Becoming a mom has been momentous. In my life I am no longer the focus. Center stage is Ayla. Some days I am so enamored with my role, that this fact doesn't matter. Other days I wonder, "Where am I?" My day starts at 7:30am and ends some time around bedtime. There is little room for my own desires and wishes. Like time to myself. So consequently I often find myself struggling to make the food that I want to cook all the time, if I had all the time. However, I have found a compromise. I have decided to carve time for my health and therefore ultimately my family's health. I am making a commitment to eat a Vegan meal at least once a week. This is my first attempt and the meal is an adaptation from Myra Kornfeld's "Voluptuous Vegan."
The Menu:
Orange and Ginger Tofu Triangles
Arame Salsa
Citrus Scented Basmati Rice with Cinnamon and Cumin
Teriyaki Vegetable
This meal was absolutely delicious! It is super filling and healthy. I especially loved the seaweed salad, it was incredibly refreshing because it included cucumber, cilantro and a little jalapeno to give it some kick.
Most people are a little hesitant when it comes to seaweed. They think it will taste "fishy" or are just not sure how to prepare it. The arame salsa was a perfect dish for anyone that has ever wanted to make seaweed.
By law I am not able to reproduce the recipe for the internet, and since I tend to be a law abiding citizen and want to stay that way I cannot write the whole recipe here. However, if you are interested in cooking this meal yourself, drop me an email. I'd be happy to share the recipes with you!
