Nutritarians in November!

I finally made this. It was so good that my husband ate it for dinner and is taking it to work for lunch, so I now need to cook again today. What a great problem!

This was really quick to put together. I used frozen chopped cauli as a shortcut.

I added extra turmeric (1/2 t):

That sounds good, Austin. I'm always looking to add turmeric to things. So many health benefits.

This has been such a stressful couple weeks at work. More so than usual even. I overslept this morning and didn't have time to throw together my salad so I ate a Dr. McDougall soup for lunch. They aren't the best things I've ever eaten but sure are handy to have around sometimes. Still only about halfway through my lackadaisical preps. Going to get the rest done tonight. Please, someone give me a shove toward the kitchen. I'm going to devote a whole day this weekend to shopping and cooking and prepping. But if I finish prepping the stuff I bought this weekend I'll be set for the rest of this week.

Hi Mihani!

If I were there, I'd nudge you! I am in catch-up mode after the holiday, too. Monday I made cauliflower lentil dal, but the guys liked it too, so it was all gone by end of day yesterday. So I was cooking soup again today. I made a soup from Dr F's Quick and Easy Cookbook: onions, garlic, carrot juice, red lentils, served with a bit of lemon juice and a lot of greens stirred in. It's delicious, and was a quick fix. Yummmm.

Hi Austin, all your dishes sound really yummy.

I have some sort of bug, was really sick yesterday evening through the night, but seem to be okay now. Just super tired and my stomach is upset. I am going to try to run to the office for a couple hours after a bit. I will get grocery delivery since I don't feel up to going to the store. I think toast and vegan yogurt are going to be about the only things I eat today.

Awww - get well soon @Mihani !

I hope you get well soon, Mihani!

Mmm dal sounds good! I think it is time for me to make up another batch of red lentil cauliflower curry.

Get well soon @Mihani

Hi Carla! I should make some of that curry too. I'll put that on my list for next week since I already got groceries.

Thanks for well wishes y'all. It was a very short lived thing. I feel pretty much back to normal this morning. I got a few things for salads and soups on my way home yesterday so today will be prep day. Brought work home so I wouldn't have to go to the office today.

Hey @Mihani ! I am super glad to hear you are feeling better!

Now I want a curry this week, too!

Recipe note: On a "this is not for every day" note, I made the Peanut Butter Cookies from the Dr Fuhrman's Quick & Easy Cookbook this morning for a social gathering that includes other vegans and careful eaters. They were a hit! Well, except for my 13 year old, for whom they are insufficiently sweet. The pickiest eater there at 3 of them. Wow!
Ingredients: cooked green lentils, natural peanut butter, dates, raisins, vanilla extract, baking powder.

Another recipe note: For my lunch salad, I just blended half a peeled cucumber and used that as dressing. Simple, light and delicious.
