Can you believe he ate all but 1? He actually only saved the "1" because he wanted a snack tomorrow lol.
In order to participate, I picked up the Gardenburger Riblets ~ Did you know they are vegan? That was such a cool surprise when I saw it on the package. In fact, my entire dinner was vegan - woohoo!
Here are the riblets with The Husband's help in decorating with tomatoes - he's so funny!
These were pretty tasty and so far I have not been a fan of fake meat alternatives. I think the barbecue sauce really helps and so does the added tomato, who knew?!
Our sides were the same to make things easy. I made up a small batch of Crash Potatoes - I LOVE these. They are fairly easy and fun to make and super tasty. Then again, anything with potatoes+salt+olive oil = super yum! I followed the recipe in the link using small klamath potatoes but added a little crushed red pepper and paprika for color.
To balance out our meal, I made a huge pot of collard greens. I simply added a little olive oil to a pan over medium heat and 1 clove minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add a 1 lb bag of collard greens (I used Trader Joe's), sprinkle with salt, pepper, a little sugar, crushed red pepper flavors and 2 cups of veggie broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for about 35 minutes or until the greens are tender.
This dinner was so simple to make and I was able to prepare some of the other food for the week while it cooked. I made up a side for lunches and got my homemade spagetti sauce ready to cook in the crockpot all day tomorrow. Here it is all together.....
This afternoon I did snack on a few of The Husbands Butter Toffee almonds and a few more Trader Joe's Yogurt Covered Pretzels (all not pictured).
