Leftovers: bakes goodies

May 02, 2017






Another week's passed another opportunity (or more a need) to clean the refrigerator and make the 'leftover recipe'. I have to say that couple times doing that I prepared something so yummy I keep doing it till this day. 
I'm only giving the exact numbers of ingredients just to help those who prefer having it, but you can use everything you have in a quantity you have it and mix it with other veggies or anything you want. 


These days I try to cook HCLF (High Carb Low Fat plant based diet) so I do not use any kind of old in my recipe but if you prefer it the old fashioned way just add oil to the bowl with potatoes and chickpeas with spices and also to the dressing instead of the water (or half water, half oil)








INGREDIENTS



  • 1 cup of rice
  • 1 tomato
  • handful of cucumber slices


VEGGIES FROM THE OVEN -

  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 1 potato
  • sweet paprika
  • hot paprika
  • curry
  • salt and pepper

TAHINI DRESSING -

  • 1 teaspoon tahini paste
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 garlic clove 



INSTRUCTIONS


Once you prepare all of the needed ingredients the next thing to do is to preheat the oven to 360℉ and cook the rice. 
Drain chickpeas and mix them in a bowl with curry and salt and pepper.
Cut the potatoes into and mix it with sweet and hot paprika and salt and pepper.
Put both potato and chickpeas in the oven. Depending from the oven and size of potatoes the time till it's ready can vary but it should take about 20 minutes. Just check if the potatoes are soft once in awhile.

Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small jar and shake it till it's nice and creamy. 

Arrange it all in the bowl and enjoy!

Basil pesto

April 23, 2017








Today I'm gonna share my favorite pesto recipe you can use in plenty various dishes starting from pesto pasta to just dipping your veggies in or spreading on a panini or just a basic sandwich. 

As a chesse addict for years it took me awhile to get used to recipe without parmesan and edit it to perfection but now I can't be happier about it. Of course if you're not necessarily into following the rules and measurements play with it a little to create the best option for you. 


If you ever get a bit bored with it but still have pesto cravings just choose different oil, nuts and add nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste.








Whether you're using blender, food processor or more old fashion method it will always end up equally delicious!








INGERDIENTS



  • 3 garlic cloves
  • one basil tree (about two handfulls) 
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tbls of vegetable oil 
  • 1 tbls sunflower seeds
  • optional: nutritional yeast


INSTRUCTIONS


What you need to do is basically throw all of the ingredients to the food processor and wait for pesto to prepare itself.


Just like any other recipe so far it's very flexible so you can use whatever oil you have at your home and add spices of your choice to make it different every time. What I got here is a base that is amazing even by itself. 



















banana

Quick and easy everyday breakfast

April 11, 2017










One of my favorite and at the same time easiest breakfast I make for myself aka the sandwich with fruit and almond butter. The recipe is also very flexible since you can use whatever kind of bread you like and spread it with a nut butter of your choice, bought or homemade.


Depending on the season you can always get whatever fruit you prefer and have at home at the time. Whenever I use banana I like to add something a bit more sweet-sour like berries or an apple.






Ingredients


  • almond butter 
  • bread slices
  • raspberries
  • banana


Instructions


I don't think that part of a post is much needed here but here you go. Spread the nut butter on bread slices and add seasonal fruit (in my case raspberries and banana) on top.









avocado

4 ingredient fake chocolate mousee

April 11, 2017













My obsession with avocados started many years ago when I first started them not knowing yet what veganism was. Below you'll find a recipe for a quick, guilt-free dessert you can eat basically anytime you want.
I was never good with measurements when it comes to cooking so it makes this recipe even more fun. You can use whatever milk you wish (or have in your fridge at the moment), anything you'd like to put on top of it from granola to any kind of fruit you have or is available during that time in year and whatever sweetener (vanilla extract, stevia, syrup) or none at all if like me you aren't the biggest fun of sweet treat, even though I realize I'm in a minority here.




Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoons plant milk (almond, rice, soy, oat, hemp, coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon of maple or agave syrup
  • for serving: fresh strawberries 



Instructions



Just through our four ingredient in a food blender, processor and serve it with fresh fruit on top
