DIY Soy Milk meets Oatmeal

Vegan

... and it's made its way into a new favorite breakfast oatmeal:

- quick oats, salt, prunes and almonds in a bowl, pour boiling water to just cover oats, cover bowl with plate
- grind cooked soybeans with water in a blender, pour on top - voila!

Lemon-Dill Zucchini with Fried Rice

Success! Quick, easy, colorful, fresh, simple, delicious meal!
Rescue Mission: leftover rice

Vegan -  Lemon-Dill Zucchini

- fry zucchini in olive oil, adding salt, pepper and dill once it softens
- at desired level of done-ness, remove from heat and toss with fresh lemon juice


Ovo-veg- Carrot and Egg Fried Rice

- great way to use up leftover rice, which apparently works better than freshly cooked
- flavoring made from mixing whatever bottled sauces I found on hand: soy, sweet chili, veg oyster (mushroom) and sesame oil

Lazy Rice Bowl / Greek Salad

Vegan
(though it would've had goat cheese in it, had I taken it out of the freezer in time)

This here is a bowl of rice with a Greek-type salad on top. Good for short-on-time and/or lazy cooks!
Dressing: EVO oil+lemon juice+herbs

Fruit Bowl

Vegan (though you could dress it with some yogurt if that's your sort of thing ;)

Such a yum and healthy way to enjoy fresh fruit - have it at breakfast, snack, dessert time...

Strawberry Banana Flax Smoothie

Lacto-veg (added yogurt)

It's strawberry season in Taiwan! These little gems are so amazing fresh!

DIY Ingredient: GROUND FLAX SEEDS
I made this "discovery" the other day - if you want ground flax seeds in your smoothie, just start them off in an empty blender and after 30 seconds - minute of awfully loud blending, voila! Fresh as can be. Since flax seeds oils are fragile and will go rancid very quickly after being ground, this is the ultimate way to go, I think! If you appreciate grinding your coffee and/or spices fresh, don't skimp on the flax!
