Strawberry Cream Biscuits – Smitten Kitchen

Pumpkin streusel muffins – The Novice Chef

Lunch

Easy peanut noodles (A Couple Cooks) / Spicy peanut noodles (A Beautiful Mess) — 4/23 kind of blended these recipes

Snacks

No Bake Oatmeal Bars

No bake oatmeal chocolate bars (Sugar Apron)

• 1/23 – made with Jif – didn’t do a swirl of chocolate on top which might have been nice – maybe needs a little something?

Watch the sugar mix, it goes from nothing to bubbling fast

Lemon Blueberry Bread

Lemon blueberry bread – Nora Cooks Vegan

Made with dairy, not vegan

Don’t forget to rub the zest into the sugar

Dredging the blueberries does help with sinking

 

Dinner

Soups

Tomato tortellini soup – The Kitchn

Two 8-oz packs of tortellini

Could try one pack plus another pasta, or serving with grilled cheese

Mains

Fish + fake meat

Toasted sesame ginger salmon (How Sweet Eats)

• 1/23 – halved the marinade for two salmon fillets — could make a half batch of the honey glaze

Spicy sloppy joes – Simply Scratch

• 12/22 – Made half recipe with 12oz Impossible Burger – took 45 minutes to an hour

Beans

Vegan Lentil Sloppy Joes (A Couple Cooks)

• 1/23 – made half recipe with brown lentils, made 5 servings — added a dash of mustard to balance the sweet ketchup flavor — cooked lentils in water with no salt
• 4/23 – same as above, though more than a dash of mustard — also added a jalapeno and could have done more — made pickled onions but tbh I don’t think they’re needed — serve on buns with cheese for sure, mellows out the intensity

Pizza beans — Smitten Kitchen

Tangy braised chickpeas — Smitten Kitchen

• 4/23 — made 1.5x batch (didn’t multiply sherry vinegar tho), served with egg noodles — try serving with roasted potatoes instead for texture — took ~45 minutes for two of us to prep and get in the oven

Quick pasta and chickpeas (Smitten Kitchen)

Spanish chickpea rice pilaf (Budget Bytes)

• 5/23 – used a jar of marinated artichoke hearts, served with eggplant and castelvetrano olives 🫒
