The realisation that rocket can be used as a herb has changed my life. I'm forever buying it and never used it as a herb until I saw it in a recipe today. So nom.

Just cooked pasta, with a garlicy-lemony-rockety sauce. And bits of smoked tofu. So unbelievably good.

Also, cooked a week's worth of chickpeas to add into everything. Chickpea salad with pretty much the same sauce for lunch tomorrow. Nom nom nom.

Recipe?

I made this Tuscan Bean soup last night, with two days worth of leftovers for lunch. Twas delish, even though I've always been wary of leeks.

I made burritos tonight. OHMYGODSOGOOD.

Onion, garlic, bits of potato, sweetcorn, chickpeas, yellow pepper, a tin of tomato and a RAKE of herbs and spices left cooking for close to an hour.

I then made guacamole (One of my favourite things to make! So easy too! Really ripe avocado, onion, garlic, lemon/lime juice, tabasco and salt/pepper whizzed up together. I hate bought stuff, but would die for this. NOM.)

Along with some bits of cucumber, chucked into a wrap. So messy. SO GOOD.

And I have enough of everything left over to have at least 2 more dinners worth. Oh NOM.

It's a mixture of this recipe and another one I found... somewhere...

It's simple enough really. Onion and LOTS of garlic, plus lots of herbs (the rocket working particularly well) and anything else you have to chuck in. Delish. Although I used a little less oil than they recommended.

Tonight it's going to be some baked spuds with baked beans - the difference being (excuse pun) that these are homemade baked beans - haricot beans, onion, garlic, allspice, molasses, mustard, tomato passata, bay leaves and for a bit of spice chilies. Should be ready in about an hour

Miso noodles with broccoli, kale, courgette, adzuki beans and sunflower seeds. I based it on this recipe.

Miso is fun, I like it a lot, first time cooking with it properly.

Broke my arm during the week, so have been mastering the art of one handed cooking....
ie, tins of soups and takeaways.

Came home for the weekend and my mother's been spoiling me! She's a trained chef, but always refuses to cook my silly dairy-free veggie dinners, so this is now an ultimate treat. Om nom nom. Last night, she made focaccia from scratch, and various salads with rices, cous cous, beans and so on. Also weird bean pie things and lots of leafy salad. I almost died.

She's making me a quinoa, cashew nut and cranberry nut roast for tonight. And she bought Kale, so that'll pop up somewhere. Haven't been this excited about dinner in a long time! Don't want to go back to Dublin this week after all...!

First time posting here. I'm easing my way in to vegetarianism and am two weeks in, and loving it. So here is what I made for dinner.. vegetable spaghetti. it was absolutely amazing!!

For breakfast this morning....

That's me for today

How have I only realised how deliciously simple cous-cous is to make NOW?

Unreal. Bit'a soy sauce and paprika, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas and stir fried veg mixed through it, and I had a gastronomic delight for dinner earlier, with enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Great times. Cous cous is the way forward, for sure.

It should be the easiest thing to make ever but I'm so bad at it :(

Tar.Aldarion

Mmm couscous, so easy to make, and some people revere you when they learn you are good at it

But it's essentially... pot noodle? Just add boiling water and BOOM! Dinner!

I love cous-cous with roast veg and feta. Or even just roast veg without the cheese. Not a veggie but would eat this until it came out my ears. Nom nom nom

Shouldn't have opened this thread. Lunch is so far away

Also, cous-cous is mank!

Had Burger King for dinner tonight. First time getting a BK since I went veggie (6 years ago, at least...?)... Unreal.

The bean burger. Actually proper unreal. With chips. And Fanta. Like, christ-so-good. Wish I hadn't done it because now I know I'm going to want to go back again some time. Like, maybe later on, seeing as it's open all night.

I recently become a fan of mushed up avocados.

For lunch I slap a load of cream cheese on a bread roll, mush/spread the avocado on top, sprinkle some finely chopped garlic, possibly some salt and whatever herbs are lying around and drizzle with olive oil (I am in Spain after all).

I usually have half left over so for dinner I mush it up, mix it with a spoonful of pesto and put in on pasta. It's so good and so quick, it's my go-to lazy dinner.
I also had an avocado and strawberry smoothie the other day, which I plan to recreate 'cause it was amazing.

Made soup!

Soaked soya pieces, chickpeas and lentils over night. Then left them on heat for a few hours and blended. Added steamed parsnips, garlic and carrots. Then added tomatoes, mixture of goji berries, flaxseed etc and basil, pepper, salt, vegetable stock. yum!

Although i have enough for weeks ;p

Made nice baked lentil burger yokes there!
Cooked up some red lentils and got as much of the water boiled off as possible without burning
Mixed in: , finely chopped onion, two frozen waffles cut up in small pieces (making these before I grated in a potato but got caught short today), half a spoon of cumin, three cloves of chopped garlic, spoon of curry powder and some creamed coconut. Other things I've used are flour, ground almonds and vegemite. Forms a fairly thick and dryish paste.
Then I patted that into three burger shaped things and put them in the oven for about 25 minutes. Nice little patties, I served them with salad but I think they'd be nice as actual burgers as well, though they can fall apart a little bit. Anyways they're delicious.

Damn nacho cravings! I've had to cut down on the nacho bit and try to make it a bit healthier.

Last night we had leafy salad, raw carrot and broccoli, red and green peppers, a handful of nachos and loads of homemade salsa, guacamole and cheese dip. A few spoons of chilli quorn for me too. Washed down by half a tub of icecream

I'm in a cooking mood this evening. (my poor husband!)
