After Buddhist groups I usually make Asian food.
So whipped up some vegan Vegetable Soup Dumplings from Trader Joe's. Plus the usual Kimbap I get. Digging into some Dairy-Free Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream.

I'll tell you the base since it isn't visible: baby spinach, kale, and chard. Omega toppings since you can't see that.
Pretty much a vegan seasoned fajita mix with Beyond beef tips with lemony vegan coleslaw dressing and coleslaw mix. I could have whipped out the tortillas, but it's a bit easier on my gut to not do so and I'm not feeling the carbs. Thusly, the coleslaw. Plus Poppi prebiotic soda. Really good!
Coffee ☕ with coconut 🥥 sugar and oat milk (not pictured). Smoothie with pineapple🍍, mango 🥭, apple 🍏 , spinach🌿, and avocado 🥑 , vegan yogurt, and almond milk. Southwest 'JUST' egg burrito 🌯 with guacamole sauce. A pinwheel 🤭 of strawberry 🍓 'Newtons'. Post workout fuel (yesterday). Pre yoga fuel (today).
I wasn't going to go with this dinner today, but I am very happy I did, especially after cleaning the entire Cubbyhole for four hours. Vegan fish, vegan Tartar (from scratch) vegan asparagus, and salt and vinegar crisps (chips 🤭🇺🇸 (dad) 🏴(mom)) Just easier then making fries.
1/2 cup vegan mayo
2 tbsp relish, (I prefer dill relish)
1 tsp dill, fresh chopped or dried.
1 tsp lemon juice (Basically a little less then half of a lemon juiced)
Dash if salt
Dash of pepper
Dash of onion powder
Dash of garlic powder
(Whisk together)
Multigrain bread, Best Foods vegan mayo, a gracious amount of ground pepper, JUST chicken cooked and cooled, Claussen pickle. Pickled beets, spinach. Nekter Pop. Garden of Life vitamins. I usually only take vits every other day (expenses and lack of need).
Vegan nom noms. Just heated it all and braised the chicken in bullion broth. Really delicious!
Skillet 'sparagus (olive oil), Beyond Steak tips, pickled beets alongside a nice glass of wine (which is really cranberry juice because I don't drink). Don't worry I got plenty of carbs earlier today. ~40 minute anything-goes workout, which is preferable on my red moon, rather than confined rules. There was sweat involved though 🙌🏼 According to my contraceptives I've got a few days to go.
Killer Dave's raisin bagel with Violife vegan cream cheese, Morning Star vegan patties with store brand vegan cheese, pickled beats, Cantaloupe, Blue Diamond blueberry almonds, Ocean Spray 100% cranberry juice, Starbucks House blend with organic light brown sugar and Planet Oat oat milk.
Ok well don't get over excited. I am anything, but fluent. 日本語はとても難しいですでもがんばります I also got a free Great Course on Japanese on Prime from book points. Which means going back to the basics and working up again. From English to Japanese that's what it takes, mindful complete repetition. I don't expect to be anywhere soon, but I'm planning on sticking with it. Since they added new content there are now several new levels before the refresh. If you want to know why I am learning it is because I practice Soto Zen Buddhism. I also like JRock 😅. ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Sooo... My family is going out to eat for my brother and his girlfriend's birthday. Typically they are catering to me being vegan at least slightly. I want to make it clear I'm not angry with them, but just a little hurt, that they basically just chose a place with a menu made entirely of meat. Not even a vegetarian option. My mom asked me to find out if they have a vegetarian or vegan option and I said I'd just do it tomorrow. I honestly just don't want to go. I already really feel like the black sheep of the family and now I feel like the lost sheep.
I did end up doing about a 35 minute workout (unstructured because I was feeling a bit sad) so therefore good food. Hokkien noodles with Hoisin Sauce (store bought to save time) also with tofu, orange, green, and red peppers, onion, mushrooms plus a few chili flakes and some garlic powder.
Mediocre Vegan Stroganoff Saturday! Annie's organic vegan mac (cheese packet, almond milk, vegan cream cheese, some extra dairy free cheese) Morning Star meatless crumbles (just a half a cup, but they are there and add a lot more protein), a little Nutritional Yeast on top, and most importantly organic mixed veggies, from frozen. A Poppi Shirley Temple soda too. I'm not always for junk food....but sometimes....😅
Yet another 10/10 from Rainbow Plant Life. I added a few of my own ingredients. Green olives, Follow Your Heart feta, and Balsamic reduction (which is my new addiction). I also forgot the cilantro 😅 I still have some left so I'll add a little in the leftover batch or throw some on top. I did about a 3/4 of the poblano pepper which made it mildly spicy. The recipe is on this page with a few other easy recipes. 20 Minute High Protein Vegan Meals - Rainbow Plant Life https://rainbowplantlife.com/20-minute-high-protein-vegan-meals/
Killer Dave's Bread, crunchy peanut butter, and Modern Milk Omega salad topper. I think it's a fair midnight snack since I'm on my lady time and I worked out today. It was delish with a cup of almond milk.
OMG 🤤! A American classic gone VEGAN! PLUS! I used my creative cooking brain to adjust from a base recipe. Started with this https://avirtualvegan.com/easy-vegan-cheese-sauce/#recipe I basically one and a halfed it. But I also added vegetable bullion because it was a sauce so I made it soupie. Plus lots of pepper and a touch of plant-based cheese (for thickness). Used frozen broccoli though (to stay safe from cyclosporsis, plus easier), but organic. The white wine vinegar made it more mature and chedderie. So it was very improvised, but absolutely delicious. Also thanks to Redditers I went with a silken tofu recipe! And it went so well!
Omg! 🤤😋 The tofu haters are missing out. This was soooo good. So easy to make and vegan. Tossed some mirin, vegan oyster sauce, and soy sauce in with some tofu. Tofu goes on top. YUM! I'm going to have some Kimbap too. 🌱 Great dinner after Buddhist service.
Vegan breakfast of champions: Tofu scramble with nutritional yeast and vegan cheese topped with pico de gallo and guacamole salsa. Raspberries and blueberries. Morning star vegan sausage. Bagel with vegan cream cheese. Coffee with light brown sugar and almond milk. And water today for prime health and hydration.
Japanese (93) has gotten so challenging. Im finding some supplemental stuff, but it's a language that takes time. French (78) is going fairly well just slowly sliding along. It helps to have taken it previously.
