What's for dinner, vegan version

[oldtime dfl_er]

Mashed potatoes, veggie burgers, mushroom gravy, leftover green beans.

(I thought I'd start this thread because sometimes, as a vegan, I have trouble deciding what to make for dinner, and would love to see others' dinner plans!)

1. Vegetarian here.

Tonight: roasted veggies ( Brussels, new potatoes, beets, grape tomatoes,) with plant based sausage …all marinated in olive oil and balsamic) over Quinoa. Salt and pepper to taste.

3. sounds delish!

I gotta get some beets.

2. Excellent idea!

Just snacking this evening...small serving of mixed nuts, v8 juice, and a dark chocolate nugget with coffee.

4. sounds great

I do that sometimes too, just a snack...but coffee after 6 is a no no for me!

7. Nuts, V8 and chocolate make regular appearances on my menus too! ☺️

5. Mostly vegetarian but not completely there yet.

Tonight I ate raw potatoes leftover from breakfast home fries. Two English muffins with butter and peanut butter. Leftover gnocchi with vodka sauce. And of course, my standard Cosmopolitan ☺️

Yesterday and today we have been mostly stuck inside due to ice and freezing rain. So just cleaning out the fridge!

9. Leftovers can be awesome

Sorry about the weather, though!

6. Finally out of bed at 3:30...

Had raisin bran w/almond milk after I fed the kiddies (4 parrots, 2 cats), and I’m afraid I’ll just be zipping open a bag of TJ’s Japanese rice/veg with a spicy Szechuan sauce as a lazy dinner.

I think I blew my wad for Xmas dinner (made a vegan ham despite my throbbing hand infection, still swollen) and am a bit dismayed to find Monday is already looming. *sigh*

Laughing at your looking for inspiration. That’s what I usually do!

10. wow!

4 parrots? Do they get along with the cats?

And yea, I'm always looking for inspiration. My default is vegan fried rice probably similar to you.

8. Vegan here.

Tonight I had bean salad, kimchi, sauerkraut, pumpkin seeds, dried apricots and dried pineapple.

11. Sounds good!

I'm trying to incorporate more fermented foods in my diet, but I don't like kimchi and am iffy on sauerkraut.

12. Stromboli.

Start with an Ultimate Gardein chicken fillet, cook it halfway, flip it and cover with sauce (I make, but most any jar will do) and then some more sauce, some cut up Field Roast sausage, and the faux cheeze of your choosing (that melts). Finish cooking. On the oven, heat up a tortilla (because it's just easier) in a pan. Take out the fillet/sauce/sausage/cheese ensemble, cut into thin strips, place onto hot tortilla. Roll/fold into a manageable size, cut in half, eat.

13. YUM

Marinara? I make my own and always have a couple of jars in the fridge, so this sounds like something I could make pretty easily. Thanks!

14. Oh, you know it!

One of my silly, somewhat private joys is making a really good marinara from (almost) scratch. If my fingers aren't soaked in sauce and cheeze by the end of it, I've done it wrong.
