Quick Plant based Breakfast

banana-outmeal Recently I’ve been Craving sweets which is Highly unusual. I have no clue what has caused it but its there and seems like it won’t go away. Since married I’ve gained about 6pounds which is quite dangerous Haha. Some say that they are impressed I have not gained more. The only thing I tell them is “I’ve gained but I do my best Not to go crazy”. Long story short… I’m going to share my mind set with you all. Eat as healthy as You can and You can do it even if it looks impossible. I know that the prices are high, and Organics maybe false at times.. but the key is not giving up. If you were to see the tags on this blog article you’ll see I Only put ‘weight control’ because It may Not work for everyone. However You could lose weight doing this.

  • Ingredients: Whole oats, Rolled Oats, Organic Oats Or Quaker Oats. Any form of these oats will work for Weight Control. For weight loss would be organic Whole Oats  and Only oats if you google ‘Oatmeal Diet’ you’ll find it But I  don’t agree nor disagree. I’m more promoting mindset of “this is healthy, this is a healthier option then a poutine”.
  • Water, 1 cup boiling.
  • Half a cup oats.
  • 1 cup choice fruit.
  • Half a cup mixed nuts. I use the ones that contain raisins.
  • You may make this into many things it doesn’t only have to be in a bowl. It can be a mason jar breakfast. You would do it at night ,before bed and put it in the fridge. It can be made into a smoothie you would use 3/4 a cup of oats. Oat bars Or cookies.
  • *Optional: weight loss
  • drink 1 glass cold water with half lime squeezed into it or 1 tbsp orange juice,.
  • Whole oats 1 full cup to 1 full cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Snack will be black coffee 1 cup or 1 cup Matcha or green tea.
  • Lunch and dinner are the same as breakfast and its done for max a week no added fruits nuts or other. Snacks are drinks this is part of what I’ve found as an Oat diet. Then after the week is over you add fruits and such.
  • My personal reason for OATS. I do not want to binge on easy foods simply because I’m a plant based eater. I don’t want. donuts and such so I opted for oats.

see you next time love always Modern Wife

 

Veggie nut

20160519_145428

‘Veg nut’

Very quick under 20 min and very inexpensive. Im working really hard trying to Only put what is accessible, can be substituted and quick meals on this blog. Holidays are one of the many vacations of the year where Cooking becomes such a Drag. Instead of enjoying with family we run around like Chickens without a head trying to please people. This year, Simple is better for us and it can be elegant too.

For the Vegetarians I have a yummy quick dish.

Ingredients:

Veg of choice. I used 7 portabello mushrooms, half red capsicum, 2green chives, 1/3egg plant and 2stalk cilantro.

1tsp sesame peanut butter oil, 1tsp soy sauce, 1tsp vegetable butter , half a cup of water and 1 veg bullion.

Cooking:

  • Slice all veg.  Put pan on med (6). Let the pan heat for 4min add add 1/2 cup water. Note: if water sizzles or bubbles Instantly add Bullion.
  • 1min after adding bullion Add sliced veg and lid. This will allow veg to steam. Steam until soft yet crunchy (do not let your veg get mushy it looses vitamins). Aprox 4 min.
  • Add butter and lower heat to 3. Stir all veg into butter.
  • Add 1tsp sesame peanut butter oil, 1tsp soy sauce (optional 1 slice ginger). Cook without lid for 2 min (make sure sesame peanut butter oil is well mixed with All veg).
  • SERVE hot with white rice , garden salad Or tofu.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you made this recipe and how it turned out? 😀

For westerners this is very hot spicy.

Christmas Spice :p

Sometimes for Christmas we don’t want to bring something bland or maybe its One of those themed parties. Well I’ve been away for a while because I have been trying to come up with yummy dishes for Christmas / New years potluck parties.

Indian mutton is a meat dish. Although beef is not used in India. Beef can be a substitute in Western countries. Typically goat is used as their mutton in India. It may take up to 6hours to make, even with a crock pot or slow cooker. However Walmart offers a mechanically tenderized Beef that has been rolled in spices. You can find it in the Beef section. The label will say “Ready for slow cooker, mechanically tendqerized Beef”.

Ingredients:

Beef the quickest to cook is the one I said above from Walmart. Mine was 0.879kg ($12).

  • 1 red onion sliced.
  • 2 tomatoes diced.
  • 1 mangal keehma masala package.
  • 5 cups Basmati rice.
  • 2 hot small green chillies.
  • 1Cup frozen mix veg.
  • 4tbspoon ghee.
  • 1/2 teaspoon tandoori masala.
  • A pinch chili powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger and grind.

  • Cooking : slice your meat so that it will cook quicker. Chop whatever may feel harder on your meat.
  • Add 4cups of water to your pot and put on high.
  • Add your sliced meat and cover.
  • In a separate pan out your 4tbs ghee. Cook on med (6 on my stove ). Until melted and bubbles appear 1min.
  • Add onion and 2 (hot)small green chillies. Cook until onion is caramelized (light brown).
  • Add diced tomatoes, 1/2teaspoon of mangal paste to onions and cook for 1min.
  • Check your meat! if your meat’s water is boiling up then let it cook for 1more minute.
  • To your Meat Pot add the onion and tomatoes.
  • Add your ginger, garlic cloves, chili powder, pinch Kosar salt (optional), teaspoon tandoori masala and the rest of the Magal masala paste package. Stir once.
  • Lid and lower heat to medium (my stove 6). Cook for 10min.
  • Stir meat after your first 10min on med. Lid again.
  • Leave your meat for another 10min on med.
  • While you wait. Make your Rice.
  • In a rice cooker add teaspoon oil 1slice onion and lid, cook for 2min.
  • To rice cooker add rice and water to cover it. There should be an inch of just water above the rice.
  • Add the frozen veg to the rice. Lid and let it cook.
  • After your rice is cooked let it sit on warm for 10min.
  • Back to your meat. Lower the heat to 3 or low for another 10min.
  • At this point you can check your rice if it’s still hard add a tablespoon water and leave it on warm for 5min . Then disconnect it or put it on low for 5min.
  • After that remove the lid and cover with a napkin for 5min. And remove napkin then put lid back on.
  • Check your meat!!! At this point your meat should be very soft tender juicy and ready to eat. If it is not then Add 2tablespoons of white vinegar.
  • Lower your meat pot to 2 for another 10min and stir.
  • If still not soft enough stir and lower to 1 or min. Then let it sit for 5min.
  • SERVE with roti, naan, sliced boiled eggs, on rice (I choose rice).
  • Remember to Enjoy! It taste delicious!!

Bibimbap Veg

20160702_222022_resized.jpgg

Veg Bibimbap. A fav dish of mine. I only really make it for special me days 😀 Its very quick and under 20minutes to make. Obviously I am Not a Korean chef but I think it tasted pretty amazing. Anyway as always lets get to how to make this. Enough for 1 person add double ingredients for 2 people.

Ingredients: 2 cups Rice ,2 mushrooms, 2 small carrots, half an avocado,1 teaspoon sushi rice vinegar.  a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon sesame, 2 cilantro with stem, 4pea pods(peas inside), rice cooker and 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce.

  1. Take all your veg of choice and thinly slice them. Unfortunately my knife sucked and I could not slice them thin enough But you want to slice your veg to half the size of my Veg above in this picture.
  2. Cook your 2cups of rice in rice cooker with 1 teaspoon sushi rice vinegar. Add a pinch salt. Let rice cooker cook.
  3. Now that rice is cooked, place rice at bottom of bowl and layer veg ontop. Layer the veg so that each veg of its kind will sit closely to each other going around in the bowl. I began layering the heaviest veg which were the carrots then avocado, mushrooms, and lettuce so forth.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sesame over top of veg and poor your 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce into a container.
  5. Enjoy! typically they are to be mixed together and usually served hot but this is a Quick meal. Trust me it will still taste amazing. *As an option you could purchase Red Korean paste at a Korean market. You can also add shredded sushi seaweed and bean sprouts.

ps. Oh yeah I didn’t find my sushi soy holder so I bought new cig plates and use them as my soy holder.

Until next time love always Modern Wife.

Butter Chicken …without chicken

20161206_170333Butter chicken… It is well known for its spice and its delectable chicken. Yet this HUGE picture above does not own a Butthurt chicken. I mean chicken.. ( I hear you saying lame pun). Moving on to the cooking part. It should take 30min  Or less.

Ingredients:

Butter Chicken sauce (no I will not show you how to attempt the sauce from scratch. Specifically because this recipe will then take too long). -1 cup Frozen mixed veg, 1 tomato, ghee, basmati rice, turmeric, naan and sweet potato. *Optional Chicken 😀

  1. Cook basmati rice as indicated on package. Add 1 teaspoon ghee (instead of oil), half teaspoon turmeric (WARNING TURMERIC STAINS).
  2. Cut potatoes into 4 and put to boil (approx 10min) with 1tablespoon ghee. Make sure potato does Not get soggy.
  3. Put your sauce in a pan and put on low heat. Then add 1 natural (not canned) sliced tomato. Lid it and let it cook.
  4. Stir rice once ,let it sit in rice cooker with no heat on for 3min.
  5. Take potatoes and place in pan with sauce. Increase heat to med add 1 teaspoon ghee if desire.
  6. Add cup of frozen veg and cook until veg is soft (approx 4min).

Enjoy! Serve with naan, rice, sauce and veg.

*You can also do this with chicken. Once your chicken is cooked, simply add it to the sauce at the same time as the potato.

Until next time Love always Modern Wife.
