Beet soup & chickin salad

Maybe this doesn’t totally qualify as a lazy meal since I did make the soup. But it was already made. And the salad greens were already prepped, even if I did it. So maybe this is a quick meal instead of a lazy one. The salad is made up of whatever salad stuffs I had in the fridge. I had a half package of Gardein chick’n filets so they were basted with some General Tso’s sauce we had and cooked up in the George Foreman. The sauce didn’t really penetrate the filets at all so it didn’t quite work out how I wanted. But it was still good on top of the salad.

And then, a cup of leftover roasted beet soup.

 

Post hike Mexican food at El Chupacabra

After all that exertion, we were ready for some food. Kevin found a Mexican restaurant near the townhouse that had vegan options. Also, it was called El Chupacabra, so we HAD to go. They use Daiya cheese and Gardein meats but unlike a lot of places, they actually further flavor the Gardein with their own sauces.

I had the Gardein chicken enchiladas in a green sauce.

This was a huge plate of food. I could not finish it even after all the hiking. In addition to the cheeziness on top, there was plenty of melty Daiya inside with the Gardein. Happy tummy.

I’m not sure if Kevin got a burrito or chimachanga, but here it is.

And, they had an awesome jukebox.

We desperately need a Mexican restaurant here that has fake meats and Daiya. But I’d settle for just the Daiya. But for now we have to settle for creating our own deliciousness at potlucks.
