I had lunch with my daughter at our favorite local Mexican restaurant. The waiter brought us a complementary dish of avocado sauce. It was delicious, different than guac.


Anyway, not a lot of room for a big dinner.

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, trimmed snap peas and minced garlic. When done I added cooked butter beans, chopped parsley, and cooked brown rice. I added some vegan butter and gave everything a good stir. After plating I added crumbled vegan bacon and homemade parm on top. Cheers!🥂
