Tempeh burger

 Scorpion burgers (tempeh) again but this time I added @traderjoes Zhoug sauce. Delicious!

Pumpkin seed pesto spaghetti

 Yummy!

Scorpion Burger

 Re-creating the scorpion burger from @nativefoodscafe. Blackened tempeh, avocado, arugula, lettuce, carrots and red onion on a whole wheat bun with chipotle sauce. It was delicious and came very close to the original!

Ciao Bella

 I made the “Ciao Bella” burger from the @nativefoodscafe cookbook. I cooked the portobello mushrooms in the Airfryer. I omitted the seitan but added the homemade pumpkin seed pesto, Italian tomato salad and grilled onions. It was delicious!

Airfryer

 I loooove making potatoes and sweet potatoes in the airfryer. 

 

Chia overnight oats

 I have been making this a lot for breakfast so I can improve my blood sugar. I had bloodwork done recently, and my A1c was higher than normal. I love eating this for breakfast. I always prepare it with coconut cashew yogurt, maple syrup, soy milk, cinnamon, nuts, seeds and frozen fruit. This one here has added lemon zest and a pecan praline topping. Yummy!

Silk Road Sesame Noodles

 I made the cold sesame noodles from the cookbook SILK ROADS by Anna Ansari. It was delicious. You’re supposed to eat them cold but my noodles were still steaming and I couldn’t wait! 

Seed crackers

 I tried grinding up a mixture of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, chia, hemp and flax) for my morning oatmeal to get some extra nutrients. I made a big batch and decided to use some to make crackers in my Airfryer. I mixed the seed powder with some boiling water, olive oil, salt and tapioca starch until the seeds got thick and gloopy, then I spread it into a parchment paper in my Airfryer. Cooked for about 8 minutes per side. I broke them up and had some with avocado and bagel seasoning. The crunch is amazing. Really delicious and full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, good fats and some protein. 

Miang Kham

 Thai style Miang Kham, one bite wraps with fresh ingredients and a flavorful sauce. In Thailand they use betel leaf for the wraps but I used romaine. Green leaf lettuce would be good too. The whole point is to wrap the ingredients with some sauce in a leaf, fold it up to pop in your mouth in one bite! The ingredients are: green onion, lime flesh, jalapenos and carrots. I wish I had fresh ginger, mint and cilantro. Also toasted coconut and roasted peanuts. The sauce I veganized: soybean paste, mushroom soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, agave syrup, toasted coconut, roasted peanuts, red onion and rhizome powder. 

Andersen’s split pea soup

 Omg the split pea soup recipe by @peasoupandersens is delicious! I topped mine with vegan Parmesan, vegan bacon bits and croutons! I used Rancho Gordo split peas and they were perfect. Tip: instead of straining the soup at the end, I just puréed it in my blender. 

Thai lunch.

 Just a couple yummy dishes from a Thai restaurant. Spicy eggplant with tofu and spicy mint noodles.

 And Japanese green tea after lunch.

Vegan enchilada casserole

 Inspired by a video of Rebbie and Latoya Jackson making enchiladas for the Jackson family. It was adorable. Enchilada casserole with veggies and black beans. Veggies I used: red and green peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, Mexican squash, kale and corn. Topped with homemade sauce, vegan cheese and @traderjoes almond chipotle dip and salsa. Yummy!

My go to salsa. Toast in a pan: 10 dried chile de arbol, one garlic clove, and a chunk of onion until slightly charred. Add to a blender with one can of diced tomatoes (you can use a couple of big fresh tomatoes), lime juice, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. 

Good tea and food.

 Just some random pics!

Pizza made with Trader Joe’s garlic and herb dough. Follow your heart cheese.

My mom’s Thai papaya salad (som tum)

Delicious open face sandwich: German seed and grain bread, almond chipotle dip, tofurky, fyh cheese, avocado and tomato.

My aunt brought back teas from Asia. I love all of them!

Vegetable and jackfruit vindaloo.

 

Recipe from Vegan Richa’s book. I love this recipe. I dry roast the spices then make the paste which has lots of garlic, chili and vinegar. I used hot red chili powder. I airfried the jackfruit first before adding it to the pot.
