When I'm in the kitchen, I would say my best things are 'experimental'.

I get some ideas to mix unlikely ingredients together and build a meal from there.

Here's one for you:
Shredded BBQ Tofu Smoky Roasted Corn Tamales
w/ Braised & Glazed Cashew/Prune Stuffed Butternut Squash
& Mixed Greens Refried Beans topped w/ a Ranch-Style Olive Tapenade Dipping Sauce. smirk NIIICE!!!


Give it to me! Whatchya got! wink

Carmelized Onion dressing. It uses some balsamic vinegar and fresh citrus.

Curried Croquettes (potato cakes made with potato, peas and scallions)
Young Pea Sprouts with Lemon Ponzu Dressing
Fried Tofu Nuggets with Hoisin dipping sauce
Greek-inspired panini with hummus, red onion, red peppers, lettuce, feta cheese and olives
Mexi-Cali Black Bean burgers with avocado relish
Mushroom Potstickers

Some of these aren't entirely original, but I add my own flavors to them to make it my own!

Ohhh. Now I'm hungry!

ME TOO!!! LOL!!!

Fortunately, We're getting ready to eat!

All of that sounds GREAT!!! The avocado relish sounds ridiculous [and I'm talkin' in a very good way]!

I've gotta try this one.

You have to understand... I'm an avocado junkie. It has to be, if not thee favorite food of mine, one of them. I'm an avocado purist!

Lov'em, Lov'em, Lov'em!!! grin
