CousCous, Pasta & Beans, Vegan white sauce & Brussel Sprouts

I have been cooking sorry I have neglected posting. I have been totaling busy. But with no further ado.... Here are some of the recipe I have made lately...

Corn & Couscous salad from the Martha Stewart living web page.. Out of all the couscous recipes I don't know why I chose this one but sadly I did. I am not a big fan of curry powder alone. And this tastes alot like curry powder. John and I both really did not like it... But here is a link incase you would like to try it.... Martha Stewarts Corn & Couscous salad

Next up is Pasta with a Northern Bean white sauce. I make this when I want something quick and easy.. very quick and easy. I throw spinach in also. Just to round it out a little.
I take a can of northern beans and drain it.
Put half the can into the blender of food processor and add a good amount of pepper and some water or soy milk. You might want to try some nutmeg too. Thats the spice that is in dairy white sauce. You aso might want to try so light smart balance in the mix.
I put the rest of my beans in the pasta. Mix in the spinach and then poor the sauce over. 15 minutes and dinner is served....



Sometimes I also just use the white beans, pasta & spinach. Just melt some smart balance light and some salt and pepper.. That way you have far less dishes and done even quicker. Fast and simple for those of the go days..

I have also recently become a fan of Brussel sprouts having my first one just a month or so ago. I used the recipe from Vegan Lunch Box Names Best Brussel Sprouts and John and I loves them..! I could have just had a dinner of Brussel...!!! they were awesome. But we had it with Roads end soy mac and soyrizo. This is also the first time I have also had soyrizo. In this pic they are not mixed together. But we mixed it with the Roads end and made Chili make and it was pretty good too. The soyrizo is pretty spicy. I was kinda surprised.

Lately I have also tried the soy chreese packets on my Popcorn too.. It is pretty Tasty.. And I am not a big soy cheese fan.
