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.

Greek food is top tier!

 Went on a date to a Greek taverna and it did not disappoint!

Gigantes, Melitzanosalata, Skordalia and lemon potatoes.

The Skordalia was firm like a cheese. Loved it!

Happiness on a plate.

Blood orange margarita. 

Heirloom beans

 Stocked up on Rancho Gordo beans for the apocalypse! I had a gift card and decided to go ahead and get a bunch in case prices go up this year. Everything is so expensive now! I’m so excited to cook with these beans.

Coconut pandan cake

 This cake was delicious. I just used an existing coconut cake recipe and added pandan flavoring.
