i have a serious brain disease. please bring me a cat.
It somehow came out at one gathering or another that I’d never seen Grandma’s Boy. And just like that, a Grandma’s Boy potluck was planned. Brunch and a movie. Okay, it wasn’t the worst thing ever, and I did laugh a few times, but mostly it was underwhelming. But now I’ve seen it and can stop getting harassed about it.
Brunch was awesome though:
Scramble on top of grits, a cheezy biscuit, raw garlicky kale, stuffed crescent rolls and coffee cake.
Oh, what’s this? Soup? I can’t stop! Things are really busy around here lately and I have no imagination when it comes to food. A bowl of soup and some toast is awesome when you’re in a hurry. I still had an asston of white beans left, so I tried out this Classic Tuscan White Bean Soup from Vegan Italiano. It was simple and hearty. Made a really satisfying meal. To get my veggies covered off, I tossed in some kale. You can almost never go wrong by tossing mild greens into a soup.
No biggie, just some lunch from Whole Foods. I rarely eat out for lunch, but had to run over that way and pick up Grover’s special million dollar cat food. It’s barley and wheat berries with curried corn on top, a few chunks of southern fried tofu and a big pile of garlicky kale.
We had a bag of May Wah chicken legs taking up space in the freezer because I don’t use a lot of this sort of pre-made fake meat stuff. So this week in an effort to use up some freezer stuff, we had wings. And you can see that Kevin had to pay for this by having not one but two vegetables as sides: kale chips and roasted cauliflower. I just googled for a recipe for the cauliflower and this one was the first result. You only need half the oil, if that, and I just left out the parmesan and chives. Kevin didn’t complain about it so I guess he liked it. That or he was too excited about wings to complain. Oh, and this was the sauce for the wings. I stuck to the recipe amounts because I wasn’t sure how spicy it would be. It wasn’t very spicy. Maybe next time we’ll cut in some spicier hot sauce.
Just a quick and easy weeknight meal of a burger, one of those I stuck in the freezer, sautéed kale with gomashio on top and tater tots.
