Day 55: Wednesday Dec 12 ~ Soft Tacos ~

~Soft Tacos~
 I made soft tacos today.  Liv has a thing about meat loaf. Be it "real" meat loaf ( you know, made out of ground up animal remains) or vegetarian meat loaf, it doesn't matter. She will eat one slice of it and then retire from the loaf. So with this tendancy in mind, I repurposed the remaining 2/3 of the meat loaf she'd made a few days ago. Here's a reminder of it:

I put the load in a skillet and mushed it up. I added a generous dose of taco seasoning. I cooked that until it started to seem very dry, and I stirred in some sliced tomato hunks and a hefty splash of taco sauce.

 We're without taco shells, so I used tortillas. I scooped my taco mixture into the tortillas with more tomato chunks and some shredded lettuce to end up with:

And there it is. Vegan soft taco, just as spicy and filling as if it were stuffed with the ground remains of some animal.

I will admit, I missed having sour cream but I can live just fine without the cheese. You know the government is trying to get you addicted to cheese, right? I ain't falling for their nonsense.

Day 15: Friday Nov 2 ~ PSPizza w/Red Pepper & Broccoli

~ Plant-Strong Pizza w/Red Pepper & Broccoli ~

Jesse's working late tonight, so it's quick dinner time. Pita Pizza can be super fast (especially if pre-prepped!). Pita, leftover Sweet Potato 'sauce' (see below), Broccoli, Red Pepper, dash of Crushed Red Pepper, Italian Seasoning, and Nutritional Yeast.
 We decided to make a second one Mexican-style. We added salsa, kale, black beans (frejoles negros) , corn and taco seasoning.
Oven 350, 15 minutes or until warmed through. Yum! :)

Two to eat, two to freeze for a night when we're too lazy to cook.

From the book "Heart Healthy Pizza" by Mark Sutton. http://www.hearthealthypizza.com/

Original Version:
Using the following recipe from this link for the sauce:

SWEET POTATO, OATS, CARROT, AND GREEN CHILI SAUCE

Jesse altered:
But I made the sauce as such:
1 sweet tater, 4 sizeable carrots, Dijon mustard, oats, and delicious, delicious corn starch. while blending it up, I think I added too much water. To get it back to a more solid consistency, I added a can of garbanzos (Chick Peas in the common tongue). The addition of garbanzo made it very hummus-ey, but either way it's quite tasty.
