Hello there!
Look at the gloomy and foggy weather we are having…
Also note, all the leaves are now off the trees… :(
This calls for some comfort food!
Here are my delicious vegan eats for my lunch today…
‘But How Do You Get Protein?’ Vegan Couscous Pita
Yes, I blatantly stole that name from Dreena Burton’s recipe in Eat Drink and Be Vegan. ;) Love it.
- High protein pita
- 1.5 cups couscous (thanks to Caitlin for inspiring me to try couscous, I’m now obsessed!)
- 1/2 cup homemade tomato sauce (tomato paste, canned tomatoes, onions, herbs, EVOO, sea salt)
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 scoop hummus
- 1/4 cup black beans
- Black pepper, freshly ground
This is one of my new favourite combinations. The couscous pita has over 30 grams of protein! It fills me up for hours.
Dessert was my Vegan Pumpkin Pecan Pie:
You have to make this for Thanksgiving!!!!! It is so delicious. I am blown away by it. It’s even good cold! The great thing about this pie is that it has a great nutritional profile and lots of protein from the tofu.
No, pumpkin pie is not normally a part of my lunch, but when in Rome…
You catch my drift. ;)
I especially enjoyed the glazed pecans along the bottom of the crust:
The crust is maybe the yummiest crust I have ever tried. It actually has some ‘oomph’ to it!
