"Meat-patty" Bake with Supper

At least twice a week, we put a huge spread on the table. The point is to make enough for leftovers for at least one meal, at least with the entrees. Concerning salads, my family rips through a whole huge salad almost every meal so there is rarely any left over, so come the next meal, we've gotta put another huge salad together. A lot of work when in a hurry, but then we have to focus on the positive - it's a great toxin remover from the body and everyone is trying to stay as toxin-free in out chemical infested world as we can.

The menu tonight is toss salad, spaghetti squash, lightly steamed broccoli, lightly boiled green beans spiced with fresh ginger, and "Meat-patty" Bake. The closest version of the "Meat-patty Bake" isn't for me. It has a soy sauce marinade with fungus (mushrooms) and high-glycemic carrots, but I'll bet that fermented soy sauce marinade rocked! Yum, used to love that stuff. My "Meat-patty" Bake had just a simple garlic and seasonings infused olive oil drizzled on top. It was pretty good. I think I would prefer just dipping my "meat-patty" in some pesto or infused olive oil. I think the baking the second time around was unnecessary ... but that's what the "normal" world does - bake and bake and bake their food. Hmmm, on that.

green beans boiled with slivers of ginger - very tasty and no salt needed

yummy spaghetti squash - the dark colors are the seasonings that baked into the squash

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of my version. This version with carrots and mushrooms is NOT mine,
but the vegie "meat" patties themselves were the same.

Bittermelon Okinawan Style

According to my health-conscious Philippina friend, bittermelon is very nutrition, especially for women as it's iron-rich. Well, what female doesn't need bittermelon ... but a word of caution for the unsuspecting, the vegie ... is ... very ... bitter. I actually like it, but I'm not going to eat it like I would a cucumber, although it goes very nicely raw mixed equally with cucumber. In that kind of salad, I grate the bittermelon and cut the cucumber in thin rings. With some cherry tomatoes or a little lemon juice and salt, it's quite the nice salad. This recipe I bumped into online and just wanted to try it. I prefer not to cook my vegies if I can help it, but hey, an experiment today ["today" being a month ago]. Bittermelon with Egg and Onions Bittermelon with egg and onions, also called goya chanpuru in Japanese, and it is an Okinawan delicacy. I was telling my Philippina friend about it because she introduced me to this exotic healthy "treat...

Sunflower Black-eyed-pea Hummus

The black-eyed-peas were cooked overnight in a slow cooker; otherwise, this recipe too would be raw. I'm experimenting with protein and fiber-rich foods like beans, but still want to maintain a very high percentage of raw in my diet. This is pretty good. One thing about black-eyed-peas is that they can be eaten straight out of the crock pot without any seasonings, including salt. There's just something satisfying about their flavor that seems complete. Adding a just a touch of cumin and turmeric does bring out their flavor a lot though. Sunflower Seed and Black-eyed-pea Hummus 1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked and drained 1 cup cooked black-eyed-peas with 1/2+ cup bean broth 2-3 large garlic cloves 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (optional) cumin turmeric sea salt The hummus spread on the raw,dehydrated lentil cracker (this one shaped like a personal pizza). My personal pizza - raw lentil cracker for the crust, hummus, cilantro pesto, fresh parsley and chopped tomatoes.
