Soup and Corn Muffins
Here I've tried a new soup with cauliflower and pasta from an Italian cookbook. I accompanied it by homemade corn muffins.
My midmorning snack were fried skewers with seitan, mini bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.

Salad with Asian Noodles and Toast Rolls
This was really nice. I had a salad with radish, bell pepper, champignons and Asian glass noodles plus a small side dish of cauliflower. The cauliflower recipe was from a book about Spanish tapas - I'm still looking for nice Spanish recipes, and this was really good.
The little snack box contained a collection of cherry tomatoes (a woman in the supermarket had asked me if those were plums) and toast rolls with homemade lemon pesto. Sometimes everything comes together nicely - just a couple of days ago I had read that it is easier to make these rolls when you put the toast in the microwave first, and then I found a packet of toast cut lengthwise specially for rolling. Of course after all this I had to try it and the rolls turned out really nice.

My Big Fat Greek Lunch
One of my boyfriend's uncles loves everything Greek, and the other day he gave me a package of delicious pita bread as a gift. I decided to create a thematic lunch around it. So I brought a vegan moussaka (on the right) and two vegan homemade spreads with the bread. I prepared skordalia, a potato dip, and mohamara (made of bell peppers and walnuts), which is actually more Libanese than Greek, but well. I filled the remaining space with raw cauliflower.

Couscous with Spicy Lentils
For this lunch I made couscous and a spicy, Indian-inspired lentil sauce. As snacks I brought along raw cauliflower and two seitan sausages. Both delicious!

Indian Lunch
Today I cheated - my dal isn't homemade, these are leftovers from an Indian take-away meal. But I used it to create a theme - I made vegan samosas and curry-cauliflower.
You can find the recipe for the samosas (in German) here:

[Google translator can help all those who don't speak German :-)]
The curry-cauliflower was invented by my boyfriend and is very easy to make:
Separate the cauliflower in little florets and fry them with oil in a pan until they start to brown slightly. In the meantime, mix a small quantity of yellow curry paste with water. Pour the mixture over the cauliflour florets in the pan, go on frying and stir regularly to coat the florets from all sides. The water will evaporate and you will end up with delicious spicy and slightly crunchy cauliflower.
My second breakfast was a smoothie made of fruit (kiwi, apple, orange, some pomegranate seeds), a tomato, a bit of oatmeal and ground almonds plus a splash of agave syrup.
