What are you eating? - Part 2

[Lamb]

Salt never bloats me, and I eat too much of it.

Well, try being a woman LOL Salt bloats us unfortunately.

 

[Stravinsk]

Breaky today was homemade hash browns, Chinese cabbage, spring onions, some pepitas and almonds. Simple dressing of lemon juice and salt. Mmm.

Egg with cheese for breakfast and decaf coffee.

 

[Stravinsk]

Homemade whole wheat wraps filled with hash browns, cabbage, pepitas, pickle, tomato sauce, lime juice and salt.

Also, coffee with seed milk (almonds, sesame seeds, flax).

My daughter is visiting and wanted blueberry pancakes for breakfast so we made those!

 

[Stravinsk]

I had tomato/lentil soup for lunch: Tomato, lentils, onion, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and a little Indian sugar.

Dinner was unconventional for me. Frozen bananas sprinkled with sugar, cocoa powder and peanut butter as a dip. It was quite satisfying and tasty.

 

[Stravinsk]

Homemade fries from potatoes I grew myself. Steamed first, then added a little oil and a spice mixture of Tamari almonds, salt, yeast flakes, and various other herbs.

I made fries yesterday too! I didn't grow my own potatoes though. I baked my fries and they actually turned out crispy!

Egg and toast for breakfast.

Breaky, lunch today was:

Coffee mix (barley and coffee) with seed milk (almonds, sesame this time), whole wheat toast, lentil/flax scramble with Italian herbs and salt, and Lamb's Quarters (aka pigweed/goosefoot/wild spinach) which grows in my yard.

Got up early to make my husband french toast. We haven't had it since probably summertime so this was a nice treat! So good!

When I made French Toast I always made it with egg. I haven't tried a vegan version of it yet. Perhaps soon.

 

[Stravinsk]

White pasta with falafels, crumbled tofu fried with onions, garlic and chia seeds in water, some pasta sauce, and a small serving of wild spinach (Lamb's quarters) leaves and some seeds of the same.

I was thinking about your vegan french toast...so today I went without the egg/milk mixture. Of course, I don't have vegan butter but I'm sure there is something else you could use that's tasty in place of it?

I have real butter and I also have spray butter. So I put the real butter in the skillet and then sprayed one side of my bread with the spray butter and then put my homemade vanilla in a spoon and ladled it across both pieces of my toast only on one side. That's the side I put onto the skillet first. I sprayed more spray butter on top and when browned I flipped them. I like them crispy and they turned out really tasty!

The egg/milk mix is what gives the toast it's thick/fluffy character. Now I've never made vegan French toast, but the first thing I'd likely try is replacing the egg/milk mix with some good quality almond milk (almond or other nut/seed) and mix in some ground flax. That would at least add thickness to the bread and a whole bunch of vitamins, minerals and essential fats as well. Probably make the seed milk myself, as the store versions tend to be watered down/skimpy.

I don't use vegan butter. It can be found at the supermarket though. Basically it's just oil that has been partly solidified to give it a butter texture.

I was going for taste over texture.

Some homemade vegan sausages with bread this morning.

Sausage main ingredients: soaked lentils, potato, onion, garlic, flax plus spices. Blended, then rolled and cooked in a bit of oil.

Together with a bit of diced tomato, lettuce and lamb's quarters (wild spinach), they made tasty sausage rolls.

 

[Lamb]

Yogurt for breakfast.

 

[Stravinsk]

I marinated some tofu last night and fried it up this morning for breakfast, along with whole wheat toast and some lettuce. Simple start to the day along with some coffee/barley mix a little earlier with seed milk, and a tomato juice concoction I've come to drink regularly.

Pizza!
