Food I Made Then Ate + A New Zine

Chichi beans + basmati rice. I adapted this recipe from  Staten Italy: Nothin' but the Best Italian-American Classics, from Our Block to Yours (by the pizza cuz guys). I served it with leftover naan.

 

Southern-ish bowl: basmati rice topped with pan grilled spiced tofu, collard greens and black eyed peas. Hefty amounts of hot sauce included! I love collard greens - simply made with olive oil, lemon juice, pepper flakes. It is so comforting!

Not the best photo but whatever! Fried veggie dogs with ketchup, mustard and sauerkraut from the neighbor (the best ever!) on naan - because we love Trader Joe's naan. Fries with ketchup round out the meal.

I released the newest issue of The Stay at Home Girlfriend - #16 over the weekend, please check it out! It is full of cats, vegan recipes, music, mental health/self care, beer tastings and more!

Soy Curl & Chickpea Stew

 

Lately this has to be my go to comfort food meal. A big plate of Soy Curl + chickpea stew simmered with Mexican spices and served with red rice on the side.  The recipe is a modified version of the one on Low Fat Vegan and my version will be in my next zine.

The cold weather has made me feel sluggish, tired and not want to do much besides curl up in bed and read. I need a tropical climate to survive! At least with warm stews and lots of tea and coffee I am motivated to get out of bed and get things done! How are you staying warm? Any recipes warming you from the inside out?
