Rice and Yellow Stuff

For this lunch I improvised a dish with different types of rice, sundried tomatoes and artichokes. I also brought corn with melted cheese, yummy. My dessert was mango from the can.

Couscous and Burger

This looks absolutely huge, but that's because I brought a burger for second breakfast and packed all the ingredients separately. In the small container I had some homemade zucchini-salsa.
When planning my lunch, I had a look in the freezer and found this - a second portion of the African corn-stew that I already had weeks ago, this time with couscous. As a side dish I brought some edamame.

Fried Vegetables and Waffles

For this day I brought fried vegetables that I ate with white (soy) yogurt as a sauce. I wanted something a bit more juicy for a side dish, so I improvised a spicy puree with tomatoes, corn and pumpkin.
I'm quite proud of my snack, because this is the first time that I managed to make waffles without an egg (substituting it with soy flour), they usually fall apart when I try to take them out of the waffle maker. I read that you should allow the dough some time to rest so the gluten of the flour can develop and make the mix sticky enough. It seems to work!

Fried Quinoa with Kimchi and an Equally Exotic Dessert

This day I did again what you should never do and made three new recipes at a time. Don't try this at home, kids! I have to say that none of the three really convinced me, although I finished everything.
The main dish is this recipe of fried quinoa with kimchi:

I have to admit that I had never eaten kimchi before. I supposed I would probably like it , because I love sauerkraut so much, but it's really, really different and I still have to get used to it. The dish turned out totally okay, but I used too much sesame oil and couldn't really taste the rest of the ingredients, so that was probably not how it was supposed to be. I'll probably try this again at another point.
Then there's the dessert. This is sautauthig, the blueberry-corn-pudding of the Native Americans. This might not be a very unusual thing for you depending on where you live (Isn't the internet marvelous?), but believe me, for a German living in Spain it doesn't get much more exotic. It's not even very usual to find blueberries in the store, so when I spotted these, I just had to try something new. The dessert was nice, but, well, unusual.
And finally there are some stuffed mini-bell-peppers as a snack. I loved the idea of these, but will try another stuffing next time.

Mexican Rice and Corn Fritters

For this lunch I made the Tomato rice with peas from A vegan taste of Mexico, plus a couple of corn fritters. For second breakfast I had a delicious vegetarian Reuben sandwich with seitan and sauerkraut, accompanied by some raw vegetable sticks.

Chilli-Tortilla and Spicy Corn

This day had two facets - spicy and fruity.
My second breakfast was a banana, for lunch I had a tortilla with chilli and spicy corn, the dessert was kiwi-pineapple-compote.
The spicy corn was very easy to make: Just fry some onion, chili peppers and garlic in oil, add canned corn and a bit of ketchup, mix well, ready.
