Yummy Tempeh

Today's lunch from Whole Food's: Sesame

Tofu Noodles, Chickpea Salad and Lemon

Roasted Tempeh. I love when Tempeh is on

the salad bar!

Thai Noodle Salad

$10.99/pound from Whole Foods. Fortunately,

I only bought a little over a half pound because

it was not good. Not spicy. Too vinegary. But

I ate the whole thing anyway.

Mimosa Asian Fusion Restaurant

Mimosa Asian Fusion Restaurant.

I guess we were early.

This is Mr. SV's Tofu with Sweet Basil. My

Kung Pao Tofu is in the background. Both

were delicious and a bargain at $7.95 each.

We will be back soon!

Trader Joe's Soy Nuggets

Saturday night - Trader Joe's Soy Nuggets with
Goddess Dressing and corn on the cob.

A Smattering Of Kung Pao Seitan

Some reheated Kung Pao Seitan from Whole

Foods today. I dont know why WF's Seitan is

always so sweet, but it was tasty.

Another Soup & Wrap

The four grain and tofu wrap with a bowl of

split pea soup.

Dinner was just a repeat of last night with

steak instead of chicken. Very tasty.

Some Salad With My Dressing

The above is just a serving suggestion. Goddess
dressing goes good on everything.


After the tainted pet & baby food scandals, I'm
getting leery of eating these Chinese faux meats.
Last night we had the 'Chicken Breast'.

Served with Imagine Mushroom Gravy, steamed
Broccoli and a Baked Spud topped with Sour
Supreme.

Upside Down Lunch

Soy Beef & Broccoli from Whole Foods'
hot Asian bar. Unfortunately, I dont know
how to rotate pictures yet. This was super
delicious!

Weekend Recap

Friday night -- Boca Burgers with Oven Fries.

Saturday night - Seitan with Roasted Cauliflower.

I used Susan's Ribz recipe for the seitan and

instead of baking it, I boiled it for two hours.

Topped with A1.

Sunday night - A steamin' pile of Broccoli and

the other half of the Saturday's seitan.

Whole Foods Again - Soup & Wrap

A Vegan Wrap and Adobo Black Bean Soup for

lunch today.

Chicken and Waffles

Dinner tonight.


The Van's Waffles were fantastic! An easy and
filling meal.

More Shades Of Beige

Artichokes with Kalamata Olives.

Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant

Lunch today was at Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant


Diced soy protein sautéed with dried tofu, celery,
organic carrots, green and red bell peppers and
sprinkled with peanuts in spicy kung pao sauce.

The Beige and the Brown

Lunch today was from Whole Food's Salad Bar:
Grilled Tofu, Sundried Tomato Dumplings and
Lentil & Tomato Salad

Tonight's Dinner was Black Bean Burrito's.
Unfortunately, I just noticed the third
ingredient of the tortillas is honey.

They came out well. Served as above.

Susan's Ribz

Dinner last night.

CSA Soup

I added potatoes and pigeon peas. Very yummy!

Blue Moon Cafe

Lunch today was at Blue Moon Cafe in Shepherdstown
West Virginia. The cafe is known for its outdoor dining but
unfortunately, due to Tropical Storm Hanna, we ate
indoors.

We started with the Tuscan White Bean Bruschetta,
("a savory blend of northern white beans, olive oil,
balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic & basil served with
toasted ciabatta fingers") which came out looking unlike
Bruschetta and more like a pile of beans and some
bread crusts. It turned out to be delicious! We loved it!

I had the Veggie Wrap ("Lettuce, tomato, onion,
cucumber, sprouts, hummus, Jack, and sun dried
tomato mayo"). It was just so so. It probably would've
been better if it was made w/the cheese & mayo,
but I certainly felt good after I ate it.

Easiest Dinner

Last night we had Tofu Scramble, Veggie Sausages

and Crispy Hashbrowns. Fast, delicious and easy.

Whole Foods Again

Veggie Cutlets were on the hot bar today so I
had to get some. They were deliciously crisp on
the outside, moist and succulent on the inside.
Stuffed with rice and mushrooms. As a side I got
Roasted Veggies, also delicious.

Whole Foods

Lunch today was all my favorites from the Whole Foods' salad bar:

Gigantic Beans, Roasted Tempeh, Artichokes & Olives and Broccoli

with Balsamic Viniagrette.

Hot Breads Indian Bakery

Lunch today was from Hot Breads Indian Bakery in Herndon, Virginia. The outside is currently nondescript. They just opened next door to Charcoal Kabob in the K-Mart Shopping Center. This is a partial menu, they have many vegetarian entrees.

I ordered the Alu Tikka Chaat. "A veggie cutlet in
chickpea sauce, onions, mint, garlic and tamarind sauce."

Unfortunately, these Veg. Curry Puffs are not
vegan.

I brought it back to my desk. It was very spicy and delicious!

I can't wait to go back and try other things on their
menu.

C.W. Tiffins

Lunch today was at C.W. Tiffins in Charlestown, West Virginia

Open since April, the restaurant is in a restored historic building.

We sat 'outside' in the enclosed patio addition.

Service was very friendly and accomodating.

They had a limited menu for the Labor Day

holiday, and the Veggie Burger wasn't on it.

Our server was sweet enough to ask the chef

if they could make an exception for me and

they did.

The Veggie Burger was served on Pretzel Bread with

homemade chips. Even though I specified no cheese
and no mayo on my burger, they grated parmesan cheese
on my chips. Oh well, it didn't melt so the cheese was easy
enough to shake off.

Every component of this dish was high quality.
Gorgeous ripe tomatoes, warm soft pretzel
bread, perfectly cooked chips and a very tasty
burger. A store bought previously frozen burger,
possibly Gardenburger, but still delicious.

My only concern from viewing this picture is
where those grill marks came from. I didn't
notice them at the time I ate the sandwich.
Oh well. Whatever was on the grill before my
order must've surely been burned off before
my food hit it.

On Top Of Spaghetti...

...not covered with cheese....
...I had some Trader Joes's meatballs...

...'cuz I eat cruelty free....

That was dinner last night with fresh homemade tomato sauce.
