Awesome, wholesome, want some?

These are some dishes I made throughout the week and yet they look like they were cooked for one meal, don't they?

First, this is my own version of mixed vegetable curry. I was still thinking of the food we had at the Indian restaurant the day before and so this was inevitable. Have you ever had a culinary moment where you were so inspired that you just put in whatever spices come to mind and it turns out really good, but afterwards you couldn't recollect everything that went in there? This is one of those.

THE COMEBACK OF THE QUINOA
this time with Asian flavored tofu:
garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown rice vinegar, rice wine, sesame oil and agave nectar.

Hubby liked it a lot but Aliyah still prefers the Lemon-Herb kind.

When I started cooking quinoa with veggies, I knew I have a keeper. 2 cups of quinoa, a carrot, a red bell pepper, spinach and dried basil were added to 3 cups boiling water and simmered for 15-20 minutes. Awesome, wholesome... want some?

Lunch one day was left-over quinoa and my version of Chana Masala. Again, I didn't take notes, though I remember adding onion, ginger, tomatoes, fresh lemon juice, fresh curry leaves, garam masala, cumin, turmeric and asafoetida. I am working on improving my recording and measuring skills, so that I could have the written recipe, even just for my own good!

Work in progress...
