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 determination!
A lot more death and destruction happens, gollum throws away their last lembas (I ate some to honor the loss) and then we don't eat anything at all until we're back in the Shire and Sam and Rosie get married! A true returning to the beginning of this tale.
That's the end, folks! Thank you for following along with me! And a huge thank you to Nate Crowley who came up with this mad idea! 

Things I would change next time: 
*smaller portion sizes! I've been eating leftovers all we'll and I've still got stew and four pieces of peanut butter lembas left. 
*plan more breaks! We planned three each movie, but took about 12... It took us double the time the films run to actually finish them. Which leads me to...
*Spread those movies out! We did it in 2 days instead of 1, but next time I would do one movie per day, just to make the cooking easier.

Overall, this was the most fun I've had in months! 100% will do this again!

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 ...

Tofu Chickpea Mash

I've been trying for ages to figure out a vegan substitute for egg salad/tuna salad/chicken salad, and nothing ever seems to taste how I want it. I have, however, discovered the wonderful world of tofu mash and chickpea mash sandwiches... And they are so fantastic! Yesterday I decided to combine the two and it tasted great! This would work well on a sandwich, on rice cakes (which is how I ate it), or as a dip (if you purée it instead of mashing with a fork or potato masher). Enjoy the recipe! Ingredients 1 block extra firm tofu, drained but not pressed 1 can low sodium chickpeas, drained 1/4 cup vegan mayo 2 tsp brown mustard 1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning 1 tbsp dried dill weed 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Throw everything into a large bowl and wash with a potato masher. If you want to make it a dip, throw it in a blender. This makes about four cups, so it will last you a while or be great to make finge...

Coconut Curry Rice

Coconut Curry Rice! Hello everyone! Long time no post, I know! It has been a super crazy fall and the year is startlingly almost over. I have a super crazy week coming up, and I'm currently under the weather, so I decided to do some cooking since I didn't want to go out in the rain. I had some coconut milk I needed to use in the fridge, I've been craving curry, and I needed to use up some things in the freezer, so I decided to meal prep for this week since I'm going to be super busy. This is the end result! Ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 large white onion 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup frozen corn 1 can bamboo shoots 1 package of extra firm tofu, diced 3 green onions 1 cup coconut milk 2 @edwardandsons curry cubes 2 cups dry basmati rice Garlic powder to taste Salt to taste Directions: I basically cooked the onions in olive oil, threw everything else into the pot with a bunch of water, brought it to a boil, then simmered for 20 minutes. Really super ea...
