Supper Time
Here’s what we’ve been eating for dinner this past week…
Creamy Spinach Pasta from The McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook and a lovely summer salad with fresh corn and carrots.
Field Roast vegan sausage, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes (made with soymilk and seasonings), and a wee little bowl of mixed beans and corn.
Spiral Diner to-go for fun in the middle of the week. Eric went on a long run, and I surprised him by picking up two wraps that we shared for dinner. The one on the left was the “Ate Layer Burrito”, and the one on the right was “Sweet Luv’Us Hummus”. These were both wraps that we had never tried before, and they both get thumbs up. The burrito was the best though! It had a chipotle mayo on it that was delish. I definitely recommend it and will get it again.
You just can’t go to Spiral without picking out some dessert. We had one of their famous brownies and a carrot cake cupcake. 
This is one of my FAVORITE meals to make on a busy night. It is so delicious and simple, if you try it, you’re sure to make it a regular thing at your house as well! Corn tortillas with refried beans spread on top, baked or microwaved sweet potatoes, spinach leaves, and green salsa. Go ahead….try it! It tastes so delicious!! Fresh corn on the cob was for the side.
We usually eat out Friday and Saturday night’s, so this is what we feasted on this weekend. Friday night we went to Sushi Zushi , to get some great edamame and sushi. We got a veggie roll, a pickled plum roll, and Eric got a spicy vegetable tempura roll, which is not vegan because it has some mayo sauce on it (just to warn you). 
If you live in Dallas and are vegetarian, I’m sure you’ve heard of Kalachandji’s . If not, it is Dallas’s oldest and most renowned Vegetarian restaurant. It’s almost completely vegan too. They have a couple of things that aren’t vegan, but they are always marked. On Saturday and Sunday’s they even offer a vegan dessert. This time was apple crisp (sorry no picture of that). It’s a buffet offering mixed veggies, rice, various Indian curries, homemade vegan raisin bread, and an amazing salad bar as well (in the brown bowl). I took pictures of both of our plates. It was a feast! They have the cutest garden to eat around outside, and we loved listening to the live guitarist that was playing. Kalachandji’s does not disappoint.
Lunch Time
This week I started back to work. The kids start back to school on Monday, but this past week was just for the teachers. My lunch times were a bit hectic because I was either working in my classroom during them, or I was out to eat with teachers. I did manage to get a couple of photos of what I ate.
Leftover Creamy Spinach Pasta (p. 161 in The McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook), salad with balsamic, and 1/2 of my carrot cake cupcake from Spiral Diner.
Leftover bean falafel patties (recipe from New Leaf newsletter I’ve posted about) turned in to an open face sandwich with bread and lots of mustard. Big yummy salad with balsamic.
This is a side salad from Cafe Express . It came with mixed greens and tomatoes. Then I just loaded up things from their awesome side bar (chickpeas, pickle, sundried tomatoes, pickled carrots, and olives). I drizzled it with balsamic vinegar.
This is a grilled tofu sandwich I made on Saturday afternoon. I love tofu like this! I love tofu anyway really though.
