On Sunday night I had 'Lady Fingers (okra) on Quinoa*' : - ) The quinoa was cooked with corn, green peas, garlic, etc. (Photo below). Plus: my 'mashed banana dessert'... (with dried fruits - including barberries- and nuts; dates; cinnamon; dried coconut shaves; oat milk and tahini)...
On Monday night I had 'Lady Fingers on Buckwheat' (forgot to take the photo), and my 'mashed banana dessert' as well.
I love lady fingers (okra) so I do not mind having them several days in a row...

On Tuesday and Wednesday I made a 'large salad as main meal'. Besides the leafy greens (like kale and bok choy), tomatoes, cucumber and herbs, the salad included avocado, buckwheat, boiled baby potatoes, crushed nuts, etc.; on the Tuesday version I also added some chickpeas. The dressing was made out of vinegar, whole-blended-lemons, dijon mustard, tahini and nutritional yeast. It was very hearty and filling.
For dessert (on both days), I had my 'mashed banana mix' (with nuts, dried fruits, dates, oat milk, etc.) plus some fresh fruits (persimmons, mandarin)

I need to try the tahini-based (rather than oil-based) dressings. Your dressing sounds really tasty.
I love a combo of hummus and tahini and lemon juice, mustard etc etc - for Christmas, I asked for and received, a small handheld milk frother which I use to mix these kinds of dressing - it works well.

Oh, that's good to know about the frother. Thank you! I have one of those somehwere, though it might be too large. I'll have to check.
Oh, and today I have had a smoothie with a banana, natural peanut butter, cinnamon and soy milk; a peanut butter sandwich on sprouted bread and grapes, plus an energy bite made with oatmeal, peanut butter, raisins, ground flaxseed and cinnamon. I'm going to have tofu, assorted roasted veggies and rice for dinner.

My stomach is feeling delicate so I am going to have some water and make a smoothie. I'm going to use bananas, maca powder, cocoa powder, cashew butter and soya milk. I'm trying to recreate one I buy in a local vegan cafe. I read maca powder is good for menopause symptoms so I might start using it everyday.

You know you are addicted to capsaicin when you add extra strong paprika powder to your tin of chilli beans.
Crisp bread, margarine, walnuts, grill seasoning on the top.
Apples.
Milk (the grey Oatly one).

Yesterday I had farro (which I cooked with mixed vegetables, from the freezer - green beans, green peas, carrots, etc.), with fava beans on top - and a sprinkle of dijon mustard and tahini. For dessert: dried fruits, cashew nuts & dates mixed with soy milk, cinnamon, dried coconut flakes and a sprinkle of tahini**. All very nice
*I am becoming a big fan of farro - a whole grain and a great substitute for white rice; it is chewy and hearty, and goes well with almost anything you would normally have rice with; quinoa, buckwheat and barley are also on my favorite shortlist of white rice replacements; I am still working on millet - I tried to cook it once, and did not turn well - I will need to do more ' millet experiments' ...
** I think this shows I have become a tahini fan: I use it for both savory and sweet dishes...oh well...one day will try to make tahini from scratch, from raw sesame seeds...

Yesterday I made an (experimental) 'quinoa biryani' - I cooked the quinoa with lentils, green beans, green peas, carrots, sundried tomatoes and corn (plus spices and a little miso). It was easy as I simply placed all these ingredients in a multi-cooker and left it alone until it was done. I later added some fava beans I had at hand, and mixed in some sumac, dijon mustard and tahini. The photo of the final dish is below.
I know it looks like a messy dish - but it is quite hearty and filling, with plenty of nutrients and fiber - i.e. with whole grains, legumes, veggies, seeds (tahini) - plus it was easy to do.
For dessert: I mixed dried fruits, dates, walnuts, cinnamon, dried coconut flakes, and tahini with some oat milk. It was nice.

Another serving of vegetable quinoa 'biryani' - this time, I topped it up with fresh leafy greens and fresh tomatoes, with a sprinkle of dijon mustard and tahini. For dessert: a mix of dried fruits, nuts, berries, cinnamon, dried coconut flakes and soy milk. Nice.
Yesterday I had a "Quinoa & Legumes* salad' , followed by a chia pudding with fruits, nuts and soy milk. All nice. Photos below.
[* Lentils, pinto beans, black beans and garbanzo beans were all in the salad -mixed with the quinoa, under the greens: a protein powerhouse]

Main meal: Large 'hearty' salad - with leafy greens, tomatoes, avocado, baby potatoes, assorted beans, buckwheat, crushed walnuts, chopped red chillies, dried chilly flakes and dried barberries. Dressing: a mix of balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, whole blended lemons and tahini.
For dessert: ' mashed banana' mix - with nuts and dried fruits, soy milk, cinnamon and a little tahini.

I finally found a bag of the mung beans so I will try making something next week - I may start with French toast as that sounds appealing.
Can you use the mixture in place of egg in say a cake or cookies do you think?
