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!

Vegan Red Beans and Rice

This is my favorite local food. Since going vegan I don't eat it a lot, since I can't order it at restaurants because they are full of meat. It's actually really easy to make, and is super tasty. Everyone has their own family recipe, it seems, for red beans. You will find so many people using different ingredients to make them taste amazing. This is just my take on red beans and rice, New Orleans style, without the meat. Enjoy! Variation 1: the easy way Ingredients: 2 cans no salt added red kidney beans, drained 4 stalks celery, chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 tap kosher salt flakes Directions: Throw everything in the pot except the beans and cook until soft. Add beans and a little water and cook until thoroughly heated. Take a hand blender and puree 1/2 the pot until smooth. Mix together and serve with rice. Variation 2: the long version Ingredients: 1 package ...

Return Of The King Marathon!

And then there's The End Of All Things... The third movie has very little eating and much more fighting. We started off with Gollum eating another raw fish, so I brought the tofu with seaweed back out. Lembas, the Third! This was the peanut butter based one and it was fabulous! When the riders from Helm's Deep reach Isengard, the hobbits are sitting there eating, drinking, and smoking all of Saruman's wares... So we had hummus, carrots, and celery! We drank some @adagioteas fandom blend Pride and Prejudice tea to honor the fallen at Helm's Deep... It was delicious! Then we come to the truly memorable meal that I've dubbed Denethor's Dinner Of Doom: grapes, tomatoes, wine (we drank cranberry juice), and chicken (@noevilfoods )... This has got to be one of the most heart wrenching moments in the movie (very different from the books BTW) and I love it! Eat those tomatoes with grim determinatio...

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! ...
