Curry Supper


I made the Everything But the Kitchen Sink curry recipe from La Dolce Vegan and had the soup as a side (very thick by now) with some brown rice - it was spicey but good!

Snack Time


Have a friend over for exercises tonight followed by supper so won't be eating till quite late & needed a little something something to keep me going! I grabbed the leftover black beans from yesterdays salad, added some capers & pine nuts & a bit more of the dressing from yesterday - it was scrum!

PS Sorry my fork keeps appearing in my pics!! What can I say? I'm eager to eat!

Cauliflower Red Lentil Soup....mmmm


Decided to make a soup to take into my first day in office in 6 years!! Have ordered a bento and tiffin box but they're not here yet so thought a flask of soup would be a good plan. After sadly burning my first attempt (Butternut Squash Ginger soup - smelt fab prior to incinerating so I will try again soon) - I made an old faithful from La Dolce Vegan - Cauliflower Red Lentil. It was delicious, though almost more of a dahl than a soup. This is fab as the recipe makes 2 large portions so am going to use the rest as a side for my dinner with a friend this eve (currently making a curry for the main so had better make this post quick in case it suffers the fate of yesterdays soup!) The pic doesn't do this justice!

Winter Salad with La Dolce Vegan Dressing




Threw veggies from the fridge together and it turned out soooooo good which prompted me finally to start a blog about what I eat as a new vegan with a borderline food obsession....




I layered the plate like so.....

Spinach Leaves
Grated carrots
Grated beetroot
Finely sliced jerusalem artichokes
Chopped celery
Black Beans
Capers
Chopped Almonds

And dressed with the dressing for Wolfies Pepporoni Pasta Salad from La Dolce Vegan by the fabulous Sarah Kramer
