I’ve been playing around with different new foods and flavors since going back to Vegan. Knowing that this will probably be the last time I actually switch over, I decided to really give it my all and discover which foods I like the most.
Dinner the other night came in the form of Tempeh- which I really do not know how to cook! I read a ton of tips and instructions online but I think I still didn’t cook it properly. It had a weird taste, despite being doused in delicious Peanut Sauce and sauteed. I’m probably just not used to it, but I had so much leftovers that I ate this meal for lunch for three days!
I created my own “bento” using steamed veggies, brown rice, pad thai noodles, tempeh and avocado. Overall, the flavors work well together but without the avocado, the tempeh flavor would have been way too powerful.
For dessert, I made my personal favorite smoothie- Sunwarrior Raw Vegan Chocolate Protein Powder, Banana, Almond Milk, Peanut Butter and Banana. My own spin on the Chocolate Elvis!
One thing that I’ve become obsessed with…
Fresh Spring Rolls! I purchased the wrappers from our local grocery and taught myself how to wrap them! I love cramming all kinds of random things in these guys…
The setup is quite extensive… a bowl of water to dip the wraps in, the package of wraps, sliced zucchini, fresh avocado, a mound of raw spinach, and a bag of Organic Broccoli Slaw! Some days, I add mango, cucumber, etc.
I couldn’t resist what I found in WholeFoods the other day and HAD to buy one! It was every bit as delicious as I hoped and the chocolate melted in my mouth. The only complaint I would have is that it was huge and the pretzels were sort of hard to eat and scratched my mouth.
Otherwise, it was a gooey, chocolaty delicious mess of awesome.
Aaaand here’s a sneak peak at my latest project…
