This became a cooking motivation (& a bit weightloss) thread I refer back to. Pretty much everything in here is tasty, filling, but also fairly decent for new years resolutions & general weight goals. I try to do fairly natural whole ingredient based cooking. Nearly all plant based, but I do choose some flexibility for occasions or accommodating social stuff.
Mostly I do whole ingredients but plantbased switches have really come along in the last few years. Here I'm making sausage sandwiches! I'm like a trailblazing culinary genius with this amazing idea I invented!!
I will say I really like the Linda McCartney Red Onion & Rosemary bangers. Proper tasty!

So, everyone knows blueberries are healthy right, lots of anti-carcinogens to help us with all the pollution in modern life & food.
Did you know black beans have more antioxidants than blueberries? Kidney beans have more too! garbanzo/chickpeas even higher levels! Lentils are above the lot!
Anyway this salad was yum😋
Lots mixed leaves including arugala/rocket, lambs ear, romaine
Beetroot, carrot, red onion
Lentils, garbanzo
Tofu, kidney beans (I prefer them rinsed if canned)
Fresh cilantro/ coriander
Powdered red chili
Lemon juice
Tamari
Pomegranate balsamic
Tasty dried herb mix I have #Food#cook#vegan#plantbased#wfpb#bearFodder#cooking#salad

When I don't add the leaves, I can make a big lidded bowl of batch salad that will keep in the fridge for most of a week. Make it different each time with whatever is to hand. Some examples:
✅ soy sauce or tamari
✅ garlic (frozen or fresh pressed)
✅ some frozen chopped herbs (coriander here), or dried
✅ chilli flakes & spices
✅ Tumeric and fresh ground black pepper (in particular that 2combo is potent in med studies)
✅ Lemon juice or apple cider
✅ beans
✅ lentils
✅ Tofu
✅ Cucumber
✅ Peppers
✅ Onion (I like red) #Food#cook#vegan#plantbased#wfpb#bearFodder#cooking#salad
Homemade Hummus, garden chives spicy (fries digging goodness)
Quartered a Kalamata olive loaf for the bun (toasted lightly)
tomato red onion ketchup mustard lettuce
a Gro burger (UK co-op plantbased brand) done in the air fryer resting on top of a portion of thick cut potato fries (chips UK) - the plantburger releases some juices, that go sticky on the fries.... heaven

Leftover potatoes and mixed bean & veg red curry (made with a little tahini rather than coconut milk).
I was hungry after workout and not wanting to do anything time consuming so I quickly bulked it up with a can of neutral 100% just pumpkin pie filling (i.e. pumpkin mash) that I stirred some apple cider vinegar, tamari and Togarishi spices through. I also added some of the beetroot sauerkraut I have open & then microwaved everything. #cooking#cook#food#vegan#plantbased#bearFodder#WFPB

Another one for my self-motivation thread.
Steaming mushrooms asparagus peppers & green beans. Making up a bowl of basil & chive dressing. Baking rolls to eat it on. #cooking#cook#food#vegan#plantbased#WFPB

Leftover baked sweet potatoes. Sliced them up. Made dough bases. Blended chickpeas with spices & nutritional yeast in to a hummus (no need for oil), which I spread thickly across. Toppings were sweet potato cherry tomato red onion and peppers, grilled / baked. The result roasted veg hummus pizzas.
The nutriY hummus baked has a really quite cheesy spicy tasty effect, the veg caramelised for sticky yum and it's massively healthier than pizza while tasting superb as it's own thing. #cooking#cook#food#vegan#plantBased#bearFodder#WFPB
