And the second is that I'm finally buckling down and writing my novel. I have a MFA in Writing, so it's not like I have an excuse for not doing it ... I'm just a slacker. With that in mind, I'm making myself write a least an hour every day. No breaks, no exceptions.
This means there's less time to cook. We don't want to resort to take-out food, so J has picked up the slack and cooked a few meals this week. Both of them turned out great!
Okay, here's a breakdown of the new dishes we tried:
Enchilada Casserole from 500 Vegan Recipes
. This one was nice and spicy, with the faux chorizo and the green salsa I added to the mix.
J made Black Soybean and Kabocha Squash Stew from The Kind Diet
. This was delicious!! Even with the substitution of butternut squash for kabocha, it was amazing.

wow those all look fantastic, Bean!!! especially the black bean-squash stew!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks yummy! And it seems like having a husband is pretty handy in the perpetual food/writing balance. Every night it's Dinner versus The Novel, and the novel usually loses! You're putting some ideas into my head!
