My name is Sarahfae and I'm a Veggie-holic

I don't really know what to call this...
"Lunch in a hurry?"
"A messy pile"?
"La Chupacabra?" (Don't Google image search La Chupacabra - it'll make you sad. It did me.)

At first glance this pile of food on my plate reminded me of a Tostada - but in actuality it really doesn't have anything in common with Mexican cuisine other than the Avocado.

So let's just call it "The Fusion Tostada"



The Fusion Tostada

You will need a heaping amount of Zucchini Monsterella Cheeze, dehydrated longer than the recipe calls for --- until it's a slightly crispy texture (the above Cheeze was made with Yellow Zucchini - hence the difference in color).

• Spread the Zucchini Monsterella Cheeze around your plate.
• 1 Mashed/creamed Avocado, seasoned with a little sea salt and cracked pepper
• Top with chopped: White Onion, Orange bell pepper, Sundried Tomato, Raw Black Olive. Toss the chopped mixture with: Apple Cidar Vin., Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pureed Medjool Date Sweetener, S&P

It's rrrrrrrreally good.
I swear!

There's nothing like going over your old recipes and re-doing them, only to have them turn out better in taste and health too.
I'll be doing a lot of this over the coming weeks and months, in an effort to eliminate two ingredients that have seemed to dominate my kitchen: Braggs Liquid Aminos, and Agave Nectar.

Here's a recent re-dux, involving my favorite lunchtime (or anytime) snack: "No-Chickpea" Hummus - The redux? No Walnuts, no Agave, no Braggs Liquid Aminos, and additional spices...and the change, to me, is HUGE in a good way.

And Just because it's pretty:
A super simple plate: Tomatoes topped with Zucchini Monsterella Cheeze and sprinkled with Sunflower Parm

I should preface this with the fact that I've never actually tried, or even seen (in person) an actual fried green tomato.


Something I whipped up really quickly when I went home for lunch today. As always, the super supportive, non-vegan hubby "oooh'd" and "aaah'd" at my plate when I brought it out the the patio where he sat waiting.

A recent post over at Fat Free Vegan got me thinking about a raw version of the fried green tomato. This is probably the easiest and most taste-satisfying snack, and I would think and hope that just about anyone who's a fan of the tomato would be willing to try it - raw or not.
I'd like to make a more fancy, slightly more complicated version of this - but for now this works as a perfect, quick and easy meal for one.



Flax&Sunny Parm Coated Tomato

One Tomato, sliced into half in think rounds
Gently push/wipe the seeds away from the tomato
Use either a paper towel, or clean cloth and gently pat the tomato slice so as to remove moisture - do press or squeeze it though - you want a good, firm, stable tomato slice, and a little bit of moisture is okay - just not a sopping wet tomato.

In a small bowl combine:
3 tbsp Sunflower Parm
3 tbsp Golden flaxseed meal
S&P
Mix well.

Set an individual slice of tomato on top of dry mixture - shake the bowl around so the dry ingredients coat the sides of the tomato.
Use a fork to turn the tomato over and coat the other side.
Top with dried or fresh Basil.
Plate with avocado, and eat immediately!
Yum!

Yesterday C and I spent ALL day outside, in my backyard, in our bathing suits, in the sunshine, while our boys were out doing "boy things".
It was truly one of the best days I've had all summer. There's something to be said about doing absolutely nothing, and doing "nothing" with a good friend. It was perfect.

Here's what I enjoyed for dinner...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
This weekend was one of those that seemed to go on forever --- in a reallyreally good way. I love it when that happens! I feel relaxed, refreshed, and totally ready for whatever Monday might bring.

With that said/wrote - here's what the Sis and I had for a Sunday brunch...one of many new, fun, and easy recipes to come!

Grapes, Home-made Almond Milk, and "Super Hero Breakfast Bars" with "Anytime Strawberry Spread"
