Sometimes, you just have to throw it together - Beefless Ground Beef, with Manwich... (VG).

Much like an outfit you have to randomly put together when you wake up late, realize you have no clean clothes, and have no matching socks (I hope I am not the only one this happens to...I will be really embarrassed otherwise), I came home and had no idea how to put together tonight's meal. I had exhausted my go-to meals, and really want to force myself to think outside of the box to get a broader option of meals I can go to at a moment's notice.

Feel free to laugh. I had a meal of 1/2 a cup of quinoa, Roasted Brussel Sprouts with olive oil and garlic, and, the piece de resistance, Trader Joe's Beefless Ground Beef in...manwich sauce. Yes, that's how pathetic it got tonight. I doctored up the manwich mix with some other seasoning (Montreal Steak Seasoning, I'm so uncreative) and a little soy sauce to make it tast less ketchup-y. I think I went too heavy on the salt, but other than that, it was passable. I am taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, so clearly it wasn't inedible. I may actually use it to make a "real" sloppy joe sandwich next time, instead of just having the meat/sauce over quinoa. We'll see.

Tonight's meal, while not bad, was not something I can see myself going to in a moment's notice. But, it sufficed in a pinch, which is the same thing I can say about this morning's outfit.
