"Chicken" Cutlets!

We're home for the weekend! Tonight Christine and I made dinner. I got this burger recipe here, but made them more like chicken cutlets. Here they are just out of the oven.
Then I used this recipe for fried "chicken." I was a little bummed to fry them.. but here they are! They look the same, but it was really different!

And an inside shot!

This was the whole meal. We also made roasted asparagus and mashed potatoes, and there's some garlic bread there in the middle. Good dinner!

Oh yeah, and while I was making them I dropped the oats... all over the place.

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a car! I'm taking out a loan and getting aaaa.. 1999 Honda Civic.. it's beautiful! Wooo!


*EDIT* HERE IT IS!!!

Sushi, Kitty, Dinner

The other night I made sushi, because I want to make it next week for my apartment warming party, and I had only made it once before. I needed to brush up on my skill. It turned out better than the first time, but still just mediocre. I think it was better by default because last time I made it in a dorm room.

It has cucumber, carrots and avocado. I took it to work.
Oh yeah, this is Emilia. She wanted to help out.
Then last night I made stuffed peppers. There's tofu, brown rice, peppers, tomatoes, kidney beans and onions. Not bad at all!

Two Dinners and Muffins

On Friday I went to a restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware called Deep Blue. It's sort of a fancy place, so me and my friend Ben felt really out of our element, haha. And it was expensive too, so I just got a little spinach salad. It had like, cucumber, apple, grapes and walnuts. It was good though. We were mainly there to see our saxophone professor performing in a jazz combo.


Then on Sunday I made the Apple Pie Crumb Cake Muffins from VWaV for the boy and his apartment-mates. I halved the recipe and made 12 mini muffins, I brought three back here for me, Christine and Julia. I have yet to eat mine but the boys said theirs are already gone.. must have been good!

Today I made this salad for dinner. It has couscous, tomatoes, broccoli, squash, bell pepper, walnuts, raisins and alfalfa sprouts. Yummy :-D

A Few Days of Food

Monday night I made sweet potato fries for the first time! I think I cut them too thin and cooked them too long.. but I seasoned them with chili powder and cinnamon like I saw on Laura's blog.. and they weren't terribly bad! I'll definitely try again. We had Boca burgers too.


Wednesday night we ate at Arpeggio, an Italian place with good vegan options. I had the falafel salad, it was good!
And I just made these for work tomorrow. Cinnamon rolls! I got the recipe here.

Sorry for the short entry, but we're watching a movie called "Melinda and Melinda" now.

Cupcakes and Tofu

Today was a good Sunday! Christine bought some oops paint at Home Depot to paint a wall in her kitchen red. It's looking pretty cool. I made some cupcakes while she painted. Chocolate with pink tinted buttercream frosting (leftover from the pistachio rose cupcakes) with red sugar, walnuts, banana chips, a drizzle of melted chocolate, and a cherry on top!

Sunday sundae cupcakes!The batch ended up making 12 mini and 9 regular cupcakes!

For dinner we made fusilli pasta with tofu "meat" balls in pasta sauce. I made the tofu balls myself, but they fell apart in the sauce :-( I actually made them a while ago and froze them.. so I don't remember what they're made of! Tofu.. uhmm bread crumbs, wheat germ I think, oregano and basil.. some stuff! In any case.. it made a good chunky sauce!
