Malaysian Curry Laksa with Chicken & Shrimp
Brr! I have officially declared it Snowvember. It took a while to get here, but the snow just keeps coming. All the ski resorts are rushing to open new terrain for their opening weekends. I am definitely going to have to get out there soon. But for now, I am cuddling up in my apartment with a nice bowl of this Malaysian curry.
Italian Zucchini Roll-Ups
I finally finished eating all of the vegetables from my harvest (which included about 15 heads of kale!). I am definitely going to miss the days of walking around back to cut my lettuce for lunch. My last hope for harvest are my tomatillo plants that I brought inside. They have a TON of little tomatillos on them, but I am not sure if they are going to grow inside… Fingers crossed!
Roasted Chickpea Buddha Bowl w/ Red Pepper Sauce
This recipe has been delayed for quite some time, sorry for the wait! This is another delicious take on the Buddha Bowl idea from Well and Full. The chickpeas add a spicy crunch to this bowl, while the red pepper sauce adds a bright punch. And yes, I confess that I added some rotisserie chicken to this dish, as you can see in the photos- BUT it usually is completely vegan. The Daily Burn describes Buddha Bowls as, “similar to macrobiotic aka macro bowls in that they incorporate the eating principles of Chinese and Japanese medicine and include raw or roasted veggies, beans, a whole grain, like brown rice, farro or quinoa, and sometimes fish, with every meal. This way of eating is thought to be “ideal” for reducing toxins in the body and lowering your risk of chronic diseases.” If you are into this recipe, you will love the Mango Chicken Buddha Bowl as well!
Ahi Tuna Mango Summer Rolls w/ Coconut-Ginger Dipping Sauce
This summer has been gorgeous, but this last month has been so rainy here! The good news is that my garden is getting so big and I have been getting tons of kale and lettuce out already. There is something special about growing your own food. Even with some rainy days, I seem to crave light, fresh food in the summer.
