That’s right, folks–it’s Monday. Which means it is time for weekend food and my lunch-for-the-week!
Buckwheat Blueberry Muffins
I bought buckwheat flour and wanted to experiment. I made Fooddoodle’s Gluten Free Vegan Blueberry Muffins. They were…okay. Ish. But not really. I ate two and tossed the rest (luckily the recipe only made 6 muffins–I hate wasting food). The texture was gummy and there was little taste and, well…I’ll stick with using buckwheat for pancakes (which I LOVE). Experimentation=Over for now.
Socca and Nooch Sauce
Have you guessed that this is my go-to meal? Spinach socca + chili-flavored nutritional yeast sauce. And some cherry tomatoes. Had this for lunch on Saturday. Made it again for lunch on Sunday.
Lunch for the Week
Curry-roasted Veggies
Throw some frozen veggies into a pan (brussels sprouts and cauliflower pictured). Add curry, salt and pepper. Put in a 400 degree oven until they look done (30-40 min).
Broccoli and Bean Veggies Burgers
Food process a head of broccoli, mash up a can or two of beans, add oatmeal flour, 2T ground up chia seeds and enough liquid of choice to make a damp dough. Season to your heart’s content. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or so.
Fun non-food stuff in the near future–I promise for realz this time.
Curry roasted veggies sound really great! I have always found that curry goes well with vegetables
It does! But then again, what DOESN’T curry go well with?
i love the socca!! spinach socca is genius!
I can’t take credit for the idea, but it IS delicious!
I thought the black bean burgers were chocolate chip cookies at first.. lol. They look good tho- I love veggie burgers with chunks of beans and veggies in them!
Now I wish they WERE choco cookies, then I’d REALLY look forward to lunch at work
I love nooch, but I’ve never made it into a sauce. I love to use frozen veggies for roasting – so easy!
I highly recommend the sauce/dip version! Pretty much just 1/2c nooch, 1c milk of choice, 2T flour of some sort, spice (turmeric or chili powder or what have you)–heat and whisk until you have thickened deliciousness!
i love your lunch for the week! Mine pretty much is going to be pb and j sandwiches…boo!
Hardly boo, that sounds delicious to me
But then again, I AM in love with anything PB
Those broccoli and bean burgers must be delicious!! I love everything with broccoli! And the spinach socca sounds like fun:) I have a week spot for green coloured foods
They’re pretty good, I could have gone a little stronger on the seasoning, however. Oh, well. Yeah, I think half the reason I keep making that meal is for the lawn-grass-green color!
Those curry roasted veggies look perfect! I’m loving brussels sprouts right now
Curry roasted veggies are one of my absolute favorite things to eat. And the black bean burgers are now on my to-do list. They look great!
You should definitely give them a try, such an easy and flexible recipe, so you can’t really go wrong with just throwing in whatever flour/bean/vegetable is on hand
I’ve never seen green socca before! I love the idea of throwing in spinach, that’s great!
