Scrumptious! Hmm well i suppose it's debatable. Personally I have a thing for healthy, hearty food. you know the kind you can eat until your well full and not feel like your organs are straining to digest everything. If you grew up on a steady diet of Doritos and Mountain Dew (sometimes i wish i had) then you might not actually taste this food as you eat it but I find the more I incorporate healthy, veggie-filled vegan meals into my diet the more i appreciate the rich and subtle flavors of a proverbial cornucopia of vegetables, legumes and grains!
On the left: A sweet potato star - basically just threw four small potatoes into the microwave with a paper towel over them and microwaved on high for 5, flipped them and another 5! Don't forget to poke a few holes so it looks like you actually did some cooking (haha, i don't know if it's even necessary but i did it).
Kale, Red and Green Peppers and Onions Sauteed with Cashews - Basically throw in the chopped onions with a little olive or canola oil and then cut the peppers and throw them in and then after 5 minutes on high heat rinse, rip and toss in the moist kale and throw a lid on the pot for another 5. Finsih with a spritz of soy sauce and a pinch of basil and sugar. top with crushed cashews.
On the right: Throw some pearled barley in a pot and cover with water plus half an inch and a drop of oil and salt. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for about an hour (don't fret this is when you start the other dish)
Another onion diced in a pot with a drop of oil on high heat. Cut up the carrots like they do in cartoons (little coin shapes) and throw those in and halve a bunch of brussel sprouts and toss those in. pour in about an eighth of a glass of water and cover so everything steams. 5 minutes later lose the cover and throw in some balsamic vinegar and a pinch of pepper, basil and sugar. saute another 5 and your set!
Well i liked it anyway!
