Yesterday I had chickpeas + another serving of lentil stew poured over ‘spiced’ brown rice- with leafy greens mixed in, alongside pistachios, chilly flakes, Dijon mustard and tahini. For dessert: a ‘mashed banana mix’ (with dates, dried berries, pistachios, almond butter, tahini, cinnamon and dried coconut flakes) plus a small bowl of dried figs that had been soaked overnight, with oats and tahini mixed in. It was all very nice.
Plant based chestnut and mushroom/onion etc pasties made in the af served with leftover
scalloped baked potates and a white cabbage slaw with avocados/walnuts and Dijon/lemon/evo dressing.
Breyer`s oat vanilla flavoured ice cream which was nice.
Last night I had a ‘large-salad-as-main-dish’ dinner: I just mixed the ingredients I had at hand- including ‘spiced’ brown rice as ‘special (unusual) guest’ for the salad. Alongside the brown rice, the salad had leafy greens, onions, baby potatoes, beetroots, diced tomatoes, herbs, cucumbers, carrots, lentils, avocado, chilly peppers, olives, green peas, pistachios, dried barberries and raisins. To dress the salad, I poured blended lemon, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, tahini, nutritional yeast, white ground pepper and dried chilly pepper flakes . It was an interesting ‘medley’ of flavors, colors and textures (photo below). I have lots of leftover salad, so my dinner tonight is already sorted out.
For dessert: I had a persimmon + a bowl of banana mixed with pomegranate arils. Delicious.
Friday night was pizza night with fresh chopped jalapenos, green onions, green olives, Field Roast Mexican sausage, cheez shreds.
Last night was spaghettinin and meatballs with added onion, garlic, chili peppers, mushrooms to the sauce and I picked up a pumpernickel loaf while I was out and we a wedge of that to soak up the extra sauce.
Yesterday I had more ‘hearty-salad-as-main-dish’ - a mix of many ingredients (including leafy greens, onions, baby potatoes, carrots, olives, lentils, chickpeas, avocado, spiced brown rice, chilly peppers, nuts and dried berries); the dressing was a mix of blended lemon, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, tahini and nutritional yeast. Photo below - it was delicious! Yesterday I fasted the whole day up until the evening, so I had about two thirds of the bowl for dinner. Will have more salad tonight.
