*Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week!*
One of my friends recommended that I do a Question and Answer about my weekly food posts. Sounds like a great idea to me! If you have any questions, just leave a comment here, or on my FB page, or send me an email. I will try to answer all questions next week!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Wednesday: Pumpkin Pancakes
I thought it would be fun to have a fall themed breakfast for dinner night. But I am really not much of a sweets person and this dinner was actually way to sweet for me. And weirdly, the kids weren’t that into it either. But I think Ben liked it!
Thursday: Cheese Pizza and Greek Salad
I made a cheese pizza using pizza dough, pizza sauce, and shredded cheese, all from Trader Joes. Super easy, but I do recommend allowing lots of time to stretch out the pizza dough because I always rip it when I’m in a hurry. And I made my sister’s greek salad which was sooo yummy: 1/2 english cucumber, grape tomatoes halved, 1/2 block of feta cubed, 1 bell pepper chopped, greek olives, red onion thinly sliced, olive oil, white vinegar, dried oregano, and salt.
Friday: Pimento Grilled Cheese and Creamy Tomato Soup
This meal was SO good! I was even kind of sad to go out to eat the next day because I really wanted to eat the leftovers. SOOOO good! This is my favorite grilled cheese but I have never made this soup before. Yum!
Saturday: Date Night
Ben and I had a delicious dinner at Cuba Libre. We shared a bunch of small plates which is always fun!
Sunday: Mushroom Bourguignon
This was a great Sunday dinner. Super yummy and definitely easier to make than beef bourguignon. Try it! You won’t even miss the meat.
Monday: Indian Take-Out
I am kind of obsessed with Indian food lately! And I realized we were out of broth at the last minute (kind of a necessity for soup), so Ben and his parents picked up some Indian food on the way home from the airport.
Tuesday: Amazing Lentils and Kale Soup with Cornbread
One of the best things about doing these WWAW posts is all the recipes my friends have been sending me. I love trying something new, and this recipe from my friend Angie was so good! It was also really healthy and easy–great plusses. Angie recommended serving it with cornbread which was perfect. i just used the Trader Joe’s mix–yummy.
Oh! Glad you reminded me. Here are my questions:
1. You cook a lot! Do you ever have leftovers? What do you do with them?
2. Do you LIKE cooking? Is it a hobby? Or is it just a way to get dinner on the table?
3. How long have you been a vegetarian? What are the reasons for it (religious? animal cruelty? just don’t like meat a ton?)?
I thought I had more, so I will keep thinking….:)
