Thought you were rid of me

Okay, so I haven't made a post since my job started. Well it's been hard and I've been tired so :-P
This post will be an amalgamation of whatever the hell recipes I remember from the past month. Enjoy.

Lunches
I've been trying to take my lunch to work as often as possible. Partly because the office is in the middle of nowhere Brampton and you literally have to drive to get anywhere that sells food. Some of the things I've brought are:

• Sandwichs: Almond Butter and Raspberry jam; Cucumber, Tomato and Toffuti cheese slices; Toffuti herb and garlic faux cream cheese with vegetables; Tofurky Hickory Smoked sandwich slices with mustard, lettuce and tomato
  
• Amy's brand Frozen meals
• Fruits
• Wheat thin crackers and Mr. Christie's cocoa wafers
• Left overs

I've also gone out to lunch with coworkers or by myself if I laze out and don't make something. I've gotten Thai Express, Terriyaki with Tofu, Giant Salad, Sushi, and a Veggie Burger.

I've been trying to still cook when I can. I've made Creamy Curry Vegetables with Jasmine Rice (picture above) and Chickpea Noodle Soup. One night I made Artichokes, Brown rice (with a little lemon and thyme), and warmed up some Gardein chick'n in dijon mustard sauce.

Peace.

More beans!

I tried another new bean recipe yesterday. You're supposed to eat a ton of them for fiber and stuff. This time I made Larry's Re-Fried Beans from 'How it all Vegan.' (This was the first vegan cook book I ever bought and I'm still finding awesome new recipes in it.) They were really good. All the right herbs (including fresh cilantro, which I wouldn't have thought of on my own) and some tomato. You're supposed to mash them up with a fork after you cook them, but I just left them in bean form.
To go with the beans I made some fancy brown rice. It went like this: 1/2 cup short grain brown rice + half a cup wild brown rice, cooked in 3 cups of water with a tbsp of Omega 3 oil (a mix of flax seed oil, olive oil and grape seed oil that I bought), and 1 tsp marjoram. After it cooks, add 1 tsp salt and 1/4 cup (ish) of flax seeds.
Whole dish pictured above, plus peas.
Turned out really delicious. I ate it with some lemon juice squeezed on top, which worked better than I expected.

For dinner a few nights ago I made Asparagus with mushrooms and brown rice.
I didn't have a recipe, was mostly just playing around. I chopped up a bunch of asparagus (cut off and dispose of the ends first) and cooked them in olive oil with chopped mushrooms, 4 cloves of garlic, chopped green onions salt, margerame and thyme in a covered sauce pan. Put the mushrooms in first and let them cook covered for a while until they let out some of their juice.
To the rice I added steak seasoning, margarine, onion powder, salt, and flax seeds.

I also had some Blackberries. I freaking love blackberries. Seriously, I can't think of a better snack than a bunch of blackberries.
