Ok, this recipe looked too weird not to try, so I made it the other night... Yes. Yeeeeees. It was good!
Spread a tortilla with cranberry sauce (made with stevia, chunky kind), pistachios, vegan goat cheese, and grilled onion + broccoli. Simple, but it really has that OMG WOWZA factor!

Mushrooms and Spinach over Rice
Oi. So, please tell me WHY I work out for an hour every day and the state still mandates that I be in PE. Seriously. It's so dumb.
Anyway, I'm NO good at sports, I just like to work out. Sheesh! We started tennis yesterday, I have no clue how to play tennis (!)... so my wrists hurt like crap... my left hand is really having a hard time typing right now. Argh. Seriously. Why do I have to take the stupid subject?
Although, it does allow me to eat just a wee bit more in the evenings, which is pretty much the only good thing... more yummies for me!
Adapted from Oh She Glows
Saute chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms until tender. Toss in some spinach (washed, destemmed, and torn), fresh chopped rosemary, nooch, soy sauce, corn starch + water, and home made veggie broth powder. Add enough water to make it a gravy-type thing, simmer for a few minutes until thick, and serve over rice. Simple but A-Mazing!

Good gosh, I'm so sleepy right now.
Thus I will leave you with a yummy quesadilla and then call it a night...
Adapted from Floral Foodie
Saute 1/2 small onion, a few slices of bell pepper, and 2 cloves garlic. Add in 1/2 cup cooked kidney beans, 1/2 cup Soyrizo, 1/2 tbsp cumin, chili pepper, diced tomatoes, home made veggie broth powder, and 1/4 cup TVP. Add in enough water so the TVP is rehydrated, and let simmer for a few minutes. Spread inbetween 2 tortillas, and bake for a few minutes. Easy and yum!

Mushroom-y Burgers
Yeah, there are more than a MILLION veggie burger recipes out there.
So, really, this one is just a drop in the bucket.
So, tell me, does it look like I care? I'm gonna post this, either way! ;)
Adapted from WTHDAVEA
In a blender (I used Mister V), finely chop/blend 1/2 lb criminis, 1/2 carrot, 1 small red onion, and 1 clove garlic. Don't sweat it if there are a few big chunks. (The mixture will look pretty gross... sorry!) Pour into a frying pan, and saute for about 8 minutes to get the onions cooked. Stir together with 1/2 cup dried quinoa cooked with 3/4 cup water, ~1/4 cup nooch, ~1/2 cup flavoured bread crumbs, 1 tbsp flax meal, paprika, a bit of bbq sauce, Italian seasoning, and a splash of soy sauce. Cook for ~20 minutes on a panini press (just plop some blobs on the press and kind of shape them into burgers). Serve with buns, pickles, burger-tofu-mayo, and cheeze sauce.

Quinoa Salad
Erm. Not much to say tonight. I'm rather tired.. although the salad was pretty good and easy.
I totally meant to add tofu - had it in the micorwave and everything! Then I forgot. I had just finished my portion, and then I was like "Oh my gosh, the tofu!" But it was super good, none the less...
Adapted from HHL
Ok, so:
Quinoa + finely chopped sauteed onion, cooked in half orange juice and half water, mixed with nooch and spicy seasoning + paprika
Shredded carrots, chopped oranges, sliced avocado
Walnuts
Tofu mayo (partially cooked silken tofu blended with lemon)

Lentils, Brussels, and Onions
Using up leftovers today... You know, I had the last of my AP exams today. When I was not testing, I was literally in a stupor, staring at the wall... and thinking about this recipe. It took me all day to come up with it. Shows you how well my brain is working right now...
HEAVILY adapted from Taste Space
I combined cooked brown lentils and leftover grilled onion and brussels sprouts with a sauce of maple syrup, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and orange zest. This was all heated in a wok, then topped with pecans, and served. Make sure to use the orange zest, because that totally makes the dish awesome!

TVP Sliders
Burgers make me feel like a rebel...
Adapted from HHL
Finely chop and saute 1/3 cup onion, 1 1/2 cups button mushrooms, and 2 cloves garlic until all the liquid is gone. Chop a bit of parsley. Mash 1 1/2 cups canellini beans. Then mix all of this stuff together with 1 1/2 cups TVP, 1/2 cup nooch, 1 tbsp cider vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp smoky/spicy seasoning, 1 tbsp Spike seasoning, 1 tbsp veggie bouillon, and 1 tbsp mirin. Stir in a scant 1 cup hot water, so the TVP soakes it up. Add in whole wheat flour as needed - I used a couple tbsp. Shape into patties and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
Serve on buns with pickles, vegan cheese, and ketchup!

Single Serving Use Up Leftovers Soup
Despite the purpose of this soup... it turned out really yum. Much better than expected, which is always a NICE surprise.
Speaking of... I could use more nice surprises. Couldn't you? ;)
Veggies were carrot, garlic, onion, and broccoli. Spices were veggie chicken bullion, Spike Veg-It seasoning, Italian seasoning, and cooking sherry. Other stuff included orzo, fake meat, red kidney beans, and corn starch slurry to thicken.

Pinapple Stir Fry
Oh, gosh. NO PICTURE! I feel really bad... but my camera ran out of power before I got anything, and there weren't any leftovers. Boohoo. Oh well, most stir fries look the same, anyhoo...
Adapted from Oh She Glows
Mix together 1/3 cup pinapple juice, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tbsp agave. Cut two slabs of tofu, press, and marinade overnight in sauce. **So, Wednesday I thought I was going to make this dish, and I got the tofu marinading, but it turned out that I didn't have the energy to throw this together. So I let the tofu marinade overnight, and made the dish Thurday. Wow, flavour boost much! I think, when possible, I will let the tofu marinade overnight, as it soaks up so much more flavour.
The next day, saute onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, broccoli, and spinach. Grill tofu on a panini press. Mix corn starch with the leftover marinade, and use as the stir fry sauce. Serve over wild rice.

Orzo with a Very Flavourful Sauce
So, when I say flavourful, I mean FLAVOURFUL. This packs a punch. Not for the faint-hearted... Adapted from PPK.
Heat 3/4 cup pineapple juice, and then add in 3/4 cup TVP. Allow TVP to soak up liquid, adding more juice as needed.
In a saucepan, saute 1 small chopped red onion and ~2 cups broccoli florets. Add in 6 cloves of roasted garlic (smashed with the flat side of a knife), 1 cup white wine, anise, rosemary, 1 cup pineapple juice, veggie bouillon, 1 tbsp flour, 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, nooch, and coriander. Then add in ~2 cups torn spinach, and allow to wilt. Serve sauce over cooked orzo pasta, and top with TVP.
Soup... with LOTS of Stuffs
Soup!

Pea Risotto, Grilled Tofu, Grilled Mushrooms
It's been AGES since I've made risotto.. which is odd, because I have occasional cravings for it every once in a while... so, tonight I made this. It turned out really good, and I especially liked the tofu!
Adapted from WTHDAVEA
Press a few slabs of tofu, and then marinade in soy sauce, agave, and ketchup. Grill on a panini press with sliced crimini mushrooms.
Saute 1/2 small chopped red onion and chopped garlic. Add a generous cup of risotto rice, and 2/3 cup white wine. Once the wine is almost gone, add water and vegetable bullioun, adding more water until the rice is SUUUPER creamy, and really cannot take any more water.. about 35 minutes. Also, stir the rice as much as you can - like, every other minute, give it a few seconds of good stirring. Once the rice is saturated, add in peas, nooch, and butter extract. Serve topped with tofu and mushrooms.

Black Bean Tortilla Pizza
Yes, I left the broiler on a bit too long... but it still tasted great. Just goes to show you how good this dish is ;)
Adapted from Oh She Glows
Saute sliced red onion and red bell pepper. Mix together 3 tbsp soy milk, 2 spoonfuls nooch, garlic powder, onion powder, a smidge of dijon mustard, a smidge of flour and a drop of butter extract*. Add the nooch mixture into the veggies along with some black beans.
Spread a tortilla with tomato sauce, then add the veggies. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, chopped parsley, and FYH mozzarella. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, and then broil for a minute. Not more than 2... unless you like burnt crust...
*So, I found some butter extract at Walmart yesterday... appearently it's VEGAN (but still has lots of chemicals... you can't have everything...) . Who knew? So, instead of using Earth Balance or some high calorie thing like that, I'll use this stuff... this opens up so many possibilities.

Tofu, Mandarin, Grilled Veggie, and Mixed Lettuce Salad
All I have to say: wow. I've never had fresh arugula before (it's homegrown, actually). Wow.
Adapted from HHL.
The base was iceburg lettuce, then came arugula, torn cilantro, shredded carrots, canned mardarin oranges, grilled onion/mushrooms, and leftover tofu.
Dressing was tofu mayo (partially cooked silken tofu mixed with lemon juice) and the juice from the mandarines.
Wow.
