Hello!
A week has gone by since my last post and whilst I have studying to do, I thought I should share some photos of what I’ve been eating over the past week. Whilst there aren’t any recipes, the photos will give you an idea of what a gluten free, vegan girl eats. Most days I have lots of salad and fruit but on the days where I cook, here’s what I enjoy.
This was a lazy fruit salad that I bought from Marks and Spencer; mango, melon and blueberry.
A simple red pepper, yellow pepper, and carrot stir-fry sauted with olive oil, ginger, garlic, tamari and dried thyme; served with brown rice and peas.
Ahh, I had this salad after an awesome yoga session. It’s just green leaves, celery, red onion, and cashews dressed with a bit of hummus and balsamic vinaigrette.
This was my first attempt at miso soup and our first taste of tempeh. This tempeh had bits of sea vegetables in. Not sure if I enjoyed the tempeh- it has quite a strong almost cheese like taste. Maybe it just didn’t work with the miso soup. Anyway, I stir-fried the tempeh with some vegetables and ginger then added it to the miso soup. Loved the miso soup though.
I’m off to do some research about the specific needs of providing nursing care to elderly patients, before I head off to do a late shift. Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday 
I used to not like tempeh, until I saw someone steam it for 15 or 20 minutes; I asked why they did that and I think they said it stops the fermentation process and makes it milder tasting. So now I either steam it or boil it in veggie stock before using–it is much tastier and way less old sock kinda flavor!
Interesting, thanks for the tip! Will have to try it cooked that way.
