Dining solo tonight as E has a meeting. Roasted veggies, homemade pesto and Daiya mozzarella made for a delicious sandwich. The white wine is alcohol free as I’m watching the calories.

I can share some farro with you! (I have 5 big packs at home and 2 - at the country). I've just stocked up on farro on discount (on Monday, in Okey mall).

Haha cool! I’m not sure I’ve even seen it in any of my stores lol, but could be just because I’ve never looked for it.

I only know that in Whole Foods a lot of varieties of grains are sold by weight, including farro (saw it in different vloggers' videos).

Do you have a Sprout's Farmers Market and a Big Lots ? They have lots of variety of whole grains.

No, unfortunately. I bet I can find it. I just never looked for it before. We have a large selection of Bob’s Red Mills products so I could get lucky there.

You should be able to find most grains if you have BRM's products. I have noticed that there are very few firms that do whole food grains and flour in the US.

When I'm in California, I'm very lucky to have a Whole Foods, a Sprouts Farmer's market and a Trader Joe's plus Big lots. I usually manage to buy most of my food there.

Corn on the cob with spread/black pepper.
Courgette & tofu bake with a vegetable salad/vinaigrette.

Sauteed tofu, white rice, and a huge zucchini I steamed slices. So many big seeds! I liked it still
Wish I had Poppys sandwich- craving portabellos! I want them stuffed though. with a mayo-mustard- nooch base and stuffing on top and baked

Bobs has farro. I see it everywhere with whole grains, my discount store, Marcs, (think it's just in Ohio) has a few brands like Roland, they do have a complete rack of all the Bobs products. I would describe farro as between brown rice and barley

I have broccoli, cauliflower and huge slices of zucchini roasting for a curry. I'm gonna put a couple Japanese sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot too, I want to avoid overcooking the veggies, my biggest downfall of making curry

Courgette & tofu bake served with basmati rice and steamed broccoli plus olive oil.
Raspberries & blueberries.

Made a curry with veggies I oven roasted last night, Japanese sweet potatoes, and tempeh. I used Trader Joes green curry sauce--which is vegan and doesn't have cilantro!- for the first time. It's a small jar for $1.99, and I added a half can full fat coconut milk. It made a 5 quart pot of curry with rice noodles! Very very good. Loved the tempeh in this. I'll start using tempeh for more things (and hope TJ's doesn't discontinue that too )
I've got to look up Jamie Olivers curry paste recipes.

Trader Joes discontinued the extra firm tofu and it seems - not 100%- the chocolate cherry soy ice cream

 

[shyvas]

Sliced seitan with steamed courgettes served at room temperature with olive oil and smoked sea salt and tomatoes.
A doughnut peach, plums and apricots.

Yesterday we had Beyond burgers on pretzel rolls for lunch, and for dinner we made pizza using a store-bought sourdough crust, and topping it with sauce, spinach, cheese and Quorn brand cutlets. SO yummy. I also noticed one of the local grocery store chains now carries their own store brand cashew based cheese.

 

[Poppy]

Oh my gosh, I love my air fryer! Last night we had Gardein's Crispy Chick*n patties on sandwiches for dinner, and they were so good! Really crispy! The only thing that isn't cooking as well as I had hoped are actually French fries. I may need to try a few different brands or even try making my own.



(I feel like I post the same picture over and over again because we always try to eat on the porch if the weather is nice. )

I am going to have a big salad for dinner and maybe pickled cucumbers. I am craving all the veggies.
