miso millet veggie burgers


the kind of food you make with leftover food. easy to modify according to your own rotting produce. kidding. kind of.

so take about a half cup of cooked millet and add it to the bowl of your food processor with mushrooms, shredded carrot and a spoonful of miso. add in ginger, garlic, braggs liquid aminos and nutritional yeast. give it a whirl. taste and adjust flavors. add in a cup or two of oats- just enough to bring it all together.

drop by spoonfuls into a hot frying pan and cook on both sides until crispy and delicious.

eat plain-jane or on some bread or a corn tortilla with mashed avocado and tons of cilantro and lime.
 

summer fruit + chia spice yogurt




this is hardly a recipe. fruit in a bowl, whatever you like and in quantities you prefer. greek yogurt with some chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger and agave if you like it sweet (I do).
mix the yogurt. mix into the fruit. eat. hurrah.


lately I have been trying to add in some good organic yogurt with lots of beneficial bacteria in an attempt to make my belly a happy camper- so this is a scientific experiment, basically. yum.

corn tortillas





homemade and gluten free!

I've been wanting to make corn tortillas by hand for a long time now and at long last the time came! it's very very simple. more time consuming than a microwavable burrito but infused with all the happy loving energy of human goodness. I also made mine very garlicky. human goodness might taste of garlic too.

basically you buy some masa, put it in a bowl with salt and garlic if you like, and add water until it is a play-dough consistency. flatten it out with a rolling pin or something heavy, and pan fry on both sides until slightly charred and totally gorgeous. this website has more precise directions if you want that. I know you will love these.

miso ginger plant bowl





here we have:

 sauteed kale 
 broccoli
crispy tofu
 ginger mushrooms
spaghetti squash
alfalfa sprouts
charred peppers
crazy awesome miso sauce


dinner eaten from a bowl, as usual. this was a nice little recovery meal after a weekend of family get together where thomas ate burgers and I ate chips and pickles and ice cream cake. it's nice to have fun food but we miss vegetables! this was literally plant on plant goodness.

 if you are at all interested, these are some of the most incredible, though common, inexpensive and easy-to-find foods. they are very medicinal and especially with the addition of the miso, which is super healing, and the ginger and garlic, which are all anti-inflammatory, anti-sickness, and dare I say it, anti-cancer. also delicious! the sauce was made by blending half of an avocado, maybe half a cup of chickpeas, and the miso, ginger, garlic, bragg's liquid aminos, nutritional yeast and a little water. very salty but it balanced everything nicely. incredible.
