Hummus, veggies, & a lil tofurkey slices - on sourdough bread. It’s good.

Tell me what you like for sandwiches. Or don’t.

I tried making vegan spring rolls, but my finger dexterity and patience were at a -12 today. After a bunch of fails (these 3 rolls were, sadly, my best attempts), I decided to just chuck everything together in a bowl and call it a “spring roll salad bowl”. I had initially planned for a peanut butter-chili dressing, but it was too hot for an additional step and the marinated noodles and tofu already had good flavor.

- rice noodles (tossed with sesame oil and seasoned vinegar)
- tofu (marinated with sesame oil and soy sauce)
- rice paper
- carrots
- mini sweet peppers
- mint, lemon basil, cilantro
- avocado
- red grapes (because I could)
- lime (squeezed over all)

I’m lucky and live near a great international market, so in addition to this for today’s lunch I was able to meal prep for 2 other meals. Total cost was about $1.50 USD/meal.

I’ll keep trying with the rice paper, but this as a noodle salad bowl “slaps”, “no cap”. With a few minor tweaks, it might be my potluck contribution at thanksgiving.

So whipped up some vegan Vegetable Soup Dumplings from Trader Joe's. Plus the usual Kimbap I get. Digging into some Dairy-Free Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream.

Wheel of baked cashew brie with maple syrup and rosemary beside baby red potatoes. On the plate we got airfried zucchini and tofu over baby greens.

The brie and zucchini were free from the food pantry. Salad greens were clearance for $1.57 (this is 1/5th of what was in the container). Got a 1.5lb bag of the baby potatoes on clearance for $1.25. The tofu, maple syrup, balsamic glaze, and spices were bought at full price.

I like it almost as much as burrito night. Simple truth ham and turkey slices, chao cheese, onion, cuc, banana peppers, baby spinach, mayo, mustard and smashed avo.
