Farro Lentil Dish

I was going to post about this yesterday but already had two blogging entries.  So - why not today, eh!?  This is the Farro Lentil Dish I came up with that I ate for my lunch yesterday.  I ended up making extra Farro as well as some Lentils that were pre-packaged from Trader Joe's the last time I went.  All you had to do with them is put them in the microwave or on the stove-top for a few minutes.  I only used 5 ingredients in this dish but I think I had it figured out that it was roughly 30 to 34 grams of protein in this...yet another dish to prove those nay-sayers wrong that vegetarians and vegans can't get enough protein, eh!?  Here's what's in this dish:

1 C Farro, Cooked

1 C Lentils, Cooked

1 C Zuke in Tomato Sauce

2 tea Wildtree "Everything Blend" (More on this below)

2 T Pine Nuts

Inspired by the ubiquitous “everything” bagel, this blend can now be applied to, well, everything! Use as a coating for fish, flavor pretzels, or mix it into butter to make a unique everything spice garlic bread!

 

Of course you won't be seeing any 'fish' here on my blog...but you WILL be seeing other ways to use this product that goes along with my vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.  This product does have a speck of sea salt in it and as many of you know I'm not usually one to add "salt" to my foods but it worked well here probably because it complimented and didn't overpower the other flavors.

 

This Wildtree Product includes the following ingredients:
Sesame Seeds

Sea Salt

Poppy Seeds

Onion

Caraway Seeds

Garlic

Each ingredient is organic is at has the new(er) Wildtree Organic Label right on there!  I will be trying to use this more in my dishes and post them here for all to see.  If you would like to order this product on my website it's only $8.50 and a very little bit goes a long way!  I would say 1/2 tea to 1 tea is all you need at a time but it DOES come in a shaker top so  you can add as much or as little as you want.

I will have at least 1 more blog entry today so be sure to visit again soon!

Vegan MoFo ~ Creamy & Sweet Avocado Dressing, Birthday Wishes, Hot & Sweet Stir Fry

Last Night was BUSY for a Monday Night!

I got out of work a bit late and Hubby wanted to try some food from our new local Sheetz.  I went over and got a LARGE salad with no dressing.  When I got home I made my own dressing in my Ninja!  It turned out WONDERFUL!  The Salad was very tasty!  The ingredients were surprisingly fresh and the people at the shop were really nice!  The Salad was a good sized one, too!  

 For the Dressing here is what I did...

1 Avocado

Splash of Wildtree Tuscan Dipping Oil

1 T Minced Garlic

1 T Agave Nectar

1/4 C Water

Splash of Lemon Juice

I REALLY REALLY LOVED This Dressing!  It was creamy!  It was Sweet!  It was Garlicky!  And a tad lemony!  I would definitely do this again!

After Dinner I went over to visit my Mom and Dad.  My Dad's Birthday was Sunday and I wanted to give him a card and a little gift I picked up over the weekend.  If you read my post yesterday - it was a handmade wooden single wine bottle holder I thought would look cute on their kitchen table.  He seemed to really like it.  He also liked the card.  I soaked the white lace in baby blue powdered chalk and water and dried.  On the inside I hand wrote "Birthday Wishes" and Love Dale, Jennifer, & The Fur Grand Kids!

I stayed for about an hour and a half and everyone started to get sleepy so I left.  I was going to try and stop at Walmart but decided to drive passed it and lost the urge to stop.  I didn't really have a reason to stop really and it was about 10pm.

When I got home I painted another layer on a picture frame I am 'tinkering around' with.and set it aside to dry.

I then played with the dogs for a bit and then went to the kitchen to do a quick stir fry which was supposed to be for lunch today but it will be for dinner instead.

Here's a photo of it.  And here is what is in this dish:

1/2 C Rice

1 C Red Pepper/Yellow Pepper/Onion (Frozen)

1/2 C Peas

Handful Almonds

1 tea Wildtree Everything Blend

2 T Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos

1 tea Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tea Hot Sauce

1 tea Agave Nectar

I like the 'yin and yang' of the hot and sweet here.  The peas were also frozen and 'popped' in your mouth real nice!  The only bad part...is now I am officially out of Coconut Aminos...bummer!
