I recently set aside one night a week to try new recipes. It has been fun! I finally found a way to enjoy veggie ground mince product, and to enjoy nutritional yeast. The veggie mince, I put in a vegetable soup. It is just a can of tomatoes or tomato soup (I tried it both ways and both were good) with chopped carrot, chopped celery, barley and half a package of Yves Italian simmered in the crockpot overnight. The second time I made it, I left out rhe barley and added some minute rice to my thermos before I poured the soup in. It was nice and thick by lunchtime. With the nutritional yeast, I made some gnocchi and on a whim, threw in a tbsp of margarine and a spoonful of nutritional yeast and stirred. It tasted like macaroni and cheese! It was so good. So, those are some of my recent food successes. How about you?

recently I cooked with TVP for the first time. I made bolognaise and it came out pretty good! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:">

I've been making uppama quite a lot recently, which is a south indian spicy semolina dish. Never used semolina before...it worked, though, both times I did it!

I made quinoa for the first time and it was delicious. Now I have a new grain.

I'm enjoying being home and having a kitchen, today I made strips of baked tofu in a marinade and had them in lettuce wraps with sliced apple. Yum! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

I so need to get experimenting again. I'm stuck in a bit of a rut lately.

Same here (not that I used to cook really...)<br><br>
If it can be made in a microwave I can make it.

Good idea for a thread!<br><br><br><br>
A recent food success of mine is learning how to enjoy eating more fresh food, straight out of the refrigerator, without any plates or silverware. It feels so natural. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/rockon.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":rockon:">

I managed to make a hummus and veggie "pizza". It was a pretty simple recipe but I'm no cook at all so the fact that I didn't burn down the kitchen impressed me. It was good too.
