Stir Fry and Apple Crumble


When it's me and my man cooking, dessert always follows dinner


We started with an Asian Stir Fry


We cooked the vegetables in Sweet and Sour 
Sauce with Chicken on a bed of Jasmine Rice


We both ate a couple bowls each, fighting over who gets the most veggies


Then came dessert, Homemade Apple Crumble


It's the easiest thing to make. You just slice an apple and stick it in a 
baking dish, and throw it in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes


Then add a crumble of oats, brown sugar, a little margarine
 and cinnamon, placing back in the oven for 15-20 minutes


Serves 2 hungry people

Banana Rice Sugar Cookies


There's no holding back my love of bananas


And I've got a super easy cookie recipe to share with you


Banana Rice Sugar Cookies
created by Snacking Squirrel


Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup potato flour
1 large mashed banana
1 whole beaten egg
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted margarine
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt


Directions

A. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit
B. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl
C. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl
D. Mix wet ingredients slowly into dry
E. Combine and scoop onto a cookie sheet
F. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned


They are sort of a mixture between a soft banana muffin 
and a soft/chewy sugar cookie. Like a Banana Snickerdoodle


Yields: 6-8 cookies


Question: What's one of your
favorite baking recipes with banana?

Crunchy Dill Crispy Minis


Happy St. Patrick's Dill Day to you!


I've got a bit of the green "fever" and I'm 
celebrating it with Crunchy Dill Crispy Mini Rice Cakes


Dill-licious haha!


They're so great for snacking and are healthy enough not to leave you feeling guilty


Question: How are you celebrating St. Patty's Day?

Green Cuisine Buffet Box Lunch


Have I got a special lunch treat for you today!


Green Cuisine Vegetarian Restaurant has the 
best Vegan Buffet on the Island, in my opinion


I got an assortment of different dishes, so bear with me as I try to list them all...


Coconut Curry Tempeh, Cajun Rice, Coleslaw...


Falafel/Quinoa Patty, Pasta Primavera and Steamed Kale and Broccoli


Vegan "Cream" of Broccoli Soup


Hearty and flavorful


I was in food heaven and definitely developed a nice food coma because of it ;)

Crunchy Peanut Butter Protein Bar


Here's a new Builder's Bar I have yet to try...


Crunchy Peanut Butter Builder's Bar


Packed with protein and smothered in a peanuty sugar coating


The perfect mid-meal snack to take on-the-go


Although a little too sweet for this squirrel, I loved the flavour profile
 and the extra crunch it adds to the overall texture of the protein bar


Then we head onto my dinner...


Dinner


Roasted chicken with quinoa/brown rice and peas, with a side of mixed veggie stir-fry


Balanced and healthy, just the way I like it

Monkeying Around


I love sushi for breakfast, it comes in second to chocolate :)


Brown Rice Vegetable Combo with Imitation Crab Lettuce Wraps in Tapioca 
Paper, alongside Roasted Chicken Breast, Sauteed Kale, Red Onion, and Leeks


Protein-packed with healthy carbs to fuel my day


The other day I found this while at Value Village


My monkey toque that I am now obsessed with



Look at that face! Awe


My lunch looks more like it should have been my 
breakfast, but who says we should follow the "rules"


Scrambled Tortilla with whole eggs and egg whites, kale
 and onion, a dash of garlic powder and squirt of mustard


Oh and tomato, all tucked tucked into a brown rice tortilla


Mighty delicious and so simple, just how I like my meals


Let's switch over to dessert shall we?


Dessert for Dinner? I think so!


And inside an empty bowl of noodle soup? Yup!


A cup (I ate some while photographing) of Soy Ice Cream 
with Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake and Vanilla Cake


Definitely not Soybean Noodle Soup, but way tastier ;)


Questions: Do you switch up your meals too? Do you
 have Breakfast for Lunch or Dinner for Breakfast etc.?
