Quinoa Chili

 Canadian Living 2020 veggie cookbook; online here. This is surprisingly fantastic; quinoa makes a great chili texture. Added avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lemon juice as garnishes.

Zucchini Noodles with Feta

 From the 2020 veggie cookbook; online here. This gets most of its flavor from the feta and basil, so don't skimp. Not a great dish for Corey, though.

Veggie-Stuffed Squash Bowls

 From Canadian Living's 2020 veggie book, online here. Easy and delicious. Make squash soup at the same time.

Turmeric Tofu & Pineapple Skewers

 From Canadian Living's "Enjoy Your Veggies" book from 2020, p. 64. Can't find online for some reason?? Delicious and filling.

Watermelon and Feta Salad

 From Nigella Lawson. Utterly delicious, refreshing, and surprisingly filling. Good for Corey if you omit the feta.

Spaghetti Squash with Mushroom and Pearl Onion Ragout

From Canadian Living, online here.

Delicious, flavourful, and filling. Addition of some parmigiano reggiano adds extra pizzazz. Maybe go a leeeetle easier on the salt than advertised? Could be vegan if you omit the butter (and aforementioned cheese).

Tofu Udon Stir Fry

From Canadian Living; online here.

My corn starch expired in 2015, yikes, so I used flour instead to no ill effect. Also added some chili garlic sauce to the tofu while frying it, just because that's what I remember my stir-fry wizard friend doing back in the day. Note to self: use a non-stick pan next time.

Results could use salt, to my taste - the mushrooms soaked up all the saucy deliciousness - but a bit of soy sauce takes care of that nicely. For a vegan recipe, this was actually shockingly filling.

Recipe claims $2 per serving; grocery bill says $5.33, though that's because I didn't have sesame oil or hoisin sauce on hand. For non-pantry ingredients only, $3.66.
