Have no photos but I did up roasted golden beets; roasted potatoes and garlic (non veg w/pancetta!) which will be for the weekend. For dinner I sauteed Rainbow Swiss chard and did quinoa for the base. Heavenly! Have tons left over for the rest of the week.

now that the weather is turning cooler, it's time to make artichoke frittata, by sweating up a lot of onion and garlic with thyme and smoked paprika, then sauteeing a package of trader joe's frozen artichoke hearts in it. let it cool, then add a handful of freshly made bread crumbs, a lot of grated cheese, some parsley, and two eggs. mix it up and bake it in an oiled 9 by 13 pan with more cheese sprinkled on top until the cheese is brown and bubbly. serve it with a big salad.

@cybercita - That sounds fast and seriously delicious. I'll have to look for the frozen artichoke hearts at my neighborhood TJ's.

I found myself cooking for one last night, and discouraged from actually getting groceries by the fact that I needed to get WAY more than I could bring home on my bike, I decided to scrounge around in my pantry and use up the last remaining fresh source of protein in the house: a lonely, lonely egg.

I did a littl bit of a hackjob on chilaquiles, hitting one fresh ripe tomato with the immersion blender, cooking it with some hotsauce, a teaspoon of tomato paste, and some garlic powder, then stirring in some fried up pieces of corn tortillas. I went with eggs blindfolded for the easy factor, hit the plate with a dollop of sour cream, and dinner was served. mmm.

@junie, i became a vegetarian about two years ago and was curious to see how my friends, who had become accustomed to leg of lamb for sunday lunch, would react. so far, no complaints, and i get lots of requests for that frittata!

Just right for a damp & rainy night -- ratatouille made with bounty from a friend's garden, some items from the local farm stands, and pita rounds made earlier in the week to use as soppers.

Portobello Parmesan, portobello quesadillas, both delicious and hearty enough to be standalone meals :)

I think my favorite from my own temporary vegetarianism was the soba salad though. Easy to tweak to whatever's currently in season and really, tons of umami, very healthy... mmm, I kind of want some right now:

I made chocolate mousse and I veganized shauna's banana bread (I just added an extra banana and an extra 1/4 cup yogurt) and baked it as dinosaur-shaped muffins.

I had to go to a vegetarian potluck, so I made potato salad stuffed tofu pockets. http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2009/09/potato-salad-tofu-pockets.html
The extra ones I made were great for the lunch I packed using my new bento box.

Fall Flavored Red Lentil Soup with Eggplant

Hits the spot veg or not, and I am not. :)

I didn't get pictures, but did make the following:
- Casserole based upon grandmother's beloved mushroom rice; adding extra veggies and lentils to make it a meal.
- Quinoa-lentil curry, based upon an amalgam of recipes found online. This is definitely going into regular rotation! Included were chopped onions, shredded carrots, chopped apple, raisins, and squash.
- Grilled corn and black bean salad, with chopped cucumbers and red peppers and a dressing that includes lots of garlic and cilantro. I always roast extra corn for just such a use.
