This was the base recipe I used: https://www.budgetbytes.com/african-peanut-stew-vegan/

I included the optional rice (though I used basmati) but didn't add the cilantro or chopped peanuts. I included a whole bunch of collard greens instead of just half a bunch. I used vegetable bouillon and water instead of vegetable broth, paprika instead of crushed red pepper, ground ginger instead of grated ginger, and butter instead of olive oil.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's really delicious! It was definitely some effort to make though, especially since I sprained my wrist this morning and then had to chop a pretty sizable sweet potato.

I made this eggplant pasta recipe last weekend: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/240955/eggplant-pasta/

I added some parmesan, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I'm not a big eggplant person, and the recipe could've used a tad more flavor, but it was nice and hearty while also getting some good fruits and vegetables in!

I decided to actually make my post on time this week! This is the recipe I followed: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quinoa Bake

I used basmati rice instead of quinoa, though I would recommend sticking with the quinoa I think - even though they have similar cook times, the rice seemed to absorb more broth and leave it a bit dry. Still delicious though, and that's on me!

I followed this recipe to make them: https://www.budgetbytes.com/cheesy-kidney-bean-quesadillas/

The only change I made was adding a tablespoon of taco sauce inside, and they have been really good! I chose to get dark kidney beans - I'm not sure if light would have been better, but I think it worked out quite well.

This is the recipe I followed: https://sweetpotatosoul.com/instant-pot-white-beans/comment-page-1/#wprm-recipe-container-15022

I followed the stovetop instructions. It wasn't done at the end of the estimated time given, so I kept cooking it until the beans were soft. Only other modification I made was using Italian seasoning instead of rosemary because: *prices*

Hope everyone is having a great week, love seeing everyone else's meal prep as always!

Today I made black bean burritos following this recipe: https://www.budgetbytes.com/make-ahead-bean-and-cheese-burritos/

I omitted the chili powder but followed everything else exactly. The first few burritos I rolled were pretty ugly, but they improved. At the end, I realized I wouldn't be able to fit the remaining rice, beans, and cheese into the 8th tortilla, so I made a larger burrito bowl... that can be my "cheat day" meal (jk, I'm trying to gain weight- listen to your body and hunger cues and all that)

This is the recipe I used: https://thewoksoflife.com/soy-scallion-noodles-cong-ban-mian/#recipe

I didn't add the pork component, but I don't know where I went wrong lol. I think I just got the wrong type of noodles? Well, they can't all be a win, but I'll eat the last five servings regardless!

Hi friends! I was in an accident a few months ago that caused some chipped teeth and one that fractured to the point of getting a root canal. I only have one small chip left, but I’m wondering- is this even worth getting fixed if it isn’t causing any pain?

I don’t drink or smoke; I’ve been told my enamel is healthy, but I’m a recovered bulimic so idk lol

sorry for the picture quality :(
