Tomato soup and olive tapenade

Yoyo. Had some leftover tomato puree i wanted to use, and some black olives, so why not make tomato soup and black olive tapenade then :D (actually i made the black olive tapenade yesterday and had leftovers today, but it was yummy together so heck why not xD)

For the soup i used:
Tomato puree
Water
Dried mint
Olive oil
Vegetable bullion
Alphabet pasta (other pasta also works)
Salt
Pepper
Lemon juice

Basically i just boiled the ingredients until the pasta was done :p and ye i didnt measure the ingredients xD

For the olive tapenade i used:
Black olives
Garlic
Vegetable oil
Salt
Pepper

This i blended. Also here i didnt measure.

This tapenade is perfect on roasted bread with vegan margarine on :D

Very delicious :D

My Xmas 2015

Yoyo everybody, merry xmas! =D

I'm still alive, even though it doesnt seem like it from my posting frequencies xD

So yesterday i celebrated xmas with my family. As usual norwegian tradition i made xmas rice pudding or whatever it's called in english for lunch, made with porridge rice, soy + coconut milk, vanilla powder, sugar, and grounded almons. With cinnamon, raisins and vegan margarine on top =p Very delicious =D

They got a new vegan margarine in Norway now that was actually whiter than my rice pudding as you can see on the picture, which i found a bit funny, cuz normally the margarine/butter is yellow =p
Also my vegan rice pudding was darker in color than my families non-vegan rice pudding =p


After eating we visited my grandparents for a short while before we drove back home (or i drove back home because i'm training for my driving licence). Then i prepared the nut roast that i would have for dinner. I used the recipe that i always use on veg-veg their sites, except i used some more nuts, regretting i didn't make even more =p Guess i'll write the ingredients on my blog so i have it here for later =p

Ingredients:
200 g mixed nuts (i used cashews, brazil nuts, almonds, peanuts, walnuts)
100 g crumbled bread
1 chopped onion
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon spice mix (i used paprika, cloves, ginger, pepper, chili, garlic, nutmeg)
1 cube vegetable bullion
1,5 dl boiling water
salt and pepper

So i did the nuts and bread in my food processor until it was chopped into pieces, sauted the onion and garlic in the oil, then i added all the ingredients in a bowl and spiced it as much as i wanted, then did it in an oiled bread shape, covered with aluminium foil, and baked in the oven on 180°C for about 1 hour.

Next to the nutroast i had boiled potatoes, brown sauce, mashed rutabaga, mushrooms, onions, brussel sprouts, and lots of soy sauce =p

After eating we opened the presents.

Here's what i got:

A purse, 2 different cooking books, vegan chocolate, tvp chuncks, mini cake shapes, touchscreen gloves, lavendel smelling candle light, hand soap, sweater, pizza pan, circular glass shape, power plug thingy, huge pillow and cash =p

Pretty nice gifts, i'm very happy for all of them =D

After opening gifts we wanted to watch the movie "The Holiday". Sadly we didn't have the dvd in our house, so we tried streaming it. Sadly internet wasn't in a very cooperating mood (slow and falling out), so we could watch about 10 minutes before we had to load it for like 5 minutes to continue watching it, so we only got 49 minutes into the movie before we gave up xD

It was a nice xmas for me and i got a lot of cool stuff that i wanted, yummy food, and i had a nice time together with my family =D I hope everyone else had a nice xmas aswell =D

Raspberry ice cream

Today for breakfast i decided to have raspberry ice cream (although it's cold and not sunny outside xD). Because i have frozen bananas i went for the easy, healthy version =p I also added some leftover vegan yoghurt i had =p I let the frozen fruit rest a bit in the food processor before i started it so it wouldn't be too heavy for the food processor to chop the frozen fruits =)

Ingredients:
Frozen banana
Frozen raspberries
Vegan yoghurt (optional)

Put ingredients in food processor and blend =p Enjoy =D Very delicious, healthy, easy and fast =p Can also be made with different berries =p

Shepherdess Pie

So, time for a recipe again =p I had some leftover boiled potatoes, onion, tomato, carrots, cauliflower and chinese cabbage that needed to be used in the fridge, along with some freshly purchased, boiled and frozen black eyed beans in the freezer, so that sounds pretty much like a shepherdess pie to me (except it's normally made with lentils as far as i know xD) I didn't really measure or follow any recipe (but i looked at some recipes for inspiration), but just added what seemed to be a reasonable amount of each ingredient (typically the remaining of what i had laying around) xD

Ingredients (with +- my use in paranthesis):

Tomato sauce:
Onion (+- 0.5)
Garlic (1 clove)
Tomato (+- 1/4th cuz that's what i had, would have used more if i had more =p)
Carrot (2)
Cauliflower (+- 1/2 kinda small)
Chinese cabbage (+- 1/3 small)
Black eyed beans (+- 1,5 dl, other beans or lentils can also be used)
Canned tomatoes (1 400g can)
Tomato paste (+- 1 tablespoon)
Sugar (+- 2 teaspoons)
Bullion cube (1)
Spices (i used pizza spice, oregano, thyme, paprika, fresh basil, salt)
Water if needed

Mashed potatoes:
Boiled potatoes (i had like bit less than 500 g maybe?)
Vegan margarine (1-2 tablespoons)
Plant milk (i used oat milk, dunno howmuch though)
Salt and pepper

Chop veggies in small pieces, saute them and add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, bullion cube, sugar and spices (i added my basil at the end). Add water if needed. Simmer for a while then add beans (add earlier if not cooked). Make mashed potaoes (i guess everyone knows how to). Taste if they both taste good and add more salt or spices if needed. Pour the tomato sauce in an ovenproof dish and distribute the mashed potatoes on top. Here you can have some vegan cheese on top for extra yumminess =p Into the oven on 200°C for like 20 minutes or more =)

Enjoy =D

Sundays lunch and dinner

Seems it's been a while since i've posted any food that i've made, so i guess it's time for a little update =p

Yesterday i decided to make pizza since i had bought some out of date pepperoni slices from vbites for half price (and violife cheese since i wanted to put the pepperoni slices on pizza).

I had some leftover yeast too so i also made cinnamon rolls with that, and some without cinnamon because my boyfriend doesn't like cinnamon, but seems he didn't want to taste them either :x I made half portion and dropped the cardamom, but added some vanilla sugar instead. I also used 1/3 whole wheat flour to pretend to be healthy (and used 1/3 extra sugar cuz it fell too much into my measuring cup... so much for being healthy :x). Personally i liked the cinnamon rolls and seems someone else in my boyfriends house also dared to taste (most of the time they don't dare to taste what i make), and they liked it too =) I ate like half of them and i still had half over that i put in the freezer so they wouldn't go dry. It's nicer with my family in Norway, they would have eaten all =p

So to the pizza. This one was kinda fail. First off i used to much whole wheat flour that it is darker than most of the dark breads (i think 50% is when they can call it dark?). The crust kinda tasted like dark bread (healthy ftw xD). Personally i didn't mind, but i think i'll use more white flour next time and less of the whole wheat one xD Secondly, i first baked it too short so the crust tasted like sponge, so i had to bake it more. Thirdly, the crust was glued to the pan, so i kinda had to do some effort to get this dark bread crust loose so i could eat it.

Failures aside it was still yummy =)

I'll be so nice that i'll provide +- recipe too =p

Dough:
2-2.5 dl medium temperature water
0.5 bag of yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1-2 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Some pizza spices and nutritional yeast (optional)
Flour until nice consistency

Mix ingredients, knead it and let it rise for some time (i did some hours), then shape to pizza shape =) Use more flour if needed.

Topping:
Pasta sauce
Shredded vegan cheese (i used violife for pizza, it didn't shred though :x)
Onions
Bell peppers
Pizza spices (i think i used oregano, but it didnt say on the box what it was)
Corn
Canned mushrooms
Vbites pepperoni slices
Tomatos
Nutritional yeast

So i guess basically slice and dice and put on what is wanted =p Started with tomato sauce, then cheese then veggies then more cheese =p Into the oven on max temperature (remember to use something below the dough in the pan or pizza stone :x) until it's ready (which depends on oven temperatue and some other stuff and is hard to know, but 20 minutes in my case wasnt enough xD).

Since only me liked the bread crust i pretended it was bread and added chocospread on it xD

Dark bread is always yummier with chocospread ;)

Curried veggies

This was my dinner today =)

Ingredients i used:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
0.5 onion, chopped
0.5 garlic, minced (can use 1 too, i had 0.5 leftover from yesterdays hummus)
1 chilipepper, chopped
1 mushroom, in pieces
1 carrot, in pieces
3 small potatoes, in pieces
Some tablespoons of red curry paste
Soy sauce to taste
2 teaspoons tomato paste
Some dl of water
A little bit of leftover chickpeas
Pepper
Freshly squeezed lemon

I sauteed the veggies, adding water when needed, then i added curry paste, tomato paste and soy sauce and some more water and let it simmer a bit before adding chickpeas. When water was more or less evaporated it was ready to eat so i sprinckled on some pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice =) It's probably yummy with rice, but i figured that out 2 minutes before it was ready to eat, so maybe i should start with boiling some rice next time xD

Pink coconut curry with rice =p

Hihi i love when my food is colored, i should do it more often =D
I made pink coconut curry with rice for breakfast (i sometimes make dinner for breakfast), and i thought it was cute that it was pink, so i decided to post it =p The pinkness comes from the red beet that i added =D

I'm not gonna specify how much of each ingredient i used, and also if anyone wants to make this you can use other ingredients of course =p

Ingredients:
Onion
Garlic
Chili
Red bell pepper
Carrot
Zucchini
Red beet
Cabbage
Celeriac
Coconut milk
Water (i wanted it more liquidish)
Green curry paste (other colors are nice too =p)
Lime juice (i had a little remaining that i wanted to use xD)

Directions:
Chop veggies, stir fry them a bit, add coconut milk, water, curry paste and optionally lime juice and let it simmer for a while. Served with rice or anything else that sounds yummy =p

Foccacia

This is the recipe for foccacia that my mom use, and i enjoy it quite a lot, so i will share the recipe here. It's a very simple and quick recipe, and it yields quite a lot. We have to use the biggest bowl in the house so it wont run over when rising, and in oven its baked in a 30x40 cm cake shape.We freeze the leftovers though =D

You can add the stuff you like in it, personally i like to have olives and sun dried tomatoes inside the foccacia, and salt on top xD

Ingredients:
1 kg flour, it taste best with white, but i normally add some whole grain flour for extra nutrition
20 g salt
1 50g package fresh yeast (or 1 package dry)
1 liter body temperature water

Suggested fillings; olives, sun dried tomatoes etc
Suggested topping; olive oil, coarse salt, rosemary etc

Mix the ingredients together in a big bowl along with the filling (it's simpler adding it here than later).
Cover the bowl with plastic and let the dough raise for about 30 minutes, then put the dough in the cake shape, add the topping and put in oven on 250°C for about 25 minutes.
After it's done, remove the foccacia from the cake shape, and transfer it to a cooling rack.

Enjoy =p

Almond cake with banana and chocolate

I had some remaining almond pulp after trying to make almond milk inspired by oneingredientchef *english*. I also had a brown banana (actually i had 2 xD), and i wanted to make a cake.

I kinda wanted to use the almond pulp as flour, and not as filling, although i drooled a bit at fyrstekake/macaroon cake *norwegian*.

Inspired by veganeren her almond cake with raspberries *norwegian*, and her chocolate chip cookie bars *norwegian*, i decided to make an almond banana chocolate cake xD

Ingredients:
2 dl almond pulp
3 dl flour
2 - 2.5 dl sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.75 dl vegetable oil
3 dl vegetable milk
1+ teaspoon almond essence
1 banana, chopped in pieces (not mashed, i divided mine in 3 lengthwise along the natural division and then chopped in cubes)
100 g chocolate, chopped in pieces

First stir together the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix. Then add the banana pieces and chocolate and mix them carefully into the dough. Put in cake shape sized about 20x30 cm and put in preheated oven on 175°C for about 35 minutes. Check if ready.

Probably best when cooled, but we didn't wait that long, too impatient xD

Sorry for the horrible picture xD It was nice taste though =p

Everyone should also try the almond cake with raspberries on veganeren, it's also really delicious =D <3

My dinner today - Moussaka

Today was really busy at work, there kept coming costumers xD Unlike yesterday when we went hours without any customers xD It's nice though that so many wanted to visit our store today =D

I didnt really have time to eat or drink at work after 11 or so, but i drank a bit orange juice (more like orange pulp xD) after we were closed before i left.

Then i testdrove with my dad around. This time we went to an island i havent been before called Bjorôyna or something. It was pretty nice there =D I wanna drive back there another time =p

When i got home after some chilling i made moussaka =D It was in some recipe collection i found in my local shop (rema 1000, they have like monthly recipe collections in their shops).
This was so yummy i wanted to have the recipe on my blog =p

For about 2 persons:
Red sauce
0.5 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
TVP, i think i did like 1.5-2 dl or something, soaked in warm water along with a veggie bullion, and i also added some taco mix and a little bit of nutritional yeast, but thats not neccesary. Other vegan minced meat style can work also =p then no need to soak unless its dry like TVP
1 tablespoon tomato puree
0.5 can chopped tomatoes (1 can = 400 g)
Salt and pepper to taste

White sauce
25 g vegan margarine (i used alpro <3)
25 g flour
4.5 dl plant based milk (i used oat milk)
1 garlic clove, chopped
Nutritional yeast, to taste. I think i used maybe 3 tablespoons or so
Salt and pepper to taste

1 eggplant
Vegetable oil

For the red sauce: saute onion and garlic, then add TVP, tomato puree, and chopped tomatoes and simmer for a bit. Taste with salt and pepper.

For the white sauce: melt the margarine, stir in the flour, then add bit and bit milk while stirring. Simmer for a while and add nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the eggplant in 0.5 cm thick slices. You can also salt the eggplants if wanted to get out the bitterness. I was too lazy to do this xD

Grease an ovenproof dish and add a layer of eggplant, then a layer of white sauce, then layer of red sauce, then eggplants and sauces again until out of all. Finish with a layer of white sauce. Put in oven on 200°C for about 40 minutes. After removing from oven let it cool for about 10 minutes before eating. Yummy with a salad as side =D

 

And it was really yummy even if the pics arent the best xD

My lunch today - potato and carrot burgers

Hows it going with everyone?

Here i'm sitting at home trying to get some studying done xD

Just had my lunch, which today was some potato and carrot burgers that i found in a cookbook that i got while i was in school. The book is called "Fra boller til burritos" (from buns to burritos).

I had the burgers along with some lettuce, bell pepper and pastasauce. The pastasauce was from a jar, but mixed with juicing leftovers and some extra spicing xD

Ingredients for the burgers:
1 boiled potato, mashed (mine i guess was medium large)
1 carrot, grated (mine was medium large again =p)
0.25 onion, finely chopped
0.5 tablespoon flour
0.25 dl plant based milk
Salt
Pepper

Mix together the ingredients, form burgers and fry in pan until slightly brown on both sides =)

Enjoy ;p

My dinner today - veggieballs

Today for dinner: veggieballs (from veg-veg.no *norwegian*) with salad, tzatziki and oven roasted cherry tomatos (on 200°C for i dunno how long xD). 

Quite yummy =)

Mothersday

Yesterday (9th February) was mothers day in Norway, so i decided to do something nice for my mother =p

When me and my sis and bro were kids we used to give breakfast on bed for this occasion (if i remember correctly xD). Last years though she normally wakes up before us so then it's a bit harder xD

This year i wanted to surprise her with breakfast though so i putted my alarm at 7:30 (but i woke up before 7 xD) and made pancakes (with this recipe from vegetarbloggen *norwegian*). That's my favorite pancake recipe. I replaced half of the flour with whole wheat flour, and i used only half of the sugar, so it would be a bit healthier =p

I figured it would be a bit awkward though if i went into her room with food while she was sleeping, so i cleaned the kitchen a bit instead and made it a bit cozy. Then when she and my dad came, we enjoyed pancakes for breakfast ^.^ (my sister and brother were sleeping so i didn't make for them xD). I forgot to take pictures of the pancakes, but they looked more or less like pancakes xD

Then later i made pineapple upside down cake (recipe from veganeren *norwegian*) and peanut butter cookies with chocolate pieces (recipe also from veganeren *norwegian* who got her recipe from theveganzombie here *english*).

I also had a blueberry banana ice cake in the freezer (basically frozen bananas blended to cream, then frozen blueberries added, followed by some soaked almonds and dates and a bit of vanilla sugar, blended good, put in cake shape and stored in freezer).

Everyones favorite was the pineapple upside down cake. It was really fresh and tasty and so easy to make! I will definitely make it again! :D

The peanut butter cookies with chocolate pieces were also pretty good :p they kinda tasted just like they sound like xD So if you like peanut butter and cookies you will like these cookies :D

The blueberry banana ice cake was nice as well xD This one is more healthy and could probably have a bit better taste xD Actually it is so healthy that you can eat it for breakfast every day without feeling guilty xD It is practically a frozen smoothie, and it can be made with infinite varieties and can be made raw xD

We kids also gave my mom an orchid flower since she likes them :D

So i hope it was a nice day for her =)

Lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn

One of the days i made lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn that i found in one of the cookbooks i have (Fingermat/Greatest ever party food, page 84). It was quite yummy and simple, i should make it again =D
Here's what i did.

Ingredients
55g whole wheat flour
25g vegan butter
1 tablespoon water

45g red lentils
0.75 dl vegetable bullion (i used water+cube)
0.25 - 0.5 onion, chopped
0.5 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5 dl corn
1 teaspoon tomato puree
salt
pepper

Start with mixing ingredients for the pie crust. I had to add bit more water to mine. Put it in fridge while making the filling.
For the filling simmer lentils with the veggie bullion, onion, and bell pepper until lentils are ready. Add more water if needed. Add corn, tomato puree, salt and pepper to taste.
Do the pie crust into a mini-pie shape (about 12 cm diameter) and add the filling.
Place in pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes at 200°C. Enjoy ^.^

Broccoli puree with carrots in pasta sauce

This is bit old post, but finally imported picture to pc so now i'll post =p

I wanted to make broccoli puree for some days =p Before i've made broccoli pesto with pasta a couple of times, but now i wanted to use carrots instead of pasta =p So i went into my closets and found some stuff i wanted to use xD Tasted pretty good too so here's the blog about it =p

The measures are +- what i used (i didnt measure), and i ate everything myself xD

Ingredients:
0.5 broccoli, simmered
1 dl green peas, i used frozen so let them thaw with the broccoli
0.5 onion, in slices then in half moons
1 carrot, peeled in strips
Little bit of red bell pepper in pieces
Pasta sauce (i have no idea how much xD)
Mustard to taste =p
1 tomato, in boats
Chickpeas, maybe 1 dl, i used frozen ones, but canned works too
Yoghurt, i used alpro =p maybe some tablespoons
Soy sauce, to taste
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Simmer broccoli with some of the onion (if you want) until tender (i used like half a slice of the onion), then add peas at the end if they are frozen.
Meanwhile i simmered the remaining onion in some water, then added pasta sauce, peeled carrots, red bell pepper and the tomato. Then i added mustard to taste, and when it was almost done i added chickpeas.
Now the broccoli should be done so i pureed it in my food processor along with some yoghurt. I also added some of the water it boiled with to get a lighter consistency. Then i added soy sauce, salt and pepper and enjoyed =D

Very yummy =D

Veggie lasagne with fennel sauce

Found a lasagne recipe in one of my cook books (donderdag veggiedag, its in dutch though but i guess nice to have if you know dutch xD). It turned out better than expected (sometimes when i cook from recipes, food comes out bit tasteless, but this one was yummy =p)

So i wanted to share recipe =D This one is bit different from the meaty lasagne that i have on the blog from before, since it doesnt have tomato sauce, and it doesnt have milk sauce =o It also doesnt have "meat" xD This one is just veggies =p I made half a lasagne (so i tell what i used, if you want larger then just double it or quadruple). It lasted for 2 meals (or 2 persons if you are so lucky you have someone to share it with)

Ingredients:
Margarine/oil/both/none xD i used both oil and margarine
0.5 fennel, chopped in small pieces
1 yellow or red bell pepper (recipe said yellow since its supposed to be yellow sauce, but i used red since thats what i had), chopped in small pieces
Water to desired consistency (i also added half a veggie stock cube)
Turmeric (i just added until satisfied xD in recipe its safran though but didnt have that)
Salt and pepper until yammie
1 full tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)

Lasagne plates (i used 3), boiled so they are soft

Oil/margarine/water
0.5-1 onion (depending on size), chopped
0.5-1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5-1 eggplant (depending on size), in cubes
About 150 g fresh spinach, chopped
Spices (i used basil, oregano, chili, paprika, salt, pepper, onion)

Pine nuts (or in my case sunflower seeds) as decoration

For the sauce:
Saute the fennel and bell pepper, then add water (and stock cube) to cover the veggies and add turmeric and simmer until veggies are tender. Then puree them with a hand mixer or blender or food processor and add more water if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste and nutritional yeast.

For the veggies:
Saute the onion, then add garlic. Add eggplant and bell pepper and saute more until soft. Then add spices to taste, then add spinach and saute until its ready. I also added some water so i didnt have to use shitloads of oil xD

Assembling:
First do a layer of sauce, then veggies, then lasagne plates, then sauce then veggies then lasagne plates etc, and finish it with a layer of sauce, then spread some pine nuts or sunflower seeds on top, and do in oven for about 15 minutes on 180°C.

Enjoy =D I had a salad with mine for extra green, fresh and crispiness

Sorry for bad photos, took them with phone and they looked nicer on that small screen xD But it's the taste that matters for me, not the looks =p

Provencal bean stew

Made this recipe from one of my cook books, and it was really delicious, so i wanted to share =D

I edited the recipe a little bit (not so much xD), heres what i did. I think it should be for about 2 persons (but i ate everything myself @_@)

Ingredients:
1 onion, i sliced mine in two, then in slices
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, in slices, here i also cut in two then in slices
0.5 chili, chopped
200 g canned tomatoes (half a can)
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 400 g can white beans (i used tomato beans, but other beans probably works also), here i also added the liquid that was in the can =p
Water to desired consistency (mine got maybe bit too much soupy, but i like it like that xD)
1 veggie bullion
1 tablespoon basil spice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
About 0.5 dl black olives, pitted and chopped in half (i didnt measure what i used, probably it was more, and i also added the olive liquid into the stew for extra taste)

Directions:
Saute onion until soft, then add paprika, garlic and chili and saute for about 10 minutes more while stirring every now and then. I sauted in water, so if low on water add more =p Then add canned tomatoes, tomato puree, beans with their liquid, water, bullion and spices to taste. Put the lid on the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes. Then add olives (and olive liquid if you like that) and simmer for 15 minutes more. Then enjoy ^.^

Sorry for the bad photo btw :x

Roasted pumpkin seeds

While eating my pumpkin, i also saved all the seeds (putted them in a box with water in the fridge xD) until i had all the seeds, then i looked up on internet for what to do with them and decided to test out this recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

They turned out way better than last time i tried making roasted pumpkin seeds xD

So first you boil the pumpkin seeds in salty water for about 10 minutes, then you dry them a bit and mix them with oil and salt and spread them on a baking sheet, then you place them high in the oven and roast them on 200°C until they are ready (aka golden brown and crispy). I think mine took about 15-20 minutes.

Was really delicious =D Wanted to buy another pumpkin just for the seeds xD
