fake chicken lo mein

The brand Gardein has recently made a ton of new vegan fake meat products...a lot are carried at Target. Some are not that good, some are great.
There website is great:

Out of their fresh stuff I like the Sante Fe Good Stuff a lot. The BBQ pulled shreds are good too, but there are a lot of different vegan fake pulled pork options. The chiken strips are no different then all the other fake meat chiken strips. The herb dijon breasts are DISGUSTING, but the rest of the fresh options are ok, especially if served on the side with something like veggies and mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Now their frozen selection is even better- the buffalo wings and the BBQ wings are not that amazing, but ok. I have not tried the burger. But the other options are all great. In particular, I LOVE the chipolte lime chicken fingers, and the mandarin orange crispy chicken is PHENOMENAL. I also love that their food packaging comes with great recipe ideas, and their website has a ton of recipes as well.
My new favorite quick and easy dinner is making some udon noodles and mixing in the mandarin orange crispy chicken. Once the noodles are cooked I put both the chicken (with the sauce that comes in the package) and the noodles in a wok and cook for a bit longer, frying a bit. Delicious.

vegan cmofort food...Tempeh, avocado and tomato sandwich

This is my version of a BLT, modified from Otherside Cafe's TLT...
I did one layer of lightly fried lightlife tempeh bacon strips, one layer of sliced avocado, one layer of tomatoes, and nayonaise on the toasted bread, served with chips on the side, goes best with a good light beer!

Lentil stew

This was meant to be a lentil soup but the lentils sucked up the water- so it was more like a stew, but I think I liked it better that way...

Ingredients:
6-8 peeled and chopped carrots
1 red bell pepper chopped
4 white potatoes peeled and chopped
2TBsp olive oil
1tsp sage
1tsp marjoram
1tsp oregano
1tsp thyme
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp rosemary
1TBsp vegan worcestershire sauce
2TBsp garlic
2 TBsp nutritional yeast
1 can chopped tomotaoes
1 cup white rice
1 package lentils
1/2 cup coy sauce

Directions:
In a large soup pan saute the spices and garlic in the olive oil. Then add the carrots and potatoes and cover with the spice mixture. Then add the lentils, rice, tomatoes, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and yeast.
Add 8-10 cups of water (so it covers most of the additives) and bring to a boil. Then turn to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes.

Even though it wasn't a soup it was a spicey deliciousness!
