentioned how much I love some crunch in my meals, so this one really appeals to my senses. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Patty's a Sweet Hot Chick: Ha! My names are getting more and more ridiculous each menu. These veggie burgers are high on the list for repeat requests. Usually, I make this with black beans but wanted to change it up a bit. Also, I par-cooked it. So I would suggest reheating at a higher heat to get a little crisp going, and maybe even put it under the broiler for a few seconds! Then the sky is the limit for what you can add if you eat this as a sandwich - pickled veggies, sautéed onions and mushrooms, definitely some avo if you have, etc. I love what goes on top, if you know what I'm sayin ;-). But should you just want to eat this as is - heat up the burger and mix it (optional to eat the lentil salad cold or hot - either way is a win!) on top of the lentil salad and pour that yogurt sauce on for dressing. You will be FULL after this one!
Let's Caul It a Taco Bowl: This one is bursting with flavors and textures. I tried to keep the rice on the blander side so you could taste the flavors of the cauliflower, salsa, and queso. The queso is completely vegan, and in my opinion so flipping' good! Would love to hear your opinions. Take this one to work and eat it cold or hot OR make it into a taco meal for two! Could even toss all this over some tortilla chips for a healthy take on nachos. Yum!
Everyone Likes a Dry Noodle: Ha! This one was fun. The dry noodle was definitely questionable, and a total experiment, I must admit. But the final product is not only beautiful in color, but it also tastes pretty damn good! What do you think?
Looking forward to another menu going out today! Keep an eye out for it.
