This meal is incredible. With half your daily fiber needs, low fat and sodium, and a generous helping of protein, you can be sure this is a great addition to a healthy vegan diet (or any healthy diet!). I have been longing to make a dish like this since enjoying the fantastic Moroccan Chicken Salad (sans chicken and egg) at California Pizza Kitchen. After taking a looksie through The Kind Diet, I found a couscous dish with a few similar ingredients. To top it all off, I found the most beautiful organic butternut squash at Sunflower Farmers Market and knew I had to do it justice. I suppose this will do ; )
Time to stop apologizing and start getting my butt in gear people! I'll now be living at home with a beautiful, spacious, well-stocked kitchen and I'm sooo excited.
If we're facebook friends, you may have seen that I finally made my mom vegan food that she thoroughly enjoyed! This is groundbreaking. So I had to share this life changing recipe with you. My horrible ways never cease. I have managed to neglect you darling individuals who care enough to read my blog this summer and it was definitely something I did not anticipate. Let me explain... Once school ended, I started working full time. A week into summer one of my besties flew to CO to spend a week with me. Then I went right back to working full time while she started training for the summer job we once shared. I visited her (and other old friends) often during that two-week period. Once she left to start her job, I started packing up my apartment. I spent my time away from work packing and cleaning and transporting stuff home. Then I moved into another house to house/pet-sit for two weeks. On Friday I left that house, came home, and tomorrow I will go stay with a friend for 3 days so I can work a few more days. Then I'll return home for a couple days, spend a week working in New Orleans, and possibly go back to stay with that friend while I work a couple more weeks. Then it will be a quick transition back home for at least 5 months while I complete my internship/last semester of undergrad : ) Hopefully this explains a little...It's not that I haven't been cooking! I just haven't had the energy to create blog posts, which are unbelievably time-consuming. I feel like I've been a nomad this whole summer.
At the end of this wonderful weekend, I figured I could muster up a bit of energy to share with you my "copy cat" recipe based on a sandwich I often enjoy from the cafe at my work. This sandwich is jam packed with grilled veggie goodness and a delectable red pepper hummus. Perfect for summer, so go ahead and give it a try! The first words I heard as I approached my house yesterday afternoon were "looks like we're having a vegan dinner tonight." This was my brother talking, and I couldn't figure out if he meant I was making dinner, or if my family was simply the bomb dot com. And the winner is...option number two! Okay...so dinner wasn't vegan; but it was vegetarian, which is so generous of my family. My dad found a Giada De Laurentiis recipe similar to (but better than) eggplant parmesan. And because he can't leave a recipe well-enough alone, he added zucchini and portobellos and made it into a veggie lasagna! If you're curious about this recipe...we used 6 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles instead of breadcrumbs and had two layers of veggies. We found that 1 fennel bulb was plenty. Let me know in the comments if you need/want further instruction; I would encourage you to get creative here! But this girl is not complaining...it was phenomenal. Just take a look yourself! But I am well-aware that not every vegan (or aspiring vegan in my case) can be this lucky. Keep reading for my [amateur] tips on maintaining a vegan diet when surrounded by omnivores.
