My sister in law made dinner for our family last weekend. My husband and I had just finished a four day mostly juice fast. Our day looked something like this:
Breakfast:
Lemon water
Green tea
Pineapple kale juice
(1/2 pineapple, 6 kale leaves, 10 romaine leaves, 1" ginger)
Lunch:
Cilantro apple cabbage juice
(1/4 cabbage, half bunch cilantro, 2 apples, 10 romaine leaves)
Snack:
Watercress carrot juice
(1/2 bunch watercress, 10 romaine leaves, 5 carrots, 1/2 bunch parsley, 1/2 lemon)
Dinner:
Large salad
romaine lettuce, basil leaves, cilantro, fennel bulb thinly sliced, grapefruit, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper
Anyway by day 4 I was pretty hungry for more substance.
My sister in law made this amazing bean pasta which I need to get the recipe for.
She also made bread with a red pepper spread, and a beautiful cabbage salad.
Unfortunately I don't have these recipes, but it was pure joy to eat!
I decided to make bread too after this.
Making bread does take some time, but oh is it sooo worth it!
I doubled this recipe...
Sandwich bread:
2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup water
3 cups of flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tbsp oil
Let the active yeast, sugar and the warm water sit for 10 minutes. Then add the rest of the water, salt and oil. One cup at a time add the flour. Knead with your hands until it's elastic. Then put into a bowl and let rise for 1 hour. After 1 hour knead the air out of it, and let rise again for 15 minutes.
Oil a tray to put the bread onto, and put some oil on the outside of the bread. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the bread for 25 minutes. Cool the bread on a rack for 10-15 minutes.
This bread possibly was a terrible idea, because now it's hard to want to eat anything else!
lol.
Bread plus vegan butter (earthbalance) plus daiya block mozzarella cheese. Is amazing. I never used to like vegan cheese, and then I never used to like any vegan cheese that wasn't thoroughly melted. But
either my taste buds have changed or this cheese is plain amazing.
Bread. butter. cheese. it is so good. lol.
oh also, I've enjoyed it with yellow mustard too, I know that's probably gonna be way too weird for some people, but I guess I just really love mustard.
For breakfast lately I've been having raw granola -- Go Raw: Raisin Crunch, Sprouted Granola
with this almond horchata, that is also pretty amazing.
Anyway, lazy food days that's for sure.
