Monbento Original #53 (Double Tier)

 

You didn't see this casserole the first time around, but doesn't it look nice? It was a cheesy rice-and-veggie casserole with TVP, made out of leftovers and odds and ends and topped with Daiya cheese and buttery cracker crumbs. I love casseroles, even when they aren't pretty, though.

Here, it is served alongside some steamed carrots, mushroom-spinach-tomato saute, and a salad of arugula, spinach, cucumber, and Cara Cara oranges with an improvisational maple tahini dressing.

Everything here worked. I had no recipes for any of it; I just went for it. I wasn't sure about the salad, but it really did turn out great! I may be gradually teaching myself, once and for all, to eat greens. We'll see!
