Added green peppers mushrooms plus a frozen stir fry mix

Very tasty

We’ve enjoyed several recipes from Fast Fish by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison.

One of our favorites is their stir fried orange-hoisin halibut. Zucchini, green onions, ginger and halibut stir fried in a sauce of orange juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili sauce and cornstarch, garnished with roasted cashews. 15 min to roast the cashews, 2 min to stir fry.

For health reasons, we're going to try switching to a vegetarian/vegan diet.

So I'm looking for gut filling recipes.

What are your favorites?

Pesto pasta.
Pesto recipe:

juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp broth
3 Tbsp olive oil, good quality I use Corto
Salt to taste.
one or more cloves garlic.
Handful of fresh basil, we mostly grow our own.
1/2 handful of Italian parsley.

Blend in a food processor or stick blender.

Cook about 8 oz of whole wheat pasta for 16 minutes, I like DeLallo

Take 1 can of Artichoke hearts (Maria brand is good) drain, rinse and cut.

Mix Pasta with pesto, artichoke hearts, some microwaved frozen peas.
Top with pine nuts, capers and Grana Padano cheese.

Optional: Mix in lightly sautéed julienne vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, asparagus, broccoli.

I like pretty everything from the BGE. Spatchcock chicken is fast, easy, and somewhat healthy.
I love salads, especially as a meal with lots of different stuff on it. My wife will plan it out, I get grill duty, fruits (peaches anyone?) and vegetables first, followed by the protein. A nice sirloin medium rare sliced as thin as I can with a very sharp knife will do 4 salads for example, chicken, shrimp, fresh fish etc are all fair game, whatever trip the trigger. We hit the garden first and then get what's in season and fresh rather than follow a recipe, it always comes better that way.

Any of the many soups and stews that star beans. Happy eggs are also always a go to as well.

We've started using more tofu--always been a non-meat eater, but had bad experiences with tofu when I was a kid.

What's been working for us is to cube the tofu and brown it in the air fryer, do some version of a stir fry with some yummy sauce and add the cubed and browned tofu back in. When I was younger, I loved an Indonesian dish--more like a family of dishes--called Gado-Gado--and this gets you there, although we are typically not using peanut sauce (and the air fryer makes prepping the tofu easier.)

Crack an egg in

Microwave for another minute (makes a softboiled egg)

top with homemade kimchi to taste.

Other additives to make it fancy:
Sesame seeds
white pepper
lightly pan fried tofu

I do something very similar:
I use McCann's steelcut 5 minute oatmeal--recipe calls for 1/4 cut oats to 3/4 cup water. Boil the water, then add the oats and turn down the heat.

While the oats are cooking, I add: pre-minced ginger from a jar; a little pre-minced garlic from a jar; splash of soy sauce; splash of rice wine vinegar; a bit of gojuchang (korean chili paste, not necessary. you could add sriracha instead). Stir that all up and let the oats continue to cook. Sometimes I need to add a splash more water.

I crack an egg directly into the oatmeal and cover so the egg poaches in the oats.

Once the oats are done (takes about 5 minutes), I plop it all into a bowl and add scallions, kimchi, and sesame seeds on top.

I use the traditional 30 minute oatmeal and when it's done, I fry two eggs in a small cast iron pan. A small piece goes to the dog, the rest goes on top of the oatmeal.

I'll try mixing it in directly on a morning that the dog is asleep...but I swear, as soon as I crack the first egg, he's awake, down the stairs, and standing next to me, looking expectant.
