Oatmeal
My sometimes breakfast on cold mornings. Plain instant oatmeal, a banana and pure maple syrup drizzled on top.
Dining Out – 5 Guys Burgers And Fries
Attempting to stick with our way of eating while dining out locally in the Wichita, Kansas area.
Was pleasantly surprised to find 5 Guys Burgers And Fries offered a veggie sandwich. It’s not a veggie burger but just vegetables on a bun. Lettuce, onions, mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes I believe. I wouldn’t go here again just to get this sandwich but it’s nice to know they have it if I ever find myself eating here again at a friends choice as was the case.
Tofu Garden Scramble
I used this tofu scramble recipe. When the tofu was near done I added some veggies to the pan. Once all was done I placed it atop a bed of hash-browns.
Dining Out – TJ’s Burger House
Attempting to stick with our way of eating while dining out locally in the Wichita, Kansas area.
Veggie burger at TJ’s Burger House comes with fried mushrooms and onions. On the menu it says the Veggie Burger is a “protein patty” whatever that is. Maybe not the best veggie burger but it was good.
Damn Good Cookies
Notes: Made from an Engine 2 recipe. I don’t know about “Damn Good” as they are named but we thought they were pretty good considering what they were.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup raw almonds or cashews
1/2 Cup raw walnuts
6 large dates pitted (we bought in bag)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water (if needed for texture)
3 tablespoons non-dairy dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoons old fashioned oats
Directions:
In a food processor or blender, blend the nuts until crumbled uniformly. Transfer the nut mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Add the dates, vanilla and water to the food processor and blend until mixture is paste-like. Scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times and blend again.
Add the nut mixture to the date mixture and blend together. Add chocolate chips and oats and pulse the mixture until blended to your liking or mix in the chips and oats by hand.
Press balls of the mixture firmly into a teaspoon. Free the dough from the spoon’s shape and place on serving plate. Refrigerate if not eating right away.
Mutant Tomato
Some sort of mutant tomato I’ve grown. Looks like maybe the Roma and the Cherry mated.
Cherry Tomatoes And Jalapenos
I love snacking on cherry and grape tomatoes along with home-made pickled jalapenos.
Veggie Fried Brown Rice
Sometimes I make this with fresh veggies and other times frozen. I’ll season with soy and sometimes basil and crushed red pepper while cooking. When stir-frying rice it helps if the rice is cold prior to cooking.
