I've been sick a few times this year, which is annoying. One day I made these instant noodles for lunch. They were pretty nice, though a bit on the salty side.
Over winter I was definitely into toasted sandwiches. This is a classic, with Daiya and Tofurky Ham. I always have some ketchup for dipping as I eat.
You know me and my silly drinks! But this actually was very tasty. They suggest you can use it as a salad dressing or in other dishes as well, but I just drank it straight.
Winter was also a great time for soup. I miss winter, it is hot and sweaty now. But I did have a fun time exploring the slowly expanding range of vegan-friendly soups on the supermarket shelves. Like this Pumpkin Soup from La Zuppa. It can be quite hard to find pumpkin soup that doesn't have dairy in it, so this was lovely. I served it with a bit of leftover tofu sour cream I and some leftover coconut bacon I had that needed to be used up.
Bringing together two great things - toasted sandwiches and soup! Coles brought out their own range of soups, some of them vegan friendly. This Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup with Cashews was fine, it was nice and creamy, but definitely needed some more seasoning. Nothing some salt and some nooch can't fix. With a grilled Daiya cheddar sandwich.
The final thing for this post is these Black Sesame Mochi ice creams. I've seen people posting about them, but got really keen to try them after reading this post by Jennifer. When I saw them in Woolworths, I was so excited! But cautiously so, as they are coconut based. But the good news is that I can eat one or two with no problems, and they don't have that heavy coconut fat taste or texture. I got the black sesame flavour, but they also had green tea. These were so good, and a perfect quick little cold sweet treat for hot days.

Soup definitely helps me when I'm sick, too. I wish we had Tofurky ham--I really love all the Tofurky things I've had, so I'm sure it's great--but I shouldn't complain because I have lots of vegan ham options. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWe only seem to get the ham slices from Tofurky these days, which is sad because I really liked the roast beef and the smoked hickory slices as well!
DeleteHuh, I never thought of dipping sandwiches in ketchup; sounds like a tasty idea!
ReplyDeleteI like it better than putting the ketchup in the sandwich. Plus it is fun!
DeleteHmm... I wish I had more black sesame flavored frozen goods in the area. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and make one at home. Sometimes just one or two mochi is all you need. Just a little sampling.
ReplyDeleteI love black sesame flavour, but definitely don't see it around as often as others.
DeleteAww what a sweet picture of you and your girl <3 Toasted sandwiches are the best and I need some mochi in my life! I think I need to get some ASAP!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get some mochi. I love them.
