Shop My Pantry: Day Three

Shop my pantry: day three has been a success! Ready to see the amazing food?

Breakfast was the rest of the Sabra garlic hummus and the end of a container of quake Quaker rice cakes. Used up two things this meal: score! I've still got another container of hummus and more rice cakes, so I'll probably be eating this again in a day our two.

Lunch was made of leftover white beans and curry rice from last night. It was definitely an interesting blend of spices (Indian and Creole flavorings have a few similarities, but all really different beasts when it comes down to it.) I loved the combo, and would totally eat it again soon.

Dinner: 2 vegan spicy chick'n patty sandwiches on sourdough bread. I'm not the hugest fan of Boca burgers, but their chick'n is really quite delicious! Also, I'm really loving this nuco coconut mayo I found at whole foods. A little vinegary, but awesome. Great texture! The mustard is the 365 brand and super vinegary... It works well on burgers, but I'm probably not going to go out of my way to get it again. The ketchup is just regular old ketchup nothing special.

Dessert: dairy free chocolate halo top.

Go to the store.

Buy this.

Eat it.

You will thank me.

That's it for today!

Tomorrow will be interesting... My family is going out to eat and I'm not sure how I'm going to calculate my meal into my no spending budget. I'm not even sure what they will have at the restaurant that I can easy, since it is a seafood restaurant. It will definitely be an adventure! ... I'll let you know what happens!

Tempeh Protein Noodles

I have been making large batches of food and eating them throughout the week to cut down on my time spent cooking on a daily basis. This is something I made the other day and love! Ingredients 1 package Edamame mung bean noodles 1 package black bean noodles 1 package Tempeh 1/3 cup textured vegetable protein 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter 2 tbsp Sesame seeds 2 tbsp kimchi 1 tbsp Chili oil 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp Bragg's liquid aminos 1.5 tbsp Sriracha Directions • Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. • in the same pot, mix the noodles with the other ingredients (it works best if you add the powdered peanut butter and tvp first so they are easier to mix once you add the liquids. • Serve with extra sriracha for a spicier dish, or add a fruit salad for some sweetness to contrast with the spicy saltiness. Makes 8 servings at about 310 calories

Creamy Lemon Garlic Pasta

Well, I'm back with another recipe, this one full of garlic! Ingredients: •Cooked pasta (enough for about 4-6 people. I used mafaldine) •Baby Spinach (I used about 2 ounces, but 4-6 oz would be better) •10 cloves of garlic, chopped •13.6 oz can of unsweetened coconut milk •2 tbsp olive oil •3-4 tbsp fresh oregano •1/2 tbsp dried basil •pinch of salt •lemon juice to taste (I used about 1 tsp fresh) •garlic powder Directions: 1. Cook pasta and set aside 2. In a pot saute garlic 3. Add coconut milk and stir until fully incorporated 4. Add in oregano, basil, and spinach. Simmer until spinach is cooked 5. Add rest of the sauce ingredients 6. Remove from heat. Add pasta. Serve with your favorite vegan meat substitute. (I used seitan chorizo, but gardein meatless meatballs, Boca crumble, beyond sausage, or TVP would all be good)

Fellowship Of The Ring Eat-athon

Fellowship Of The Ring Eat-athon, Part One! (We are pacing ourselves with small portions... It's the reason for the half apples or cupcakes!) We begin with a hobbit chomping into a cake! We started by eating half of a vanilla cranberry cupcake! And there's a number of times tea is made in the Hobbiton, so go ahead and make a whole pot (we drank this lovely Earl Grey blend from @adagioteas fandom blends) Bilbo Baggins turns 111! So we eat the other half of the cupcake! Merry eats an apple to look nonchalant while stealing fireworks with Pippin. After seeing some elves in the forest, Sam can't sleep on the hard ground and eats some bread in the middle of the night... My kind of hobbit! Then, as we make it to Bree, we see Peter Jackson take a huge bite out of a carrot... We had baby carrots😂 Pippin's infamous Second Breakfast scene gives us another opportunity to eat an apple! ...
