Sunday; Its been 5 days

Time does fly! Wednesday I worked and took a stuffed bell pepper for lunch. In case it wasn't enough, I tossed an avocado into my bag. Didn't need it. The bell was plenty. I kind of made the recipe up of leftovers.

I cut the bell peppers lengthwise, mostly because they were different sizes and I thought they would cook more uniformly that way. It was pretty at the end and were much easier to stuff and to keep from falling over.

From the freezer I pulled some frozen brown rice. I had some lentils in the fridge, sauteed onions, mushrooms, pieces of bell pepper, and garlic. I added the rice, lentils, and tossed with marinara sauce. The sauce had lots of flavor, including a touch of cayenne pepper. Sometimes when I put up marinara sauce, I add red wine or fennel, which flavors some of the Italian sausage. Oh yes...back to my original discovery, I added salt and pepper to taste.

I baked them for about 1/2 hour. Tasty!

Wednesday I believe we had leftovers. There are always plenty of those in the vegan household. Beans. Rice. Quinoa. At any rate, but Thursday we had cleaned up the leftovers and I was ready for an easy meal. I was ready for a little meat, albeit chicken. :-/ I made walnut covered chicken breasts, quinoa and asparagus. Oddly, between us we barely ate one half breast. Good job!

Friday was a rough day. Tax day and some unpleasantries between us. I tried not to allow that to throw me off my game, so I made red beans and rice for dinner. Needless to say, we had the same dinner Saturday.  For lunch Phil made tuna and had a tuna sandwich. Not me. I thought we really needed something sweet, but since we had no milk in the house, I found a really good vegan recipe for Healthy Flourless Pumpkin Blondies. They were actually tasty and the recipe is on recipe blog.

For lunch today I believe we just ate leftovers and snacked. After we came home from Mom's, I realized we needed a good dinner so made a Broccoli-Mushroom quiche. I know. It is not vegan, but it filled us both up, satisfied our need for the fat, and was delicious.
