No lovely outdoor pics in this post, it’s too hot! Instead I headed back to the gym this morning for the first time since the pandemic. I needed a change and new challenge from my home workout routine and going outside is not an option.
It was nice to mix things up and guess I will be adding this to the weekend routine for awhile. There were more routine eats too with large salads and more yellow squash and zucchini stir fries.
I tried this Chickapea Vegan Mac with added peas for dinner one evening for a fun meal. Not super decadent, but tasty and fun.
We also tried a new splurge from Amy’s Drive Thru – Vegan Chili Cheese Fries and they were a tasty treat! And nice that it was not a crazy portion, just perfect for a little splurge.
And we stepped out for more kicky vegan Thai this week.
Since we spent more time indoors with the triple-digit heat this weekend, Ron dug out and cleaned our deep fryer to play with and use up more zucchini.
I used veggie broth as the liquid and a seasoned blend of panko bread crumbs with vegan parmesan while making a mess of the kitchen.
The end result was delicious, crispy and crunchy. The zucchini takes on a creamy texture inside the batter and the fried sticks were great chopped and added to a salad.
Ron also used it to fry a Field Roast Stadium Dog to make a chili cheeze dog with plant based chili and Daiya cheddar and gave a thumbs up for the texture. I kept it simple with turmeric tempeh noodle soup… with more zucchini, lol.
Back to the grind tomorrow and avoiding this heat! Let’s start the with with a positive list!
I enjoyed looking at all of your vegan meals. chick pea Mac and cheese sounds awesome.
Thanks and it was.
Oh man, fried zucchini is something magical alright! I’m totally craving it now but truth be told, I could happily eat that every day.
It was such a delicious splurge. Looking at what else we can fry next! :-)
