Vegetarians: What have you eaten today?

Sounds lovely @Ledzeptt are you eating more , hope so .. x
Thanks @Kat100 I'm eating well at the moment.

I was inspired by you and @Avocado Sevenfold to make your fridge cake. I used more nuts (100g) and orange extract rather than coconut and cinnamon. Smells good and I can't wait to try it later!
 
I have a sour Cherrie tree. In small amounts they don't rise my BG. I am going to try those in that recipe.
Yummy.
I am so envious. I had about 3 cherries on my tree this year. An improvement on the one cherry the year before. I daren't pick them in case the pesky pigeons see me doing it
 
These frozen courgettes are a bit rubbish Never mind. Here is my aubergine tray bake without the aubergines. Used a tin of artichoke hearts instead. With blobs of spicy muhammara and Lidl garlic soldiers. Fridge cake for later.

I have to put netting over it for sure birds and squirrels love them. Our neighbour also has a cherry tree so it helps with cross pollination.
I have a bunch in the freezer. Won't be quite the same but still yummy I think.

Oh I love Muhammra. Making some for dinner tonight.
Yours looks great with the veggies.
 
I've had no problem in Sainsburys......so far...... only just gotten to like them too so hope I can still get them as I need them..I doubt very much they would freeze
 
Can you tell me what "Golden milk" is please? I've seen it in a few posts and I'm intrigued
Thanks
 
Guilty as charged but I do eat veggie meals as much as "meat" meals...if not more....
 
Today:

B: Jamie's granola dust

L: Veg soup and bread

D: Quorn enchiladas, rice, refried beans & guacamole. Chocolate orange Katfridge cake - very nice, thanks to @Kat100
 
Thank you. I shall need to get some turmeric. I believe that the black pepper in the paste is also good for joint inflammation. I have arthritis as well as pre-diabetes so it will be good for me on both counts.....
 
@Avocado Sevenfold - Have you tried the Turmeric Paste in yoghurt at all? I love turmeric, and use it a fair amount in cooking, so I'm curious.
Hi AB I haven't tried it in yoghurt, only in warm almond milk.

On the Michael Mosley TV programme about the benefits of turmeric, an experiment found that it was more beneficial when heated with fat. For that reason, I don't think it would be so effective in yoghurt. They are still looking into it though.

"But why did we see changes only in those eating turmeric, not in those taking the same amount as a supplement?

Dr Kirsten Brandt, who is a senior lecturer at Newcastle University and who helped run the experiment, thinks it may have something to do with the way the turmeric was consumed.

"It could be," she told me, "that adding fat or heating it up makes the active ingredients more soluble, which would make it easier for us to absorb the turmeric. It certainly gives us something, to work on, to try to find out exactly what's happening."
 
Interesting, I've started taking turmeric paste and giving it to the dog as well. I'm awaiting a silicon mould to arrive so I can freeze the paste into pill shapes

Hope the doggy likes it. I keep mine in a jar in the fridge. Lasts for a couple of weeks and is vey quick and handy at breakfast time.

How is your low carb veggie challenge going?
 

I think I'll make a batch anyway as I'm sure it's easier to use in paste format, rather than being paranoid about staining worktops and so on. If I don't like it in my yoghurt, it'll be used in other things, like pretendy-saffron cauli rice and curries etc.

I also fancied the turmeric chicken from the same site, but might just use the turmeric paste as a marinade, with or without a few additions......

Life's an adventure.

I'll do my lines for mentioning the fowl.
