Default Spaghetti Salad

We are fixing to have some hot weather ahead. I will have to check the
dates first but I will plan to make this for the day that it hits because it
is served cold. And by some stroke of luck, I have all of the ingredients!
For some reason, I was possessed to place an order on Amazon Fresh for
produce and I got pretty much all of what I needed. They were out of red
onions. I had tried to order them. I could have gotten a 2 pound bag but I
only wanted a single onion and they were out of those. So I got shallots
instead. I will be subbing those in. Basically it's cooked spaghetti mixed
with sliced black olives and diced vegetables with an Italian dressing. The
vegetables called for are Roma tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, assorted
bell pepper, red onion and cucumber. I will probably add some celery too
because we like it and I have it. There is paprika and parmesan cheese
added to the dressing and cubes of cheddar added to the salad. Because I
can't have cheese, I will leave that out but will add it to the other
portions as I serve it. I will probably also add some beans to it so I can
have protein. Either kidney and/or white beans. Whatever I have. I did
restock some of my stockpile but am running low on beans. Or, hmmm... I
may even cook up some dried ones if I have those.

I had originally ordered some of the produce to serve as hot vegetables with
meat. I may save a little out to do that as I will have more than I need.
I love a mix of carrots, bell peppers and red onion with a lot of black
pepper.

I am just happy that someone posted this recipe on Facebook. I had the news
on and they mentioned the hot weather coming. I was like... Dang! And I
just bought all of those vegetables! Oh and... If you have Amazon Prime,
deliveries are free now for groceries if you order $50. I just didn't feel
like going to the store. I placed the order that evening and got it prior
to 6:00 a.m. so it worked out quite well for me. So far I have never gotten
any bad produce from them. And I have been having trouble finding good
onions or even any shallots in the stores.

There are no professional/business settings in Texas, especially not
in the wet back beaner illegals part where you live... the closest
you've ever come to a professional/business setting is negotiating
with Jesus Gonzales over an off the books for cash gardening gig.

Hey, leave off the bigotry.

If you want to be somewhat edgy you could simply say "mojados".

No one in these parts says "beaners" .

Ok, I have to draw the line there...

But these look fine to me:

No kimchi, just a bright cucumber pickle.

Okay, I pinned that one.... had absolutely no idea how to categorize
it (according to my Pinterest hierarchy), so it went under the generic
"recipes". Thanks.

Have you ever tried nutritional yeast to get a cheesy flavor? I
haven't, but I've heard it works. Just curious.

My pleasure, I love her website and it was one I just stumbled upon
thinking about Korean tacos.

What I'm more likely to to is take some skirt steak, do a nice bulgogi
marinade then grill it off and go.

But it's cool that she uses already cooked pulled pork and adds the
sauce - repurposed heaven.

Would that be brewer's yeast?

Or something along the lines of marmite?

Regular people use Amazon too. I just went to Costco and Winco today. The
closest store to my house that sells produce is about 2 miles away. If I
don't need something immediately and Amazon will deliver it for free, then
why not do that? I got the produce in less than 24 hours. Much less. So
it works for me! I also order some of my groceries from Walmart. I can't
get all that I need online but if I place a $50 order, it ships for free
plus I get Swagbucks. I can get cat litter and cat food this way. So why
not? I just have to plan ahead with stuff like that.

I have purchased the beef from Amazon. It's a tad expensive but good. I
really do like the organic, grass fed that I have been buying from Walmart
though. So far it is the best textured and best tasting that I have found.

Yes. I liked it okay in nut cheese and when I could eat potatoes, I liked
it in a stuffed potato. I even bought some to use in some recipe but now I
can't remember what the recipe was for. I do not like it sprinkled on pasta
though. And I do not like the fake, powdered type cheeses made with it that
are designed to sprinkle on pasta. To me they ruin the dish. The last time
I ate pasta, I put pine nuts on top. I also put them on my pizza with Daiya
cheese. Some people think that pine nuts remind them of a mild cheese. I
am not in that camp but they do have protein and many years ago I bought
pizza from QFC that had pine nuts on top. I liked it. I like the texture
that they add.

All three are different things. Nutritional yeast can be hard to find. I
order it online now. Not many stores in this area sell it. Fred Meyers
does. But if you are avoiding dairy, you do have to be careful. Some is
not guaranteed to be dairy free.

You made a consumer choice.

Sounds like a sound one.

I will look at their selection next time and sample.

Interesting to see them offer this level of product.

Thanks.

Yes. I don't think I'm a total cheapskate, but I try to save money when I
can. And staying out of the store does actually save me money. When I am
shopping online, it is much harder for me to pick up an impulse item because
I tend to only look for the items I want. In a brick and mortar store, I
pass by all sorts of things. Today at Costco, I picked up a bag of some
kind of Cheezits that are a cross between a cracker and a chip. Also picked
up two bags of Teriyaki turkey jerky and another of their insulated bags.
The bag is okay as there have been times when I would have liked another
one. But I totally did not need the other two things.

I fared much better at Winco. The only things that I picked up that were
not on my list were two cans of corn, a garlic cheese bread and a few boxed
rice mixes. However, Winco is the kind of place where I try to keep an open
mind. I never know what they might have or what might be super cheap.

Might not be available in all areas but here the demand is for organic and
all stores seem to sell it now. Even Grocery Outlet!

I saw a Facebook post last night that I found to be funny but not in a ha ha
way. Was a link to a video about a Swedish family who ate only organic food
for two weeks. They had not eaten it prior as they couldn't afford it.
They showed a chart with a breakdown of the pesticides used in the
non-organic foods. The family did urine tests before and after.

So what we learned was that the pesticides showed in the urine of everyone
prior. One girl still had a little of one kind of pesticides in her urine
after eating organic. So... What? Yeah. Pesticides and no pesticides. I
could probably have surmised that. What it didn't show was the effect of
those pesticides on the body. Not that I'm saying that I want to eat
pesticides mind you. But the video proved nothing to me at all.

Times have certainly changed here. It's in the bulk section at
Safeway and Whole Foods.

I tend not to buy bulk foods. Especially not something like that. Safeway
had no bulk foods here. Whole Foods does have some.
