I've been on an oatmeal
kick lately - I can't get enough of it!
kick lately - I can't get enough of it!
Cinnamon oatmeal cooked with egg whites, topped
with sliced strawberries and unsweetened carob chips
And because of the recent cold weather, my
oven has been busy roasting many vegetables...
Organic Tempeh from Green Cuisine
Tempeh, corn, peas, carrot, lotus root, daikon, broccoli, swiss chard, brussel sprouts, balsamic vinegar
, mustard
, onion, garlic, dill, sage, thyme, paprika and black pepper
, mustard, onion, garlic, dill, sage, thyme, paprika and black pepper
And I find it so much easier to prepare roasted vegetables than stir-fries...
Question: Are there any meals/foods you prepare
differently in colder months, than in warmer months?
Love that you used lotus root in your roasted veggies!
ReplyDeleteIn winter I'm all about making roasted vegetables and curries. But once the weather warms up, I eat far more raw, grilled, and steamed veggies, and I make more stir fries.
I am always roasting veggies in the winter months! But I think I'll probably continue that in the summer because I just can't get enough! :)
ReplyDeletemm lotus root!!
ReplyDeleteit's difficult for me to stomach salads during the winter - just because i think warmer meals + veggies sit better with me. i also tend to drink more soups + stews, both of which i never do in the warmer months.
I am loving on roasted vegetables right now! It is almost lunch time...I need a big bowl of your veggies!
ReplyDeleteIn the winter I definitely crave more roasted veggies, soups and stews and in the warmer weather its more raw foods and salads!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried tempeh before OR lotus root but you make them look so good! I love daikon and never thought it would be good roasted!!
ReplyDeletei had the EXACT breakfast this morning (minus the carob chips, jealous!) it was the first time i actually cooked and succeeded with cooking egg whites in the oatmeal.. delicious! topped with organic strawberries and chia seeds mixed in, never get sick of oats :)
ReplyDeleteYour roasted veggies always look so amazing and absolutely perfect! What's your favorite roasting temp/time time to get perfectly roasted veggies?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried tempeh before! Your veggies look so yummy, and oatmeal is perfect for the winter!
ReplyDeleteI crave oatmeal all year round, but I love it even more in the winters!
ReplyDeleteAlso in the winters I crave a lot more heartier meals, like stews and lasagna, but in the summers I crave more salads and no-cook meals!
Those roasted veggies look so good I always roast my vegetables in the winter, but wouldn't dream of it in the summer!
ReplyDeleteI eat more salads and fresh juices in the summer, and more stews and chilis typically in the winter.
ReplyDeleteOoooh my gosh that looks incredible! I love roasted veggies and I think I need to give tempeh another shot! :)
ReplyDeleteThose roasted veggies look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I want that oatmeal. What I wouldn't give for fresh strawberries right now. And those roasted vegetables look delicious.
ReplyDeleteHey there, thanks for stopping by my blog! That oatmeal looks delicious...and those veggies? To die for! I love all the different colors :D
ReplyDeleteYou have the BEST roasted pans of pure awesome!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love roasting veggies when it is "cold" outside. We are already getting hot in Austin. It was 83 degrees yesterday! Thanks for sharing, sweet lady. I hope you have a splendid weekend full of sleep, laughter and love!
ReplyDeleteWinter time means lots of squash, soup, and muffins!! I love warm food :)
ReplyDeleteI love tempeh!!
ReplyDeleteI want to try lotus root so bad but I can't find it anywhere where I live :(
Most foods that I would normally BBQ in the summer end up in the oven over the winter. Although, we do tend to BBQ year round...
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm craving a warm bowl of oatmeal. With strawberries...and carob chips! Ugh Barcelona why haven't you hopped on the carob trend yet?! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteLoving all the roasted veggies too--I'm all about the stir-frys, oatmeal and comforting soups during the colder months! Those at least have been super easy to make here :)
that oatmeal looks so good. i never used to eat oatmeal until we moved to a cold climate. now i eat it every morning.
ReplyDeleteand the roasted veggies look amazing! i like how you threw tempeh in with them. i think i'll go roast some veggies now :)
