Monday Buddha Bowl

Back to work today, but thankfully we were both fuelled with our helping of overnight oats:

1 cup oats 1 cup almond milk 2 tbsp peanut butter

For Frankie we added: 2 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tbsp agave syrup and topped off with cranberries and Oreo Thins!

For me I just added a 1/2 mashed banana in the night before, then topped off with sunflower seeds and blueberries.

Thanks to our work on Sunday we both had leftover King of Salads for lunch!

For dinner I whipped up a tofu buddha bowl. I marinaded the tofu in the sauce for a few hours before cooking, then simply added the lot together in a bowl.

1/2 sliced red pepper 2 cups wild rice tofu in peanut butter sauce 1 handful of spinich

The star of the show is the peanut butter sauce: 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup chilli sauce

I usually add a bit more chilli sauce to taste :)

Thats two days down and we are sticking to plan so you can expect more of the same tomorrow!

Sunday Funday

This is the first in a series of blog posts I'll be doing this week to show off some of the really easy vegan meals we eat. Being a Sunday you'd think we'd have plenty of time to whip up delicious tasting treats for ourselves, but with a 1.5 year old toddler there is never enough time in the day!

Predictably we started off today with overnight oats. I really got into making these a little while ago, but have recently fallen out of practice, time to fix that!

1 cup oats 1 cup almond milk 2 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp agave syrup Topped off in the morning with sunflower seeds and chopped banana

For lunch we have Smashed Avocardo, this is a Frankie special.

2 pieces toast 1 mashed avocado 1 handful chopped spinach 4 small fresh tomatoes 4-5 piquant peppers 1/4 red onion

Finally, for dinner we had an American version of the 'grilled' cheese sandwich which is actually fried, and one of my all time favorites, the King of Salads:

2 pieces toast (buttered on the outside) spread with marmite and grated (vegan) cheese in the middle lightly fried

The side dish here is really the main event, the King of Salads:

1 yellow and 1 red pepper 1 handful tomatoes 1 handful red and green grapes 1 handful spinach 1 red onion 2 large carrots 1 cup orzo 1 cup quinoa 1 tbsp mango chutney 1 tbsp onion chutney

Finely chop all the veg and cook the pasta and quinoa and let cool before mixing all the ingredients togethe. This is one of those easy to make things that is great to box up for weekday lunches.

That rounds of the Sunday menu, I'll be back tomorrow with Mondays rundown.

The Kitchen Takeover

This week I've pursuaded @FrankieJonesLive to let me takeover the kitchen and cook up some delicious vegan dinners. In preparation I've planned the weeks meals and stocked up on plenty of easy, delicious meal options.

Everyday I'll be posting our meals along with the ingredients and recipe. I doubt this is something I'll be doing evey week but its a good way to kick off the blog! The plan is to make enough dinner most evenings to also have for lunch the following day.

Its not all about the dinners though, throughout the week I'll be preparing overnight oats in an attempt to get Frankie to eat a reasonable breakfast. I'll also be putting the baby's afternoon nap time to good use on Sunday making our infamous King of Salads so look out for that in the next post.
