Potato Salad


I suppose I could call this "Official Salad Week". Basically it's too warm to eat anything else.
We have a salad with boiled potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber and pumpkin seeds. My snacks for the day are a smoothie with grapes, an apple and an orange plus tofu sausages, mini cheeses and cherry tomatoes.

Tofu on bread


Oops, another lunch with a sandwich. That was not what I had planned, I had made a bell pepper-tofu-filling that I usually use for pita bread, but there was none left, so toast it was.
I also brought a Mediterranean courgette roll, filled with dried tomates, an olive and an almond. Wasn't there a joke in an Asterix comic about the Romans eating a cow filled with pork filled with lamb filled with pheasant filled with hare filled with squab? Well, this would be the vegan version.
The smoothie that I brought as a snack (with grapes and kiwi, among other things) tasted a lot better than it looked.

Bulgur and Baked Courgette

For this lunch I brought bulgur with bell pepper and slices of courgette that I had coated with breadcrumbs and baked in the oven. My midmorning snack was a burger with fried vegetable instead of a patty, and a greenish smoothie. I'm not into the traditional green smoothies, but this had a bit more of green stuff than usual, I added a bit of salad, avocado and cucumber.

Cabbage, Lentils and a Smoothie



More cabbage! I just love it. My lunch was a dish that's typical in the Western regions of Germany and is basically cabbage, potatoes, leek and carrots cooked in broth and spiced up with (in my case: veggie) sausages. It probably wins the first price for the dish with the weirdest name on earth - Schlabberkappes. Believe me, it sounds strange even for a German.
I also made Indian inspired lentil balls and brought some ketchup for dipping. My midmorning snack was a smoothie with fruits and beet.

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.
