Pesto Zoodles with Grilled Eggplant and Pine Nuts

FINALLY got myself a spiraliser kind of device (instead of paying $30 for one fancy one online I got mine for $5 from a little asian shop in bankstown)- I'm literally so chuffed and excited and cannot waittttttttttttt to make heaps of different raw noodle and pasta dishes!
Tonight I just made some zoodles and tossed through it some yummy vegan pesto made by my dad and grilled eggplant that I found in the fridge from last nights left overs- with a dash of lemon and pepper and some pine nuts! YUM!

Loving Hut Vegan Cuisine

My parents are always ranting about this vegan restaurant in bankstown (sydney) that has all this crazy fake meat,
I've never been that into the idea of fake meat as Ive always been a proud vegetarian (since birth!) but finally went there today and was so impressed!!!
Delicious fresh food that tasted exactly how I imagine meat to haha

BLISS BALLS

This was a few weeks back when Romy and Amber came over for breakfast, I made a tofu scramble and they brought date balls

These are simple ones just walnuts and dried dates
Usually I add heaps of shit into mine:
-frozen banana (then must be kept in the freezer)
-cacao
-Macca Powder
-Almond Meal
-LSA
-Goji Berries
-Sultanas
-Almonds, Cashews etc.
-Coconut
-Lemon juice
-Agave
-Lemon Rind
and once im done i usually roll them in coconut or cacao and leave them in the freezer.! DElicious and so cheap to diy as these bliss balls often cost like $4 from health food shops and cafes.

Cauliflower Rice

Put about 3 cups of raw cauliflower into your food processor and process until a ricey consistency appears, add salt and remove the cauliflower taste. This can become a delicious basis for so many meals- raw sushi, stir fries or just added to salads to make them more filling.
SO LOW in calories too!!

Pumpkin Quinoa Fritters with Watermelon, Jalapeno and fresh Corn salad

Pumpkin Quinoa Fritters with Watermelon, Jalapeno and fresh Corn salad
The fritter recipe is what I posted recently made from boiled pumpkin, chia and sunflower seeds, quinoa and paprika. The salad was just random things from my fridge with a apple cider vinegar and lemon dressing.!

Ate this on my balcony in the sun over looking my garden.

The Grounds of Alexandria

After a stressful time trying to find the place and then a parking spot me and my good chum Tamsyn found ourselves seated at a table in the sun for lunch today at the Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney,
The place was ridiculously buzzy and the menu interesting but very meat oriented.
I got a zucchini, pear and pistachio salad (which was rather simple but still delicious) - i opted out of added danish feta and Tammy got a kale and baby beetroot salad with a yoghurty dressing.

Banana Oat Pancakes with Fresh Figs and Almond Chia Butter
I'm excited to say today was the first time I've tried FRESH FIGSSSSSSSSS!! SO YUM!
I made these pancakes out of 1/2 a banana, tbsp of oats, big tbsp lsa and a touch of almond milk. Cooked in coconut oil and topped with watermelon, banana, green apple and FIGS with a touch of almond chia butter.
YUMMY - this is basically what I would have with oats but fried instead of left to simmer I guess!
