Oats(w/Apricots & Golden Raisins), Hummus Sandwiches and Gado Gado

Breakfast


Oats with Dried Apricots and Golden Raisins

I don't really know why we are having this particular combination of fruit. Paul picked it out...
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 The texture is very good, but the flavor combination is not that great. Individually, I would give each of these fruits high ratings, but together... They are a little weird. Approximate time to prepare: 4 minutes

Lunch


This is the third time we are having Hummus sandwiches since I started this blog! Wow, guess it takes something like this blog for me to see just how often we have some things... Guess I will give it a 5 out of 5 for flavor, texture and how filling it is.

On the sandwiches this time:
Ezekiel bread
spicy Hummus
Plain Hummus
Sunflower Seeds, flavored with Bragg's
Carrot, shredded
Green bell pepper, very thinly sliced
Red leaf lettuce

Approximate time to prepare: 5 minutes

Dinner


Okay, so doubling the peanut sauce recipe gave us too much. We are having it again. This week we also added Tamari Sunflower seeds to the yummy bowl 'o food.
Rating: 5 out of 5. I just love peanut flavored stuff (soy ice cream, snickers candy bars, thai peanut sauces, etc.) I really like all of the different textures in this meal. We heat it up so it is al dente at best. The crunchiness of the cabbage still comes through and the sunflower seeds add even more crunch and flavor. Oh, and we have discovered that Sriracha sauce is VERY good on this dish.

Instead of spinach under the sauce, we are doing Spicy Kale.
In a large skillet heat up 3 tablespoons of oil (vegetable or olive). Saute 1 medium onion, diced. Add 1 head of regular kale, chopped. Saute until the kale is wilted. Add generous amounts of Chipotle Tabasco. Yumm. I give it a 5 out of 5. It is spicy and hearty. Approximate time to prepare the Spicy Kale: 15 minutes.
