I've been kind of at a loss as to what to post recently, since I quit doing 75 Hard. I always take pictures of my food when I try new recipes just in case I decide to write about it, so I have a ton of food photos on my phone. I always like to see what other people are eating (is that weird?!) so I figured I'd just post them all here.
I do want to mention that the color of some of these makes the food look far less than appetizing--but it's just the lighting in my house. When it's dark outside and there is no natural light, my food looks very oddly-colored!
 |
| Homemade pizza with vegan cheese, green peppers, and olives |
 |
| Tried out an "egg" salad recipe (made with tofu)--tasted good, but wasn't crazy about the texture. I may try it with silken tofu instead. |
 |
| Dinner at Chili Mustard Onions, a vegan restaurant in Detroit. Some sort of pita wrap (too much cumin for my taste) and loaded fries (so so good!) |
 |
| Dessert from Chili Mustard Onions--an oatmeal cream pie from a local vegan bakery |
 |
| Breaded lemon pepper tofu cutlets and asparagus |
 |
| Spicy Peanut Noodle Bowls |
 |
| Roasted tri-color potatoes with garlic |
 |
| Tofu with some sort of Asian sauce (I make a ton of different ones and I can't keep them straight!) with rice and broccoli |
 |
| Noah girlfriend brought me this cookie from a bakery in Ann Arbor--it was SO good! |
 |
| BBQ Pineapple Chickpeas over couscous (recipe book) |
 |
| Pizza with vegan cheese, mushrooms, and banana peppers |
 |
| Trying to eat healthier snacks! I had peppers and cucumbers with hummus for a few days |
 |
| Mulligatawny Soup (from a recipe book) |
 |
| Blueberries were on sale, so I bought a bunch of them--so good! |
 |
| Yes these look gross! This was an attempt at tofu "jerky". It was surprisingly good! |
 |
| Herb Butter Tofu (cookbook recipe) with broccoli and quinoa (it's hidden in there). This actually reminded me a lot of fish; I ended up making tartar sauce for the leftovers, hahaha. |
 |
| "Carrot Cake" oatmeal, when I was craving a hot breakfast. It was okay, but I don't think I'd make it again. |
 |
| Screw making my own jerky--this stuff is AWESOME! Butler Foods sent me this sample when I ordered soy curls. Even my dad liked it! |
 |
| "Meat"balls with spaghetti and vegan parmesan. The meatballs held together well on the outside, but once cutting into them, the inside didn't stay together like I expected. Definitely worth making them again, though--I'll just add a little more binder. |
 |
| Seitan "turkey"--my first attempt at seitan--vegan mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce |
 |
| Tofu Parmesan with a new recipe for vegan mozzarella. The tofu was fantastic, but the mozzarella was made with coconut milk and it didn't go well together. I like the cashew cheese much better! |
 |
| My first time using soy curls! A make-up-as-you-go-along Asian sauce with peppers and pineapple, served over rice. This reminded me a lot of something you would get at Panda Express--junk food take-out is so good! |
 |
| Pizza with vegan cheese (this was the same mozzarella I used on the tofu parmesan--I wasn't crazy about the pizza because of the cheese, unfortunately. But I made up for it in olives, haha. Black olives are so addicting! |
My daughter has been vegan for 6 years and we've tried a lot of recipes. One of our favorites has been chickpea salad (instead of the "egg" salad with tofu). It's kind of a play on tuna salad, and it's delicious. Vegan mayo, mustard, dill pickle, bell pepper, onion, a little lemon juice and mush up the chickpeas, I usually do 2 or 3 pulses in the food processor, giving it kind of a flaky consistency. Play with the ingredients until you like it.
ReplyDeleteThese posts always make me wish I liked to cook!! Yum.
ReplyDeleteI love when people share meal ideas. It gives me some ideas for myself. I make a chickpea salad. Add turmeric for color and it reminds you of egg salad.
