For the past couple of nights as I lay in bed, I’ve been plotting the perfect recipe for LoMein sauce. Tonight I put all of that brainstorming to the test!!

Veg ExpLoMein

stir fry veggies (whatever wets your whistle)
whole wheat spaghetti noodles
low sodium organic vegetable broth
low sodium soy sauce
Ponzu
red curry paste
organic corn meal

The Sauce

Bring the broth, curry paste (as much as you want), soy sauce, ponzu, and corn meal to a low boil. Whisk the ingredients together throughout the heating process. You want it to turn thick enough so that it sticks to the veggies and noodles.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook until they’re almost done…keep them al dente.

Sautee your veggies in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If you want a little spice, add some red pepper flakes.

Combine all ingredients together.

Delicious!

As I worked at the Lab today I thought of everything I had at home and what I could make for dinner. I knew I had to use the whole wheat sub bread I had because it’s going to go bad soon. I remembered that last week I bought some Morningstar Chik’n Patties and then it hit me! Buffalo chicken sandwiches!!

The Rustillo Chicken Sandwich

Whole Wheat sub bread
Morningstar Chik’n Patties
Your favorite hot sauce
Your favorite buffalo sauce
Organic spinach
Veggie Pepper Jack Cheese
Red onion
Thinly sliced tomatoes
Cayenne pepper

Arrange the sandwich however it moves you to.

I like a good sandwich…its one of my favorite foods. With the right ingredients the sandwich can go from good to memorable. Everybodys different when it comes to the sandwich. I’m a firm believer in “The Sandwich Shop”. Across my kitchen counter I put a spread of many sandwich fixins all ready for you to pile on your bread.

Along with the Rustilo Chicken Sandwich, Loren made his Black Bean Potatoes recipe. He heated up some Imagine Bistro Organic Cuban Black Bean Bisque and mixed it with some re-heated Chipotle Mashed Potatoes from the other night. We finished off the mixture with some veggie cheese shreds and cayenne pepper.

A meal without meat doesn’t necessarily mean a salad. If you feel like you can’t give up meat entirely, practice being a meat-reductionist. The less meat you eat, the better you feel. The better you feel, the better your life.
