I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.

Wow! That is great, those look amazing. I hope they enjoy it and keep it up because they look like they know what they are doing. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Kidney stones, no?

Thanks. As long as you give it time to cook and really soften the veggies. I only had 1 cup of lentils so I was half a cup short, but ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Oh yeah, I think chillies would be great, add a nice warmth to the soup. It probably would work nice. I like the idea.

 

It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.

I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.

Here is the recipe I used for this.

It's chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, oil, rosemary and onions

 

This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.

The aquarium is amazing, wish we had budgeted more time for it. The facility it is at has a whole days worth of activity there. The Olive Mill is a pretty good pace to check out as well, specially if you like olive oil. I wanted to go, but didn't have time to visit Heard Museum.

Yeah, there was a nice period when Pidgin could easily handle all the chats. Then providers siloed their apps ๐Ÿซค

Thank you. I tried to set them up to sync between my desktop and Android but no luck.

Do you sync your Joplin notes with Synching? Any tips?

I tried it this summer. It was slow and not that engaging. But, I'm willing to give it another try next summer in hopes of improvements.

 

Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.

 

I found another bread recipe called basic white bread. This is even more basic than the first. The ingredients for this one was only yeast, sugar, water, flour and salt. The crust was amazing so flaky. It was cooked in Dutch oven with the lid closed for the first half then open for the last half.

 

This evening I made a curry that had mango yogurt in it and rather than making rice I made baked lentil balls, haha there is a better name for them, right? Something like kofte? Anyhow this dish was extremely affordable, packed with veggies and flavour.

 

It's fall time and it's the perfect time to roast.

 

Hahaha, I made breaded BBQ tofu bites.

 

I made this olive oil cake for my wife's birthday. Recipe from, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaG0A0r6Iq4&t=1

 

Today in Battleford, Saskatchewan, we had a street festival and at this event were several food trucks. We got Bao buns and spring rolls from one. The Bao on the left is a brisket filled one and the one on the right is pork belly... Wow, so good. Plus the weather was great for mid September here it was 28*C

 

I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it's easy and cheap to make. I didn't take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.

 

We were gifted a bunch of tomatoes so I made this tomato loaf. I used this recipe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjEwRcTwU-g&t=1 I couldn't find sun dried tomatoes not in oil so I didn't use them, and pinenuts were crazy expensive so didn't use those either. I did add a whole clove of garlic and some Italian seasoning. Loved it, ate a whole loaf with the family once it cooled. I'm curious about adding bits of mozzarella into it next time.
