Here's a picture of my lunch from the other day. This post is in honor of my sis who has now managed to lose 60 pounds over the past 12 months (she's omni). She loved something called jalepeno poppers which is a fried finger food. I made a jalepeno soy mozz bread roll for her awhile back and she thought it was amazing. I had lunch with her today and this is what we ate. I'm typically not a hottie, but I can handle canned jalepeno pepper slices.I took small peices of canned jalepeno pepper peices, placed them on top of some multigrain bread and topped with frozen shredded Bryanna white chedda' cheese. (another recipe available to her newsletter subscribers). I broiled it to perfection in our toaster oven. I have three thin peices of griddle seared tofu (dipped in soysauce prior to griddling with sauteed onion and mushrooms), a side salad, and a bit of the mushroom marinara that I canned yesterday for the jalepeno bread slices. I dipped my bread into the marinara. If I had the talent to add a sound link button for you to push, you would hear something like, "MM ... mmm!".
LUNCHBOXES ...
Of course, leftover suppers always make it into lunch boxes and here is the shake and bake tofu with dijon style nayonaise and lettuce leaf, banana with kokobits, and dilled carrot sticks. I know the schmoo box ALWAYS included a fantastic assortment of a veggie.... we are vegan and I have a mindset towards healthier eating, but I would never get away with some of the veggies or the veggie salad combo's that Jennifer did (not that I wouldn't eat them, but even if they were packed for my group they would come home or be thrown away so I wouldn't know... or so they think). Melissa said the sandwich was filling and she didn't have time for the others so she finished off the carrots and bananas in the afternoon.A teaser of what is to come....
I pulled these items out my my misc drawer more than a week ago and since then they have been laying on my counter. I've only had them for two years and the original papers and packaging is still there ... ummm, maybe they are antique by now and worth some money :o) ! But I couldn't sell them, cause I need them for
Urban Vegan's T'Art Contest .
Honestly, I have been hoping for these little pans to talk to me so I would know what to do with them (Do you think I might be beginning to suffer from a little B 12 deprivation?) .... but they haven't (WHEW!), so I've been searching through a few cookbooks. You could be my competition if you hurry to get your entry in... August 31st is only a few days away. Check it out and join the fun!
