Lentil noodle soup and Cuppa Cuppa Cake


 Two things! Lentil and noodle soup made from leftover Moroccan veggie stew. Dolly’s Cuppa Cuppa cake with vegan ice cream! Unreal. It was delicious. I didn’t have plain vanilla ice cream so I ate it with chocolate chip cookie dough. I’m not mad! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹






Recipe:

A cuppa flour (self rising or add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder!)

A cuppa sugar (or be a wimp like me and use 1/2 to 3/4 lol)

A cuppa fruit cocktail with the juice (I used light syrup)

Mix and add to greased pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly!

Thank you Gotham Greens!

 So happy to eat salad greens that are safe from parasites! I made homemade croutons too!





RIP Sweet Dolly

 So sad that we lost a legend. She still had so much more life to live. She will be remembered for her humanitarian efforts and of course her music and lovely self.  I had to pick up some of her cake mixes. Looking forward to making them.

Craving satisfied.

 I was craving a fresh baked hot cookie on top of cold ice cream for days now and I finally had it tonight. I made a small batch of vegan chocolate chip cookies in my airfryer and topped a little bowl of @benandjerrys non dairy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Yummy!

Jam Cake

 Got this recipe for marmalade cake that was posted by @lavenderandlovage . I veganized it by using vegan yogurt for the eggs and vegetable oil for the butter and of course soymilk. Moist and tender and sweet with a light jammy flavor. I only had a bit of marmalade left so I added apricot and lingonberry jam as well. I brushed the top with melted apricot jam. πŸ°πŸ«–

 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. πŸ«–☕️πŸ’•

Soup & Sandwich

 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.

Tea oracle cards.

 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.

Bayo beans

 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! πŸ˜‹

Jerk marinade and teatime

 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.

Infused agave syrup

 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.
