Healthy Vegan - #EatYourGreens July Round Up

Welcome to July's Round up of Eat Your Greens.  We have 6 super vegetarian and vegan recipes, all very different and all perfect for summer eating out in the garden.   
The first recipe comes from Beth who blogs over at BLT in MT withMexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Grilled Bok Choy and Spicy Vinaigrette served with Macaraoni Yum - yes, its vegan too.  Beth has used homegrown bok choy in stir fries, but also smoothies, but she writes grilling it is perhaps her favourite way of eating it.  I will have to try this way of cooking bok choy as I never have.



The second recipe comes from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk. Helen shared with us a Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Broccoli and Chickpea Salad.    Lisa describes this as a 'earthy salad'.  I love that description - earthy, that often makes me think of beetroot, but her its 'broccoli florets with plump buttery soft chickpeas and nutty brown rice'.  That is not all, its finished off with a zesty dressing that includes pineapple juice.  Go and check it out, its perfect for summer days. 
Corina from Searching For Spice bring to the table her Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Vegetable Jambalaya.  This is no ordinary Red and Green Jambalaya - its has smoky undertones and sweetness from local tomatoes.  The green comes from sugar snap peas and fresh pea shoots.  
And finally, my own contribution which was Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Strawberry, Spinach and Asparagus Salad.  
I hope you will join in this months #EatYourGreens challenge Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.

Healthy Vegan - Smoky Black Kale, Chickpeas and Mushroom Stew

Image
Its been a busy month for me with work mostly.   I have to admit I haven't had much energy or enthusiasm for cooking when I got home.  In fact, t wice last  week we have had Chilli and Potato Pierogi, not homemade but from a  packet.  I have mad e pierogi in the past and would love to have a go at making them again. Today though, I got home and had a little energy to cook.  I made a relatively quick Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew.  Many of the ingredients in this were left over from the Black Kale and Chickpeas Pot Pie I made over the weekend.  I think this  Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew i s one of those dishes best enjoyed a day or two later, as it was just okay.  Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew Serves 2 - 3 Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 200grams mushrooms, sliced 2 clove garlic, crushed Sprig of fresh thyme 1/4  teaspoon chipotle flakes 1 x 400grams tinned tomatoes, crushed 100grams black k...

Healthy Vegan - Coriander Potato, Red Pepper and Corn Salad

Image
I am quite pleased with myself today.  I feel like between the two of us, we have accomplished something. We got up and spent all morning in the garden allotment plot while the summer sun was out for Springtime.  D tied back the unruly climbing and trailing rose stems.  He also transferred some of the herbs into bigger plots. I cleared a plot today and whilst I was weeding, I found myself  actually enjoying the weeding, removing the woven weeds from the soil was quite therapeutic.  My body will ache in a couple of days, but that's its way of saying - exercise more.  I will share progress later in the week as we intend to spend some more time in the garden allotment plot either later today or tomorrow (providing the heavy rain stays away). I was also quite pleased  to have some left over salad in the fridge (a bit like this one) as I did not want to make something having spent hours in the garden toiling.   This particular Coriander Po...

Healthy Vegan - Red Harvest Monday

Image
The weather forecasters got it right this weekend in the UK. Saturday was blazing hot and Sunday was pouring with rain. On Saturday, we took a day trip to Glastonbury and Sunday, was  a wash-out for the garden.  If I still had an allotment plot, I know I would have gone to it and worked there and harvested, but as its in the back of my garden, my attitude is somewhat different that which is a shame really and needs to change going forward.  But I did not waste the day, doing household chores and cooking grub in readiness for the working week which includes our lunch, so I was not totally lazy.   As it was raining yesterday, these photographs are from earlier in the week, but I am still going to share them for Harvest Monday. Gorgeous raspberries are starting to make a welcome appearance. I don't have as many raspberry canes as last year I cleared a section in the back garden for a bench and rhubarb plants, so will try to pick and enjoy those ripening that is...
