Only problem is if the menu is not of high quality: not
enough variety; too many trips to the grocery; recipes that are too involved;
too bland; too boring….. you name it.
My problem last week was that two of my main dished were,
well….. how to put this….. not very tasty.
I call this the big yellow blob meal. |
The red lentil dahl was very thick and weird somehow. I
served it with brown rice, yellow and green beans from my garden (stashed away
in the freezer) and roasted onions, which all ended up in a yellowish reddish
blobby pile on our plates. Not overly proud of this meal. And a lesson learned,
even for a weeknight meal: it is important to have a balance of textures and
colors on the plate.
Looks good, I know....but it's NOT. |
The broccoli rice casserole was also very strange: too much
nutritional yeast in the ‘no-cheese’
sauce. We could barely eat it and that’s
rare for us. I admit that I threw away all the leftovers the next day. Too
stinky. Too strong. Too vegan. Thank goodness for the awesome and most
delicious Gardein Chicken Nuggets! (LOVE those things!) A huge side of sautéed mushrooms is always a
good thing as well.
I never got around to making the cauliflower steaks: those
have bumped up to this week’s menu. And I highly, highly recommend the LotsaVeg Soup which was the star of last week’s menu.
Another MAJOR distraction for me this past week: I entered
the 21st Century.
