Grilled cheese wednesday

Been out of town (those posts to come) so trying to eat light and get life back in track.

Grilled cheese and salad

   
Portabella and brie…needs something! The brie isnt salty so it really needed a touch of salt

 
  
 Beans, green lettuce, avocado, tomato, brie chunks, a few pepperonxini…some penzeys greek and tuscan blends with olive oil and tarragon white balsamic  
 Add some gluten free croutons 
  And here she is!

Gluten free pizza and salad wednesday

Easy day with gluten free crust and a salad..   
    
 
Its not frozen but i love this anyway

   
Leftovers from last night…tastes like a feta but texture like a jack

   
   
 
Added some olive oul, sherry vinegar, an acocado, olives (leftover from pizza) and some italian broad beans with penzeys greek seasoning (i love it!) 

   

#pulsepledge 4 days in a row

Pulses day three

Coincidence…i had a plan inspired by kevins closet cooking but the only gluten free soy chorizo is the wrong texture…i havent made pasta in a bit so i went that route…

 First i gathered sauce ingredients:

Elephant garlic

  
 
   
 
  
   

 Gluten free pasta

   
  
Some cheese..i love this brand… Feta tastes like feta but the texture is more like jack

    
Salad parts:

Adzuki fried rice reenvisioned

Last nights leftover rice gets a new cibe with shrimp and bamboo shoots…with a side of stir fried kale and chard   

It needed more singapore to stir fry the shrimp in
  

And a dash of one of my new favorite things

  

Stir fried greens with bankok spice and red pepper flakes…elephant garlic, ginger, leftover orange pepper, and some mushrooms…veggie broth too
  

The shrimp get goingbwith the bamboo shoots and singapore spice

  
    
 

Yes, my akbar sushi pieces came to visit again

Sunday went a bit asian inspired

Ive been wanting to wrap everything in lettuce lately….so made tofu lettuce wraps, soft tofu salad, and a fried rice…   
Crumbled firm tofu with random veggies, garlic, fresh ginger, penzeys bankok spice blend..

 
Yes…we have a light out si pics are a pain…it tastes better than it looks.   The sauce is rice vinegar and the other side is low sodium tamari.

   
The fried rice has simmered adzuki beans (simmered in tamari) and random veg seasoned with penzeys singapore spice blend

 
The soft tofu salad

 
  
Te tin condiment bowls were from the akbar sushi set…

Thats how we wound down friday….

“Cauliflower melt”

I get all kinds of food emails and i saw a cauliflower melt recipe that inspired me…….but i only had romanesco so i kinda did things my way…and roasted sliced romanesco, a bell (that was intended to be melted into the cheese) and the leftover florets.   

While they roasted…i toasted two slices of gluten free bread 

I decided that i liked the peppers that way with some cheese instead of on the melt.

I placed my slice of romanesco on the toasted bread a d covered with cheese and put back in the oven

  

And there she is…salad with balsamic and olive oil, my romanesco melt with roasted florets on the side and my cheesy pepper:-)
