Polenta with 2 Sauces

This is one of our favorite ways to have polenta. I won't get into the whole way we make it. We have made this since starting the blog so you can go back to January 8, 2012 for our previous entry on this dinner. It is always a favorite around here though. :) Bon apetit!

April 28, 2012- Lentil Shepherd's Pie- Vegan

Lentil Shepherd's Pie- Vegan

Tonight we had lentil shepherd's pie for dinner. This is a dinner in the crock pot. The base is made up of onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and lentils with some herbs and salt and pepper. The topping is a mixture of russet and sweet potatoes. We were in such a rush to finish Battlestar Galactica last night that we forgot to take a picture (nerds). Oh well. It was still yummy. It is also a vegan dish. You can top it off with cheddar cheese but we left it off.

Black Bean Veggie Burgers with Mac and Cheese

Tonight we had a dinner that was inspired by a dinner my mom (little b) used to make growing up. She would make a cheeseburger (without the bun) and we would have some mac and cheese on the side. So we decided to make black bean veggie burgers and have mac and cheese with it. It was yummy and nostalgic :)

Sweet Potato Glow Spirals- Vegan

This is a new meal we tried tonight. It is a really simple meal to make and is something Nick could take to class. You have to make a sweet potato spread to put on lavash bread with some shredded carrots and sliced roasted red pepper. The sweet potato spread consists of baking some sweet potatoes, mashing them and combining it with some garlic hummus, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, salt an pepper, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. This would be a good appetizer for a party. It is also vegan.

Tonight we had one of our favorite meals for dinner. We make veggie kabobs which has marinated tofu in teriyaki sauce, mushrooms and zucchini. We bake them in the oven.

April 23, 2012- Mushroom and Cheese Pizza

Mushroom and Cheese Pizza

Tonight we made a homemade mushroom and cheese pizza. We have made this before and posted about it. I don't remember which day though. Instead of using the wheat crust that we usually buy from trader joes we got the garlic and herb crust and it was really yummy. I had class at 6 so it needed to be a quick dinner before I left and it was. We always enjoy eating this.
