Pink Summer Oatmeal

As Joey Tribbiani would've said "That's like summer in a bowl!"



I cooked the oats in soymilk with a squirt of agave syrup and cinnamon and added the frozen raspberries and mango afterwards. Tried to eat a little more raw here =p

It was delicious! The flavor of the mango paired with raspberries... mhhhhhh!!!

Later I'll make the Banana Coffee Cake Ruby just made, because I have a few more-than-ripe bananas and I totally drooled when I saw it in her post. Just look at the picture... yumm!

Sandwiches, Bagels and a Spicy Tomato-Veggie Soup

A few days ago I had the fabulous combination of PB, Jelly and banana on a rye toastie, which I would've never thought of hadn't it been for some of you bloggers! So thanks!



I also bought a mini Ciabatta with Bear's Garlic... not the best buy. It smelled like feet - and sadly didn't taste much different =(



And yesterday I made a yummy Tomato-Veggie Soup. I put in more chili powder than I had intended to, but as the boyfriend put it it was "a pleasant spicyness"!
My best PB friend brought bagels: sunflower seed, everything and spinach! And it really did taste like spinach =D



I sautéed a big onion and 3 cloves of garlic in veggie broth, added a green and a red bell pepper, cauliflower and broccoli, about 2 cups each, 1 zucchini and a pack tomato puree, two jars of crushed tomatoes and about 3 Tbsp. tomato paste, lots of oregano, some rosemary, paprika and chili powder, salt and pepper. No oil needed =)

If it ain't art... then I don't know!

This is so amazing!

Probably every person I know has seen this, it's spreading fast! Maybe you've already seen it, too. I figured since you're into graffiti Lindsay, you might be a fan of street art aswell =)

It doesn't fail to amaze me every single time. All the work they must've put into this... I'm seriously speachless.

I can only say Kudos to the artist!!!

Passing time by donating Rice!

I just came across this site and thought others might be interested.

Deliciousness on top & inside of a Wrap

I bought a black olive tapenade a few days ago! It's soooo delicious and I like to spread it on every sandwich I make now ;)



Yesterday I used a tortilla, a layer of baked beans in tomato sauce, cucumber slices, then cherry tomatoes, on top of that lots of baby spinach and the perfection on top: red beets! Then I rolled it up, spread it with a thin layer of cream cheese and some olive tapenade.

I was worried the red beet might not taste that good in combination with tomatoes, but it was an incredibly tasty wrap! Oh how I love red beets!!!

Quinoa Pesto-Asparagus -Tomato Salad

I've come up with this idea when my sister had a pesto noodle salad in Amsterdam. As good as my idea was I chose a rather bad day to make the salad — I had too little pine nuts, used too little garlic and the tomatoes tasted like nothing.



But I'll definitely make this again! This time with the perfect pesto and sundried tomatoes! This is exactly the flavor it was lacking.

Tofu Tortellini with Spinach, Broccoli & Zucchini and Nutmeg Sauce

Another perfect example for my I-don't-really-know-what-I'm-cooking-here-until-when-it's-done / random-throwing-together-of-appealing-ingredients-found cooking.



I cooked up a recent purchase: multi-colored tortellini with a tofu filling. They were nice, but the filling was a little bland.

Then I checked the freezer and settled on a cup of spinach and six broccoli florets although the brussels sprouts were quite appealing, too. Then I cut half a zucchini and put it all into a pot. Seasoned it with nutmeg, onion & garlic powder (can you tell I was being lazy? =p), salt and pepper and decided that I needed a sauce to go with it. So I quickly remembered the cream cheese in my fridge and veganized a quick unfancy version of the sauce I usually used to eat my tortellinis with.
One Tbsp. of cream cheese mixed with a little less than 1/4 cup soy milk. Seasoned with lots of nutmeg and oregano, some salt and pepper et voilá!

I have some blueberries in my fridge slowly starting their way torwards death so I'm thinking Oat Squares (Veggie Girl raved about them), scones (I've wanted to make them ever since la mistress mexicana Jennifer gave me the recipe) or good old-fashioned muffins like Alice made a few days ago! Mhh, so many things to choose from.

This blog world is just too full of inspirational people with amazing skills!
Not that it's a bad thing, ha ha! It just makes it so damn hard to decide =p
