Peanut Basil Stir Fry

A simple veggie stir fry with a peanut butter and basil sauce. I added a package of Morningstar Farms Chik'n strips for protein and some chili pepper flakes for spice.

Sweet and Sour TVP Meatballs

TVP stands for textured vegetable protein. It comes in little dried crumblies that you rehydrate and the resulting texture is much like ground beef. TVP doesn't have much flavor by itself but it readily absorbs any added liquid. These were very tasty and very filling. I just ate them alone, but these would go great in a sub sandwich or with spaghetti. Once again, the chewy texture was spot-on and I guarentee even meat-lovers would love these.

Mexican Over-Stuffed Peppers

As always, I used a variety of veggies in this dish. There's some mushrooms, onions, black olives, zucchini, and garlic. I also mixed in some soy chorizo (Trader Joe's <3) and brown rice. The melted stuff you see on the top is soy cheese. Usually I'm not a fan of faux cheeses but this particular brand melts really well, which makes all the difference. The leftover stuffing is like Mexican fried rice and tastes pretty good by itself.
