((I had to chop a butternut squash for this, so I will be awarding myself a few points; tyvm.)) For this summer stew recipe, I used butternut squash, pinto beans, corn, onions, garlic, fresh basil, salt, and pepper.
It's been awhile since we played a game of "What Melissa Make?" ((20 points awarded to the person who first guesses correctly.)) ((Also, if you do nothing else today, please (please) be sure to take note of the nest I created for my garlic.)) ((ty.))
Melissa is confident there is a cheaper, faster way to acquire chili powder. Melissa is further convinced she's got a shaker-full already sitting on her counter. Melissa makes a homemade chili powder anyway. Melissa is a good sport about it all.
Vegan sausage, and chickpea pasta (with mushrooms) (in an Alfredo sauce), meal prepped, and plated; served with microgreens (and Parmesan) ((and pepper)). ((Sometimes "more fruits and veggies" looks like "more cheese and spices".)) ((It's a process.))
Melissa makes a mango fruit paste (from dried mangoes; that were soaked in water; then rehydrated -- then pulverized). ((Melissa doesn't know who she is anymore.))
I'm so mad at this tofu, but it was honestly delicious (as far as tofu goes) ((keeping in mind that I've had things that were not tofu before)). ((Too many qualifiers?))
