I made my first Sloppy ANYTHINGs tonight - the Snobby Joes. I used a hot chili powder and red pepper instead of green - and while cooking and sitting I thought, man I am not going to like these, when I finally ate them, I totally did.
I'm sure I'll be eating these for lunch at least twice this week as well. I really like that they're made with lentils, because I rarely eat them, and that's not right.
Tofu Florentine - over paprika roasted red potatoes and steamed spinach. This is the second or third time I've made this. I use the broiled tofu sauce and do a baked tofu with it, since my oven is a bit off and I enjoy chewy tofu. I actually made baked 'broiled' tofu twice this past week. I like to add a teeny dab of Chipotle Yumm spread to the cheezy sauce, since Tommy's in love that stuff and we seem to often have the end of a jar in the fridge.
Quick, working with what ya have brunch - Diner style homefries with garlic, veggie sausage, mango and spinach with even more garlic.
Pumpkin Baked Ziti - I used whole wheat penne, added some roasted butternut squash cubes and used chopped shallots instead of onions. This is a half batch, and gave us one dinner and 3 or 4 lunches' worth. We could really see this doing well as a side dish at a fall or winter potluck.
Served with baby spinach and carrots splashed with white balsamic vinegar.
Roasted butternut squash with sea salt. I used the times from the Nomicon recipe, but not the spices. The leftovers are what went into the pasta above. I roasted half of a huge squash, and the other half is cubed and in the freezer.
And a goodbye to my No Sweats! It was time. These lasted me 3 years, and I wore them a ton. Who needs Converse?

Every time I see your florentine picture, I want to try it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet! The spinach with garlic looks so good, too!
I made the florentine immediately after I purchased the book and looooved it!
Did you already replace your No Sweats?
the home fries look great
I can't wait to try the snobby joes, even though I eat lentils incessantly :)
IMO, you can never have too many lentils, or too much cilantro! Mwaaaahaaaa! (ok sorry.)
3 years?? sounds like my kind of shoes :)
I've only tried a tofu version of Sloppy Joes, but lentils sound so much better!
Speaking of old sneaks, I FINALLY bought a new pair of curduroy sneaks, after years of wearing the same old beat up ones. Hooray for new shoes!
ahh, classic, delicious dishes indeed - the roasted butternut squash is my favorite!!
wow, you really got proper use out of those sneakers!! R.I.P.!!
Love the shoes...I used to wear my Vans down to holes too!
The tofu florentine looks wonderful!

I have to try the ziti, it looks so good.
I love lentils, but I don't eat them often either. That will change now :)
r.i.p. no sweats! good job!
It's been ages since I've had sloppy anything, and you've given me a major craving.
I made the pumpkin baked ziti last week and it was sooooo good. Though I admit, I am a sucker for anything with pumpkin. I didn't even think to add anything else to it, you've put the idea in my head now...
DAMN, can I come over?!
A great deal of useful information for me!
