Roasted Bell Bepper Hummus and Savoury Chia Crackers! This time I made a tahini-free hummus, recipe loosely adapted from here, and it was still surprisingly yummy!
For the basic hummus, I used 240g cooked chickpeas (or about 1 can drained), a handful of parsley, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1-2 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp lemon juice, a few cracks of black pepper and black sea salt (not pictured) and water.
 
I made only a small batch this time, and divided the basic hummus into 4, so that I'll get some of each green, yellow, red and basic.

I added about 1/4 roasted medium bell pepper (with skin) to each part of the hummus. The basic one turned out a bit green because of the parsley :x
Other ingredients added into each one:
Red - chili flakes, cayenne pepper
Yellow - turmeric, curry powder
Green - salt free seasoning

And I made crackers for the first time! There was a box of Carr's Table Water Crackers at home a while back and it was SO ADDICTIVE. Like it's just made of flour and water?! :O Anyway this didn't turn out exactly the same, but still very satisfying!
Surprized to find that they puff up, even without any rising agent! Probably should have poked holes, but they look so cute and puffy ☺

I used about half the dough for this amount, the rest is in my freezer! Perhaps some sundried tomato crackers next time?

Yum yum. Great as a snack or appetiser! The sesame seeds really add a fragrant, nutty aroma ☺



Oil-Free Roasted Bell-Pepper Hummus

Ingredients
  • 240g cooked chickpeas (or about 1 can drained)
  • a handful of parsley
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • a few cracks of black pepper and black sea salt
  • water (enough to blend until smooth)
  • 1 medium red, yellow or green bell pepper, or just 1/4 of each if you're dividing up the hummus like I did
  • Suggested additional ingredients:
  • Red - chili flakes, cayenne pepper
    Yellow - turmeric, curry powder
    Green - salt free seasoning
Method
  1. Roast the bell peppers on a lightly greased baking sheet at 180 deg C for about 20-30 mins, or until slightly charred at the edges.
  2. Blend all other ingredients well, adding water when necessary.
  3. Blend in the roasted bell peppers (with skin) and any other ingredients. Enjoy with crackers, falafel or raw veggies!

Basic Savoury Chia Crackers

Ingredients
  • 150g wholewheat flour + more for dusting
  • 100ml water
  • 1 level tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • salt to taste (I used 2 cracks black sea salt)
  • dried parsley flakes
Method
  1. Mix all ingredients together. Knead with hands until a dough is formed.
  2. Flour a clean surface (and your hands and the rolling pin; it sticks to everything!) and roll out the dough, until as thin as possible (about 3-4 mm).
  3. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out shapes. If you don't want the crackers to puff up, poke holes with a fork. To add seeds/dried herbs on top, dab a bit of water on them first so they'll stick.
  4. Bake at 180 deg C on a lightly greased baking sheet for about 8 mins.
Sandwich Paradise! Literally everything in my fridge and cupboards on bread. ^^ I ate everything for lunch :x though it was after a bikram yoga class. So.. ._. Anyway I was surprisingly satiated for the rest of the afternoon, until dinner! :O Which rarely (read: never) happens, especially when I go for yoga in the morning. It's like I can eat the whole house, even though I'm not hungry, but just 'itchy mouth'. Okay enough about my eating habits, more about these open-faced sandwiches! ☺
➀ Green bell pepper hummus, roasted orange maple spiced chickpeas (recipe below), black sea salt
➁ Raw tahini, cinnamon, strawberry, fig, coconut flakes 

It was my first time roasting chickpeas and I'm surprised at how crunchy they can get! The orange taste and sweetness is mild, but it still makes a great, healthy (albeit, heaty) snack! ☺

➂ Red bell pepper hummus, chia crackers, black sesame, black pepper
➃ Yellow bell pepper hummus, dried mulberries, dates, black tahini

➄ Yellow bell pepper hummus, alfalfa sprouts, red bell pepper, nutritional yeast, parsley
➅ Unsalted peanut butter, blueberries, cacao nibs

➆ Black tahini, pumpkin & beetroot falafel
➇ Peanut butter, banana, spicy chocolate ganache, hemp hearts, chia seeds, mint

This is what I call Anyhow Wholewheat Bread. Lols. It's actually not as big as it looks in previous pictures! This is a yeast bread, made with 3 basic ingredients - flour, yeast, water. And cinnamon (yesiaddittoeverything). It turned out surprisingly well this time! I've actually started making yeast bread 4 years ago, and have used a similar recipe. And sometimes it fails really badly LOL. Like I add too many ingredients to it - carrots, bananas, and other moist stuff. But now I know that those additions should just be used in quick breads (made with baking powder)!
 
And this is 'Anyhow' because I didn't bother proffing the yeast or checking whether it was alive (it was a new packet). Most recipes also call for some sugar when proofing, as food for the yeast, but this turned out fine without!
 
Most of the time my breads turn out too moist in the middle, but this wasn't. In fact, it was a little dry. :x Anyway it's the best result of all my years of yeast bread making. And I think that it's because I did the following:
1. Leave the bread to cool overnight, before cutting - it's much easier to cut and the extra moisture evaporates
2. Use a good brand of yeast & store opened packets in the refrigerator/freezer - this time I used red Star Quick Rise Instant Dry Yeast
3. Bake in a small loaf tin - more for the prettiness, because I don't really like the look of flat loafs!
4. Let it rise enough, especially for the second rise
5. Leave out moist ingredients
6. Use more yeast - maybe this wasn't necessary
7. make sure the water isn't too hot - the yeast will die
 
I used Waitrose Organic Strong Wholewheat Bread Flour this time, but usually I use Bob's Red Mill Stoneground Spelt Flour. And the flour is EXPIRED. >:( I bought it from Cold Storage Vivo and I didn't check the date - Sept 2013. Okay, almost expired. But there's like sticky things on the sides of the packet and I do not want to know what they are. Eww the more I think about them the more grossed out I get. So I have to sift the flour and check for unidentifiable clumps. Trust in Cold Storage shattered -_-
I still use it because I hate wasteing and always try to salvage whatever I can. Oh well. No food poisoning anyway.

The bread is so perfectly sliced ♡-♡ (lols self praise).
 
 
Anyhow Wholewheat Bread
Makes 1 small loaf (3.3 x 6 inches, bought from Daiso)
 
Ingredients
  • 250g wholewheat flour + more for dusting
  • 2 tsp instant yeast, quick rise is best
  • water, slightly warm to touch
  • additional, preferably dry, ingredients, use with caution
Method
  1. Add flour and yeast together.
  2. Gradually add in water and mix well. Add until it looks like it still needs more water. Knead with hands. Add more water if really needed.
  3. Form into a ball and leave in a warm place, until doubled in size.
  4. Punch the dough down. Place onto a floured surface and knead, folding in the edges and kneading it outwards. Form into a roll that will fit your baking pan.
  5. Place dough in lightly oiled baking pan. Leave to rise for at least an hour, a few hours more is best.
  6. Bake at 180 deg C for about 45 mins. The bottom of the loaf should sound hollow when tapped. Leave to cool completely before cutting.

Roasted Orange Maple Spiced Chickpeas

Ingredients
  • 1 cup chickpeas (use chickpeas cooked from dried ones, not canned)
  • 3 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp (or more to taste) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • dash of cayenne
Method
  1. Make sure that chickpeas are as dry as possible. Remove any loose skins.
  2. Add in all ingredients.
  3. Bake at 180 deg C for about 30 mins, stirring once midway. Leave to cool. (Note: this method worked for me -the chickpeas turned out crunchy, but from reviews of other recipes, it was suggested to bake, cook, then bake again)
It's my third time making falafel! And as always, though they're simple they taste so good! Perhaps anything with chickpeas taste good ☺And of course, I made some heart-shaped ones too.
They are so addictive; I just treat them as savoury truffles and eat them out of the fridge cold. Lols ^^


Baked Pumpkin & Beetroot Falafel
Makes about 24 small balls

Ingredients
  • 240g (about 1 1/2 cup) cooked dried/ canned chickpeas
  • 80g pumpkin puree
  • 30g beetroot shreds
  • 2 tbsp flour (I used spelt)
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • sea salt to taste (I used black sea salt)

Method
  1. Pulse chickpeas in a food processor until you get a powdery mash, though small chunks are fine. If using canned chickpeas (which are softer), just mash with a fork.
  2. Stir in all the other ingredients. If using canned chickpeas, less pumpkin may be needed.
  3. Using your hands, evenly incorporate all the ingredients. Form small balls/ other shapes and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 180 deg C in a preheated oven for 25-30mins, or until golden brown (though it can be hard to tell as they're so orangy-pink in colour!) Flip them over midway if you'd like (I didn't bother doing this and it turned out fine ☺) Cool and enjoy immediately for the best texture!

The falafel was so crispy on the outside, yet soft and moist on the inside! I had it with shirataki noodles (which were about to expire, oops). Shirataki is a low calorie (~4 kcal/serve), low carbohydrate, low fat, gluten free and high fibre food. They're made from konjac, which is the root of a plant. It comes in other shapes too - like rice, which reminds me, I bought a pack of 'Miracle Rice' over half a year ago and haven't tried it! -_- I'm not really for anything low-carb but they're so convenient; they don't even have to be cooked! I just rinse and drain them. A drawback though, is that it's expensive. One pack (one serving) costs a little over SGD$2 (I got mine from the Japanese supermarket at Star Vista). I mixed two packs here to get both black and white noodles!

Shirataki noodles with a beetroot tomato sauce, falafel balls, white button mushroom, falafel and yellow bell pepper. And not to forget - nutritional yeast! No pasta will be complete without it ☺

First time actually using english parsley! It looks so pretty. And it lasts way longer than the chinese parsley that I usually use. Though the taste isn't the same, nor as nice! 

For the sauce, I blended 1/2 medium tomato, 1/4 medium red bell pepper, 5 dried cherry tomatoes, 3 tbsp beetroot shreds, a crack of black sea salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. It was so yummy!

Lols I tried to plate the noodles in a high-class-restaurant kinda way. I failed hahaha. Shirataki noodles are very hard to twirl! And I guess high class restaurants don't serve so much food on one plate :x

I love having fruit platters! They're so simple to prepare and yet they naturally taste great and look so pretty! ☺ I usually have them for breakfast, as a snack or as a part of lunch.
 
This one here is my favourite so far - because of how colourful it is! Though I did break many fruit combining rules lols :x
Strawberries, orange, watermelon, plum and frozen banana slices and grapes, with hemp hearts and cacao nibs. If you've not tried freezing your fruit before, do try them! They take on a completely different texture - ice-cream-y for bananas, sorbet-y for grapes etc.
 
See the creepy smiley face? ^^ Green kiwi, golden kiwi, orange, apple, frozen blueberries and grapes. The green mush is just 1/4 avocado.

This is my most recent one! Black figs, pomegranate arils, blueberries, black grapes, strawberries, frozen bananas and mint! The brown squggle is raw chocolate, made of raw cacao and coconut oil. It hardened into a 'hard-shell'! Bananas + Chocolate = ♥♥♥
This was my first time having figs at home! I thought I missed the fig season and I was so happy to find it in the supermarket over the weekend ☺

Starfruit, strawberry, lime, persimmon, orange, banana, blueberries, black grapes, coconut flakes and hemp hearts. I thought this looked ugly so I didn't post it on Instagram..

My very first fruit platter! Banana, kiwi, orange, frozen raspberries, white dragonfruit and a tangy dressing made of 2 parts banana, 1 part raw tahini and 1 part lemon juice.
 
Have fun creating and enjoying your own fruit platter! ☺
Pan-fried Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal. Topped & Layered with warm Strawberries & Blueberries, and Vanilla Coconut Molasses creme sauce, plated with Spicy Chocolate Ganache. Garnished with Mint Leaves, a Chocolate Heart (that melted too fast) and a crack of Black Sea Salt.
This is another entry for the Nom Yourself Birthday Challenge, together with my Vanilla Rainbow Pancakes! ☺
This was kinda tedious too, with 4 different things to prepare:
1. Pan-fried Oatmeal
2. Spicy Chocolate Ganache
3. Vanilla Coconut Molasses creme sauce
4. Warmed Strawberries & Blueberries

It was my first time pan frying an oatmeal cake! It crackled a lot and occasionally there were bits of oatmeal popping and flying out! :O Also my first try at drawing with chocolate. It was tough because my hand is so unstable! Hence the wobbly lines and hearts. 


A lovely mix of different tastes - sweet (oatmeal), sour (strawberries), salty (black sea salt), bitter (chocolate) and spicy (chocolate). The outer parts of the oatmeal cakes were crispy and the insides were soft and chewy! ☺


Pan-fried Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal
Serves 1

Ingredients
  • 75g steel cut oats
  • water
  • 1 cinnamon stick and/or ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or other sweetener if desired
  • coconut oil
Method
  1. Soak steel cut oats in water overnight.
  2. Cook oats with cinnamon and stir in maple syrup.
  3. Cut out a piece of baking paper and place into a large glass or a muffin pan.
  4. Pour oats into the glass and leave to cool. It will thicken. Leave in refrigerator if you'd like it to cool faster!
  5. Once oats thicken, turn it out onto a flat surface and remove the baking paper. Cut in half if the oatmeal is too 'tall'.
  6. Oil a non-stick pan with coconut oil. Fry the oat cakes. Enjoy!

Spicy Chocolate Ganache
Serves 1-2

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 level tbsp raw cacao (or cocoa)
  • 1/6 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup

Method
  1. While stirring, add in cacao to the coconut oil, 1/2 tsp at a time. Stop when it is thick, yet still flowy.
  2. Stir in the cayenne pepper and maple syrup. It will thicken once you add in the maple syrup.
  3. If piping, pour into a pastry piping bag or a small plastic sandwich bag and cut off a tiny corner.
  4. If not using immediately, chill in the refrigerator and remove from the refrigerator about 10 mins before using.

Vanilla Coconut Molasses creme sauce
Serves 1-2

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp or more molasses (I used only a little because I didn't want the colour too dark!)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Mix all ingredients together.
Eat Your Rainbows, literally.
Vanilla Rainbow Pancakes layered with Banana slices, topped with a Coconut Tahini Glaze, Pomegranate and Hemp Hearts. With a strawberry and blueberries at the side. 

This is a recreation of one of Nom Yourself's dishes on Instagram, for the Nom Yourself Birthday Challenge. How exciting!! I would LOVE a Vitamix! And the Nom Yourself Cookbook! What I've seen so far on the #cookyourself hashtag looks amazing; not getting my hopes up but still, crossing all fingers and toes. :x

Even if I don't get shortlisted, I'm glad I've done this! The most tedious pancake-making to date! But I've been wanting to try something like this for quite some time now, so I'm super super duper glad with how the colours turned out! I was expecting more faint colours, as is usually the case with natural colouring, but it turned out wonderful ☺
 
Red: Beetroot Juice - stir in 1 tbsp water to 2 tbsp beetroot shreds and press the juice out
Orange: Carrot Shreds - about 1 tbsp
Yellow: Turmeric Powder - about 1/3 tsp
Green: Matcha Powder - 1 slightly rounded tsp
Blue: Purple (or Red) Cabbage Juice - boil about 1 cup chopped cabbage in about 1/3 cup water, then wait for the water to reduce as much as possible, or about 3 tbsp.
Purple: Purple Cabbage Juice and Beetroot Juice - roughly equal parts for each, though it also depends on how concentrated each juice is.
*Note: Colours turn darker after batter is cooked
 
Yes, I know the blue and purple are at wrong positions, but the blue pancake is my favourite of all of these! Not that it's my favourite colour (which is pink) but I didn't expect the colour to be so intense! ☺
I tried cooking the carrots the same way as the purple cabbage, but it didn't work. The method for the beetroot juice didn't work well for the carrots too, and I don't have a juicer. So I just used the carrot shreds; it turned out a bit lumpy but it's still good!
Didn't expect the turmeric to be so strong (colour-wise) and it turned out kinda orange! :x Surprisingly though, I didn't detect a turmeric taste when I was eating, perhaps because of the wonderful glaze!
The green in the matcha pancake was darker than I wanted it to be... A better alternative would be spinach, which sadly I'm out of.
 

The glaze was amazing. Mopped it all up, drizzled on some more and then mopped it all up again. I'd never have thought of using coconut milk for this! It's made with 2 tbsp coconut milk, 1 tsp raw tahini and 1 tsp maple syrup. Fragrant creaminess with just the right touch of sweetness.

I'm also super happy with how the pancakes turned out! Other than the colourings and some water, I used sifted wholewheat flour, vanilla essence, chia seeds and baking powder (totally forgot to add any sweetener). They were fluffy, thicker than my usual pancakes and not dry at all! Usually I have some sort of puree as a binder in my pancakes - banana puree, mango puree, persimmon puree or applesauce. But I wanted to keep it simple this time.. Actually I'm glad that they even turned out at all!


Maybe it's partially because I used a new pan! I bought a small pink (!) pan from Daiso ($2 shop) just for pancakes and crepes. It's actually non-stick, but the non-stick effect kinda wore out after my third pancake -_- Plus some parts of the base of the pan (originally pink) turned white, and some parts turned black, though I used low heat. And the handle conducts heat so I had to use a kitchen towel to hold it. Oh well, I shouldn't have such high expectations for a $2 product! It served me well for these pancakes anyway. ^^

I layered the pancakes with banana slices, but as you can see here I didn't lay them out quite evenly.. :x

A rainbow in your mouth.
 

Vanilla Rainbow Pancakes
Serves 1, though I'd suggest you make more to make the most out of your effort!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sifted wholewheat or white flour
  • 2 level tsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or more), if desired
  • Water
  • Natural Colourings:
  • Red: Beetroot Juice - stir in 1 tbsp water to 2 tbsp beetroot shreds and press the juice out
    Orange: Carrot Shreds - about 1 tbsp
    Yellow: Turmeric Powder - about 1/3 tsp (Alternative: saffron)
    Green: Matcha Powder - 1 slightly rounded tsp (Alternative: spinach)
    Blue: Purple (or Red) Cabbage Juice - boil about 1 cup chopped cabbage in about 1/3 cup water, then wait for the water to reduce as much as possible, or about 3 tbsp.
    Purple: Purple Cabbage Juice and Beetroot Juice - roughly equal parts for each, though the colour also depends on how concentrated each juice is.
    *Note: Colours turn darker after batter is cooked
Method
  1. Mix together flour, chia seeds, vanilla essence and baking powder.
  2. Divide evenly into 6 bowls.
  3. Mix in each of the natural colourings to respective bowls. Add 1/2 tsp maple syrup to each bowl. Stir in water (about 2-3 tbsp) until it reaches pancake batter consistency.
  4. Make sure that each bowl of batter is left to sit for about 10 minutes. You may need to add in 1-2 tbsp water as the batter thickens.
  5. Cook on a non-stick pan, greased with oil spray. Each colour batter makes one pancake. Flip once bubbles form.


Coconut Tahini Glaze
Serves 1

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 tsp raw tahini (only ingredient is sesame seeds)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
Method
Mix all ingredients together. Add more sweetener if desired. Drizzle over pancakes and enjoy!
 


 What's best with Raw Almond Milk? Raw 3-ingredient Cookies! ^^ These are super simple to make, and are soft and crumbly at room temperature, and chewy when frozen/refrigerated. The 3 ingredients are: almond pulp (of course), medjool dates and raw tahini!

I dried the almond pulp a little because it was still kinda clumpy. Also, I kept it in the fridge so it'll get more moist at room temperature because of condensation! Since I don't have a dehydrator, I left this in my oven for 1.5h, with the fan on, and the temperature turned to below 50 deg C.


Then, I pulsed 2 dates (edit: use 2-4 dates depending on desired consistency) in a food processor, with 1 tbsp water (would this count as an ingredient? o_o) because it didn't turn very well. It should form a thick paste. Added it to the dried almond pulp. ...Yes I know what it looks like :x Lols
Mix well and add about 4 tbsp raw tahini, or until the dough holds when you press it together! Shape the dough into cookies, or use a cookie cutter to mold it if you'd like (usually I would but I was lazy this time hehe).


This is the tahini I use. It's just made of hulled sesame seeds and it tastes great!




Optional add-ins: black sesame seeds, cacao nibs, hemp hearts.
Other ideas: goji berries, chia seeds, coconut flakes.
I just pressed the cookies into them but you could mix them in too! ☺


They're yummy just as they are, but I really love them frozen! They don't freeze solid but they'll have a lovely chewiness! Though my fingers do freeze a bit when holding them lols. Luckily they're just 2-bite cookies. ☺
Enjoyed with a cold glass of almond milk on a hot day. Bliss.
Of course I didn't eat them all in one sitting, but I did finish them in 24 hours. I want more! ♡‿♡
Raw 3-Ingredient Almond Pulp Cookies
Makes about 16 addictive two-bite cookies

Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond pulp
  • 2 large medjool dates
  • about 4 tbsp raw tahini
  • 1 tbsp water, if needed
  • Optional add-ins: black sesame seeds, cacao nibs, hemp hearts
Method
  1. Dry the almond pulp if it is damp or clumpy.
  2. In a food processor, blend 2 medjool dates into a thick paste. Add 1 tbsp water if needed.
  3. Add date paste and almond pulp together and mix in about 4 tbsp raw tahini, or until the dough holds when you press it together. Shape the dough into cookies, or use a cookie cutter to mold it.
  4. Roll in, or roll it in, whatever nuts/seeds you want.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or freeze for at least 20 minutes before savouring each bite ♡
Variations
Next time, I'll try it with black tahini, and perhaps other nut butters too!
And maybe add in some superfood powders: cacao, maca, acai etc.

What do you do with your almond pulp? ^^
You know those days when you just don't feel like doing anything? Yup, it's one of those days. The nice cooling weather from the whole morning of rain totally isn't helping either! So I was planning to make a crepe or a single serve cake slice for breakfast but I ended up just having oatmeal and fruits, while looking at the blogs of fellow VeganMofo-ers through the wonderful blog generator, randomofo.com! And then I also intended to make a lovely shepard's pie, as seen on One Ingredient Chef, but I wasn't feeling it either (though I have cooked lentils in the freezer!). And then I could also have written a review of Onaka, a restaurant at ARC (Alexandra Retail Centre), which I've been putting of since Saturday when my family ate there. Well, it's clearly a lazy day, and it's the school holidays, so why fight it? ^^ Haha.
 
So for lunch, I used 1/2 cup of frozen coconut curry sauce, left over from Sunday dinner that Dad cooked, some cherry tomatoes that were going to spoil (they were slightly mouldy at the stalk end, which I chopped off), already-skinned jicama, mini portobellos (that have been in the fridge for a week), pea sprouts and alfalfa (both of which can't keep long). I topped it with black sesame seeds. I would've added some nutritional yeast but I was too lazy to open the new tub and find somewhere in my overcrowded cupboards to store it.
 
Lols this doesn't sound very appetising. But actually it was not bad. :x After melting the curry, I added the tomatoes first (I don't usually cook my tomatoes but I did so as a safety precaution. Hehe), then the pea sprouts and mushrooms and stirred it around for a couple of minutes before turning off the heat. Then I added the cubed jicama. I love that it gives such a juicy and refreshing crunch! After that, I poured it into an alfalfa nest in this bowl! ☺
I shall call this Leftovers Curry Stew.

Actually most of my lunches/dinners at home (that I don't Instagram) are somewhat like this, though without the curry, and with more ingredients!
 
Usually it goes like this, with one from each of the first 3 categories, and a few from the last 2.
Leaves: 1/2 cabbage, one pack of leafy greens
Starch: 1 medium Japanese sweet potato (my fave!) or other sweet potatoes, about 3/4 cup pumpkin, a few tbsp rolled oats
Protein-y stuff: 1 block firm tofu (150g), 1 tube silken tofu (250g), 1 pack tempeh (the 50 cent kind from Sheng Siong)
Others: 1 medium carrot, 8 cherry tomatoes, a couple of mushrooms
Spices & such: curry powder, turmeric, cracked black pepper, salt-free seasoning, nutritional yeast, parsley, lemon juice
Then I'll cook it with a bit of water in a non-stick pan at low heat! ☺
 
Now I'm off to go grocery shopping for the Nom Yourself Birthday Contest! I'd love love love to win a Vitamix. And the Nom Yourself Cookbook! Ahh so exciting!
