I didn’t take any pics so i’m just gonna describe tomorrow’s menu which is also my last for the summer, yay unemployment right when my partner is being constructively dismissed by a return to office that was never in office
Anyway, i got buffalo “chicken” wraps where I took this kinda bad gardein brand fake chicken that’s made of wheat and soy protein, steamed it to thaw, chopped it, tossed it in an adulterated buffalo sauce i fucked up with extra seasoning, soy sauce, roasted garlic, parsley and a bit of oil before roasting it until it got to a decent “yea that’s cooked chicken” texture. Cooled that down while i tossed some chopped romaine (which looked fucking amazing btw, if you’re ever excited about the quality of pre prepared produce, this is that good lettuce) and diced cherry tomatoes in what was basically sriracha mixed with vegan mayonnaise, seasoning, and a shitload of roasted garlic blended into it. Loaded all of that into tortillas, sliced and back in the fridge. They look really good and i hope 20 of them will be enough
Next up is kinda boring but still really good I got some green beans i steamed to perfectly green and crunchy, chilled, and then tossed in a dressing that was some random amount of red wine vinegar, lemon juice, that good stone ground dijon, oil, and again, various seasonings (mostly garlic, onion powder, a bit of thyme and basil, maybe some parsley i can’t remember if i found that in the fridge but the time i made this). Mmm.
Next up also sounds boring but it’ll fuck you up i promise, i roasted some cauliflower til browned after tossing it in onion/garlic/thyme, cooled that down, then tossed it in a vegan pesto which is super easy to make (it’s just nutty basil aioli and come on anyone can make an aioli) and super good btw fresh basil is fucking amazing. Anyway that cauliflower is going to be so fucking good
I also have leftover sesame linguini which unfortunately got fucked up sitting in the warmer all day but i’m gonna be real im gonna sauce it and still serve it because i don’t want to run out of food. Tomorrow is for cleaning so i can go be unemployed
I also have vegan cookies which got all fucked because wow it turns out the oven i never use is really hot in the left back corner
Yall probably won’t get pics of those last 2
P.s. the reason i steam and chop the gardein chicken strips is because i think the taste and texture is awful enough, at least doing that changes the appearance to look more pleasing, to me at least (it’s more like chopped cooked chicken and less “looks like pressed strips of cooked soy and wheat flour”, but ironically i think at least one of the students hates vegan stuff that looks like meat (sorry, that guy)
