This is not so much lunch as a micro snack but my kid was asking for peanut butter so I blitzed half roasted almonds and half roasted & salted sunflower seeds. Pretty fantastic in a little ‘sandwich’ between crackers, and really held her over well.

like you, Darcy, we are not vegetarians but eat vegetarian (actually, vegan!) a lot. I love a hearty salad. To make it filling without animal proteins I add sunflower seeds, chickpeas, several different kinds of vegetables and fruits, and top it off with a tahini-based dressing.

A little more time consuming but very yummy is lettuce wraps…[Read more]

Oh that sounds amazing! Tomato season is coming!!

That looks amazing, thank you!

Awesome!

I make a quick lunch of feta, cucumber, tomato and a little celery (for crunch) seasoned with salt and pepper.
It is quick and very tasty.

@roundtheworldgirl, what a bummer! My husband says the same thing happens to him with all melons, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew… He still eats a little in the summer though.

@motherof5, we are hoping to build a hot house (glass house) next spring. We just moved into a new house so inside projects are being done this year and outdoor…[Read more]

Oh, eggplant. I miss it! I loved it until I suddenly became allergic to it after my son was born. It’s been two years and it still makes my whole mouth itch when I eat it (and my hands if I cook with it). I deal with the discomfort for the occasional mouthful of baba ghanoush but eggplant parmesan is out 🙁

We had steak, sweet potatoes and…[Read more]

My neighbour uses a glass house @darcyjane, maybe that helps?

He grows vegies for fun, we happily take his excess.

I pulled out too much mince @Sarvi, so I *have* to make another today.
No one is complaining. 🙂

Mmmmmm eggplant! I tried to grow it last year and failed :/ is it a fall thing? I tried growing it in the summer!

Sarvi, our farmer’s market opens this weekend and I’m sooooo excited for some local eggs! I totally agree, supermarket eggs leave a lot to be desired!

If I had eggs like those, really fresh, I bet I’d eat loads of them. Supermarket eggs are really sad specimens. Pale yolks, shells barely there. I splurged on proper eggs from the farmer’s market today. Had to queue for them!

Moussaka sounds fab.

@DarcyStruble, yum! Love that idea. Thank you.

We are lucky with eggs, it is good we like them.

Another 1/2 dozen egg plants were dropped off yesterday so I think moussaka is on the menu again tonight.

Oh my! All of these recipes sound great!

One of my favorite meals to make are pouches. Super quick. Last night we layered salmon on top of asparagus (it’s asparagus season here yay), drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper and topped the salmon with a couple sprigs of thyme and a couple slices of lemon. They are wrapped in their serving…[Read more]

Wish I did, but I’m not familiar with the dish — but it sounds tasty!

Does anyone have a favorite Bombay potatoes recipie? Hubby had some at a restaurant that also had chickpeas included. We’ve been trying to reproduce it and had some great dinners but still haven’t found a favorite.
