Hi everyone! Continuing with MiniMoFo's January theme of “new,” I tried another new recipe from another new cookbook. On Wednesday, I made the Lentil Sloppy Joes from Food52 Vegan by Gena Hamshaw; Zach & I enjoyed them on hamburger buns, with waffle fries on the side.
The leftovers came in handy for a quick late dinner on Thursday; my mom and I spent the day in Philadelphia at the Resistance in Philly: Fighting for Our Lives rally & march protesting Trump & the GOP who were staying at the Loews Hotel. The rally had a lot of great speakers, and then we marched, and wow, was it a crowd; the energy was absolutely amazing! I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, it was amazing and I am so glad that I went!

Hello on the 21st day of the Vegan Month of Food! Today I have a nice and simple recipe utilizing leftovers from previous posts Sloppy Joes and Another Lazy Saturday Post.
Sloppy Joe Burrito
Ingredients:
--about 1/2 cup prepared sloppy joe mix
--pita
--leftover snap peas and mushrooms
Re-heat the sloppy joe mix on the pita. Re-heat leftover snap peas and mushrooms separately, then add on top of the sloppy joe mix. Fold up the pita to make a burrito. Enjoy with tortilla chips.
I liked this leftover meal a lot, especially because the snap peas and mushrooms were actually way more enjoyable this time around, as part of the burrito. It's definitely a recipe to keep in mind when I have leftover sloppy joe mix.
Peace. :)
Hello on the 19th day of the Vegan Month of Food! Quick post tonight about the awesomely delicious sloppy joes that I made yesterday.
Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
--Fantastic Foods Sloppy Joe mix
--1 3/4 cup water
--1 T olive oil
--3 oz. spaghetti sauce (package calls for tomato paste, but I didn't have any on hand)
--2 slices Ezekiel bread (didn't have buns, but I really wanted those sloppy joes, so I was willing to improvise, and one of the slices was the end slice, so that's close enough to a bun, right?)
Prepare the sloppy joes by bringing the water to a boil, then adding the mix, oil, and sauce. Lower heat and let simmer until liquid is absorbed. Serve on toasted Ezekiel bread, with french fries and a salad, and enjoy the delicious messiness that is a sloppy joe.
I loved this sloppy joe; combined with the fries and salad, it was a great meal, and I didn't notice the amount of spiciness until I was about halfway done. (The first time I made this mix, it had seemed overly spicy to me from just the first bite.) All in all, it was a nice dinner, and there was plenty of leftover sloppy joe mix that I will use in other recipes.
Of course, a photo of Mr. Boogie to bring tonight's post to its close...
Peace. :)
