Finally enjoying afternoon tea during afternoon tea week! I made two different tea sandwiches: vegan cream cheese and chive and vegan ham, cheese, Dijon and sprouts. For sweet, @keebler double stuffed EL Fudge cookies and homemade date cake. Tea choice is @harneytea Malachi McCormick. 🫖☕️💕
I’m really craving fresh vegetables in a sandwich but since we can’t have lettuce or anything like that I got some @wild_about_sprouts alfalfa sprouts which seem to be safe. I also put garlic sauce, hummus, avocado and sauerkraut. I used @the_tofurky_company ham and @followyourheart American cheese. All vegan! The soup is @melizcooks Turkish vermicelli soup. So good.
I saw someone using an oracle deck with different herbs on each card to make tea and I LOVED that idea. I was going to buy the deck which is around $28 but I thought, why not make my own? I made my own tea oracle deck using all herbs in my collection. Took me about two or three hours working on them for little bits during the past couple days. So to make tea time more interesting I may pull three or four cards at random and then make that tea.
I was craving rice and beans so bad I woke up early and put @rancho_gordo Bayo beans in the crockpot to cook for five hours, made a batch of rice and fresh salsa. Yummy! 😋
I just kind of freestyled this meal. I tossed white potatoes, sweet potatoes, green peppers, onions and tofu with a jerk style marinade from the @nativefoodscafe cookbook and put the Dutch oven pot in the oven with a lid for an hour. Looks good. I did add extra stuff to the marinade: black pepper, salt, onion powder, cumin, thyme, sugar and paprika. Also bonus tea time today.
Made a big pot of caramelized onion and peppers pasta. Having lunch with a delicious cup of jujube, ginger barley iced tea. It’s so good. Sweet and refreshing!
Having some jasmine green tea with infused agave syrup for some heat and anti-inflammatory benefits. The agave was mixed with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne and black pepper for a day before using. This recipe was 1/4 cup agave and 1/2 tsp each spice.
