Vegan MoFo ~ Vegan Fried Green Tomatoes & Sauce, Sweet & Spicy Vegg Fried Rice, Chai Spices, & Furkids

Happy Monday!  I will have multiple posts today as it was a VERY busy weekend but quite fun as well!  Here is the first of a few posts! 

Friday Night after work I decided to go get some Avocados at Aldi's (the best place to buy Avocado where I live - the freshest and the best price!)  My sister wanted me to make Avocado Hummus for our Wildtree Event on Saturday.  So I did just that.  I also bought some white rice.  I didn't have any at home.  I usually use other rices - other than white rice - but once and a while I will use it - but didn't have any in my stash!  So...now I do!

After buying just those three items I decided to go to The Hatch Patch - a local produce stand here in town.  I ended up buying 2 nice sized Green Tomatoes!  I have to admit I didn't grow up on Green Tomatoes!  My parents were into various Red Tomatoes but not green.  My husband LOVES Green Tomatoes.  He grew up with them.  The funniest part is - Hubby wasn't home most of this weekend and I ended up making these for myself!  I think I have only ever had Fried Green Tomatoes maybe 2 or 3 times in my life.  I guess I was feeling adventurous!

Anyhow...I made these Vegan Fried Green Tomatoes!  Here is what I used to make them!

2 Green Tomatoes
Vegg - the equiv of 4 to 6 'eggs'
Vegan Bread Crumbs
About 4 T Wildtree Tzatziki Seasoning/Blend
Wildtree "Tuscan" Grapeseed Dipping Oil for pan frying

Many of you know I am a 'sauce' person so I wanted something to drizzle over top and/or use for dipping so I made this for them and it turned out pretty good - however - it made WAY too much - so I won't put the measurements here but will put the ingredients incase you would like to tinker with it a bit.

I used...
Vegan Mayo (like Veganese)
Frank's Hot Suace (or any other Hot Sauce)
Parsley

 Since I used slices of Green Tomatoes for the Fried Green Tomatoes I had some 'tops' left and didn't want them to go to waste so I decided to do a "leftovers" type of Vegg Fried Rice again. 

I did try and use the left over "Vegg" mixture and try and 'fluff it up' to mock 'scrambled eggs' but it didn't work so hot. 

So what I did was throw in the rest of the Green Tomatoes - diced - in with a half of green pepper, a half of a Scallion, some white Rice, and 2 Table spoons of Tomatoes soaked in Green Chilies. 

I then pan-fried until gently brown.  It turned out really good and I liked the sweet of the tomatoes and the spicy of the tomato/chili combo.

Speaking of SPICY...I received some Chico Chai Products I will be sampling and reviewing over at Sororitea Sisters at some point.  Here is a bit of their Original Chai.  I just really liked how it looked in the picture so I thought I would share it with you!

I've grown to LOVE Chai!  The spices are quite good for you and have healing and in some cause detoxifying properties.  But I will get into that another time.

I drink various types of tea thru-out the day! 

It's been a while since I posted a Furkid Photo.  Friday Night the 'kids' were sacked-out.  Paco and Suzie snuggled up with each other on my lap on the sofa.

Prior to taking this photo I cleaned Paco's eyes with Tear Wipes.  I'm trying to use the rest of the wipes I have and will NOT be buying them again.  I don't care for them.  Yes, they are gentle, and Paco doesn't seem to mind them but I think there is a better way and a better product out there.  I don't think the ones I am using are working very well.  There is a product I have had my eye on over at my local herb store - I am not sure on the name but I am thinking I might try that next time.  I believe it has a bit of Neem Oil in it.

I have lots more to share today so please visit back later as I will probably have another post or two up by then with more happenings from the weekend!  In the meantime...let me know how your weekend was!
