Being a midwesterner, I'm the queen of the casserole.

Tonight.

I made a simple white cheese sauce (something similar to Mueller's mac & cheese sauce, but I used Cabot's Smoked White Cheddar). I cooked about a half cup or so of multi-color veggie macaroni, drained it, then dumped it in a casserole dish with a bag of frozen cauliflower and broccoli flowerets (I didn't have much energy tonight). I poured the sauce over, sprinkled extra cheese on top, and shook some bread crumbs over, then baked it for about 35 minutes at 375F.

Meanwhile, I had half a tomato sprinkled with salt and white balsamic vinegar. I also made a pasta salad to keep in the fridge (garlic, onion flakes, basil, oregano, parsley, olive oil, white balsamic, balsamic, neptune's dream pasta shapes, tomato). I just realized I forgot to add the roasted red pepper. Best go do that. ;)

I don't cook protein for every meal. I snacked on some mushroom Field Roast, though. And I think my husband had some nuts.

Last night, I made lumpia with cabbage, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, chicken-style seitan, no-soy sauce (marmite based), carrots, onion, and garlic. And I made a sauce out of no-soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Very yummy. I think we had some other veggies, too, but I can't remember.

Mid-westerners don't use basalmic vinegar.

Have mercy. That casserole (or hot dish, hee hee) sounds really incredibly good. Now I'm all inspired.

Yes, this sounds very much like hot dish! Although Minnesotans wouldn't be that fancy. It'd be plain macaroni, powdered cheddar cheese sauce, and I think broccoli and cauliflower would be too healthy!

Sounds yummy though!
