These Super Simple Salmon Cakes make a great dinner for busy weeknights, and are wonderful to have as leftovers with a salad for lunch the next day.
Canned wild-caught salmon is one ingredient to always keep stocked in your pantry. It’s an easy source of protein, omega-3 fats, and B vitamins for smooth metabolic and neurological processes. The pink color of wild salmon comes from their diet of carotenoid-rich crustaceans, which provide the antioxidant astaxanthin. This astaxanthin is then passed along to us to support our skin, eyes, joints, heart, and endurance, and it can protect our cells from oxidative stress. In this recipe, the combination of canned wild-caught salmon with bell peppers, onions, celery, and lemon, to make a flavorful patty that’s perfect on greens or alongside any of your favorite veggies. Makes: 8 patties Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time:10 minutes Ingredients:
Method: 1. Combine the avocado or olive oil along with the bell peppers, red onions, and sea salt in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 5 minutes and stir to avoid burning. 2. While the veggies sauté, combine the salmon, celery, egg, lemon, flax, mayonnaise, and Dijon in a large mixing bowl. 3. Once the veggies are ready, add half into the bowl with salmon and stir to combine. Then add the remaining veggies into the bowl and mix well (this process is to avoid the egg from cooking). Using an ice cream scoop, create 8 balls and tighten them using your hands. Press to create patties. 4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive or avocado oil. Once the pan is hot, add the patties and fry them for 2 ½ minutes per side. 5. Once ready, arrange the patties on top of your favorite greens (such as arugula) and drizzle with any of your favorite condiments. You may use a no-sugar-added hot sauce, but extra Dijon or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice is also great.

Ingredients:
Cauliflower Steaks
Method 1. Preheat Oven to 230C 2. For the cauliflower steaks, remove the darker green leaves and trim the tough stems from the cauliflower. Cut one head of cauliflower in half, then cut a 1 ½-inch thick steak from each half. Repeat with the other cauliflower. You will have lots of extra cauliflower florets. You can roast them as well (see picture). Arrange the steaks and florets (if using) on a baking sheet. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil, paprika, salt, and zest half of the lemon. Drizzle over the cauliflower and rub on all sides (do not wash the bowl, use it for the olive salsa). 4. Roast the cauliflower for a total of 20 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through. 5. While the cauliflower is roasting make the rest of the recipe components. Add tahini paste, bell peppers, and water into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container since you will have extra (It can be saved in the fridge for up to 1 week). 6. For the olive salsa, chop the olives and sun dried tomatoes and transfer into the bowl that was used for the paprika mixture. Add the dried oregano as well as the lemon juice and remaining zest. 7. When the cauliflower is done roasting, add 2 tablespoons of the tahini onto a plate (per cauliflower steak), top with a cauliflower steak, and garnish with the olive salsa. Enjoy!

Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan, add the tofu cubes, leave undisturbed for about 4 minutes or until brown. Then turn over and repeat until all sides are brown. Note: My lazy way of preparing tofu - is that I add a little olive oil to a non-stick tray. Cut the tofu into desired size. Add to the tray. Brush with a little olive oil. Pop in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until tofu has started to turn a golden colour and it has firmed up. Remove from the oven, let it cool and set it aside until ready to be used. Season with salt and pepper. 7. In the same frying pan, heat 1 - 2 Tbsp of olive oil and saute the spring onions for about six minutes until soft. Add the peas and stir-fry for two minutes.

Divide the noodles, tofu and veg between four bowls. 10. Put a little cabbage in each bowl, then ladle as much of the pickling liquid over the top as you would like. 11.

This a wonderful savoury breakfast, high protein and gluten free. This protein rich breakfast reduces cravings and overall caloric intake throughout the day, compared to one rich in carbohydrates and sugar. Eggs are a rich source of choline, a nutrient that is critical for metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, brain development, and more. In eggs, choline is naturally bound to phospholipids which aid in their digestion and absorption. Nutrient Synergy at it's best ! Ingredients: Egg Wrap
Salad
Method: 1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. 2. Once the pan is hot, place one rice paper in the hot pan, crack two eggs on top of the rice paper, and season with salt and pepper (divided accordingly between all the servings). 3. Allow the rice paper to soften slightly, then fold it in half using a spatula. Press the wrap down with the spatula to slightly flatten it and fry for 1 minute. Flip the wrap and fry for 1 more minute. Remove from heat (you can keep warm in the toaster oven) and repeat with the remaining wraps. 4. Add all of the salad ingredients to a bowl and toss until well combined. 5. Serve the egg wraps warm with the salad on the side.

Pair two Bao Buns with a lovely salad and presto ! You have a lovely light dinner.
I will make a confession. I did not make the Bao Buns from scratch. Instead, I visited the local Chinese Supermarket and bought them frozen. Then steamed them for ten minutes. While they were steaming, I prepared the mushroom filling which took me about fifteen minutes ! Super quick and easy to prepare. :)) Ingredients Bao Buns

Vegan Bao Bun Filling
Note : Errrmmmm .. another confession here with the filling. I prepared the filling in a pan. I sautéed two onions, one white and one red. Then I added the spices, a little Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon of barbecue sauce, some chilli flakes and at the end a teaspoon of hoisin and siracha. I let them cook for about 10 - 15 minutes. Grated carrot was my sprinkle of choice. Recipe Compliments and Adapted From: https://www.liveeatlearn.com/vegetarian-bao-buns/ |
