Last night, while K was kept busy with a meeting at school, and after I hit the gym, I came home to cook up some of the tasty & organic veg we found at the St. Gilles market Monday night.
I made a big batch of apple sauce, which I actually decided to leave a little chunkier than the last time I made it. I threw in two big sticks of Cinnamon and added the juice of half a lemon. I piled fresh strawberries on top of about 1 cup of the apple sauce for a quick breakie this morning.
Apple SauceI also gave it my best in recreating a couple of K's signature dishes. They, of course, didn't end up tasting much like his, but their flavours were just what I wanted after a bland-ish stirfry on Monday night. The Aubergine Dip was deep and smoky, while the Chickpea/Spinach dish was hot and spicy.
Tabbouleh Salad I have invited one of my new students to have lunch with me today. She is new to our school environment, so I thought a little bonding session over vegan food might be fun for her. In addition to some hummus, apples and rice cakes, I made a tabbouleh salad with couscous and....an avocado chocolate pudding! I can't wait to see if she likes the treats.
Thanks everyone for their comments about my future wedding dress....I promise to post photos and let you have a say in what looks best on this vegancowgirl.
