Belated Thanksgiving post

Wonderful Thanksgiving spent with my mom, Paul and Mary. Green bean casserole, combination of mashed cauliflower and potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes, shallots and kale with Tofurkey sausage. Pecan pie and pumpkin pie too. Went by too quickly!

Yellow Lentils with Spinach and Ginger

Am not going to move again anytime again in the foreseeable future!
This is our first meal in our new house (real meal, that is) - delicious and easy.

Mexican Style Bean and Rice Casserole

From this recipe: http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes-from-chef-del-author-of-new-fok-recipe-book/ - easy and delicious! Paul had a fun suggestion to spiralize the zucchini next time instead of the dice.

Non-Vegan Lunch

Tempeh Chili Mac with Garlicky Spinach

I am loving Lindsay Nixon's Everyday Happy Herbivore - great cookbook! Dove in and made these two recipes - wonderful!

Eggplant Rollatini

Taking a break from "easy" summer meals, made this eggplant rollatini last night. Quite delicious. This recipe is from a Veg News posting from the new Forks Over Knives cookbook (fighting the urge to order, likely will lose this battle). Lots of leftover millet stuffing, need to find creative use - maybe a stew?

Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

Paul asked for chicken noodle soup. I hadn't made this before, much less a vegan version, but took the challenge. Found this recipe and it was perfect. I only had 5 cups of broth, it really needed the full 6. Delicious!

Curried Chickpeas and Kale

From this recipe at www.fatfreevegan.com - followed exactly and then added some browned "Gimme Lean sausage". Served over rice. Definite keeper!

Tomato Lentil Soup with Cumin and Fresh Dill

From this recipe : http://plantpoweredkitchen.com/vegan-soup-for-the-soul/

Easy, nutritious and delish! (I did add some sriracha)
