L: whole wheat pasta mac & "Not cheese" with broccoli D: not sure yet [edit: just spoke with hubby and he's making CHILI for dinner! We love his veg chili - and we've got omni friends and family that request it! He makes it mild (for me - reflux isn't pretty if I try to eat spicy foods) then adds a bit of his fav hot sauce at the table to spice it up for his own taste buds] Snacks: sm apple, banana, grapes --Deb R

sparkledee Joined: 09/04/11 Posts: 48	RE: DAY 8: Whatcha eating? Posted Monday, September 12, 2011 at 1:15 PM I'm thinking one meal at a time today - so far Breakfast - 1/2 c quinoa, 1/2 c. kidney beans, mixed with 3 Tbl salsa Snack - 1/2 banana and a few dried cherries I'll probably look over others meals to get ideas for the rest of the day. Vegankitty - can I ask how you make the quinoa soup or is there a recipe online I can look up? Also, I was wondering what type of spices you sautee your cabbage in. Sounds good!

vegankitty Joined: 12/29/10 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 109	RE: DAY 8: Whatcha eating? Posted Monday, September 12, 2011 at 1:22 PM I think some one had posted a recipe here! I just glanced over the recipe and added a few things on my own. 1. Some left over quinoa that I had made for salad 2. 2 small cans of vegetable broth 3. A few stalks of leaves 4. Mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans) 5. A medium sized red pepper 6. Few cloves of garlic I sauted leek and the veggies in some water. Then added the broth and quinoa. Added some dried parsley, dried garlic powder (yeah more garlic ). Also added a dash of coriander and cumin powder (you can exclude it if you think it will be spicy) and a some cayenne pepper. Garnished it with cilantro leaves for a pretty sight! It makes a hearty soup. Yum! I am feeling hungry already It is easy to be mankind, Difficult to be human Striving to become human!

I am feeling hungry already Um... question: #3 a few stalks of leaves - should that say "leeks" to match the sauteed veggies part or is that any green leafy's leaves? We're always looking for tasty ways to use leftover quinoa - whoda thunk that'd be a staple in our pantry? --Deb R

Posted Monday, September 12, 2011 at 1:28 PM Oh yeah and for the cabbage- well I again used coriander/cumin powder. I first dry roasted cumin seeds and mustard seeds, turmeric and asafoetida. Then added some chopped garlic and water. Let it simmer for about 5-10 mins. Then add the cut cabbage and add some more water (eyeball it- enough to atleast get my cabbage moving). I also added the coriander/cumin powder (as mentioned above) and some red chilly powder (Feel free to exclude it if it is spicy). Basically, the cabbage should shrink and the water should be almost nil in the pan. About 10 mins before turning off the stove, I added some frozen green peas (for color). In the end garnished it with chopped cilantro leaves! Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables!! It is easy to be mankind, Difficult to be human Striving to become human!
