Country Sausage Sandwiches

These sandwiches are the product of a recipe in Alex's Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day! cookbook, a Christmas present. The "sausage" is marinated tempeh, and the sauce is red onion, vegan mayo, red pepper, and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. There are also hash browns and kale on it, and the whole thing is on an English muffin that we made from scratch. With the whole meal being kind of on the sandwich itself, we thought home made apple sauce might be the perfect side. Altogether a tasty meal!

Chili Dogs!

We skipped soup in January, but we totally made soup. We just don't have pictures to prove it. What we do have pictures of, though, are chili dogs. Made with vegan hot dogs and "chili de Alex" (Alex's own chili recipe using textured vegetable protein, aka TVP, in place of meat), these are dang tasty. This time we used store-bought buns, but our preference would have been to make our own like usual. On the left are Alex's vegan dogs, on the right the cheesy goodness of Lisa's dinner. Yum!

Pasta Salad!

Salads!

The theme of the month is salad! I know that's a pretty broad theme but interpret it any way you wish! I might try to see how many different kinds I can do!

Soup!

Totally forgot I had this!!

Toasted Orzo Leftover Soup

I changed the name of this soup slightly to accommodate the changes I made to the recipe. It should be Toasted Orzo Chicken Soup but I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving (I had frozen it, Pat was absolutely appalled because he thought it had been in the refrigerator since November...) and I didn't have zucchini so I used celery. I think it's a really good soup but the best addition is the lemon zest you add at the end, it really gives it the extra flavor it needs!

Soup!

Mom and Dad told me to post this for them  if they hadn't done it within a day or two! Theme of the month is soup!
