I am trying to get back to my healthy veg ways. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen whipping up adventurous meals. But now as a busy adult with a full-time job, I have been slacking on the creativity front. I feel like I am eating the same meals day in and day out.
My DIY buffet included all the randoms from my pantry and fridge – seaweed, miso soup, chickpeas, pickles, sprouts, corn, apples and some nuts and seeds. I had leftovers for lunch the next day too. I forgot how much I love preparing meals for guests. It really is fun playing in the kitchen.
It helps that I bought a dehydrator a few weeks ago. I just want to make everything! It’s been super fun experimenting. I found a simple raw cracker recipe from The Rawtarian. My crackers were perfectly edible. (All crackers should strive for this feat). I used ground flaxseeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. I forgot to add spice but they turned out great. I didn’t dehydrate as long as suggested because I like my crackers a little chewy.
And I made these awesome vegan “cheese” kale chips. Loved this recipe from Our Little Green Dot. Again it was simple and easy to make. The “cheese” sauce was tasty. Cashews are so good for you! (Did you know they are actually considered seeds not nuts?) No doubt I will be making the sauce again to try with other recipes.
Looks good!
My diet changed when I met my husband, he is a vegan. I did not change over to a vegan but eat better because he is a vegan – more variety and healthier.
I am a meat eater, but I will say a veggie buffet can be VERY yummy. Super tasty and GOOD for you. Changing up the diet is good. and homemade crackers are AWESOME!! thanks for that! 🙂 Putting the same topping on popcorn as kale chips is also a yummy savoury treat
I've cut out the pop. But I love food – I run to eat!
