Chickpea Burgers

I made this burger - https://www.noracooks.com/chickpea-burger/

It was very dry, even after I added a flax egg. I used zucchini flour, maybe that was why?? The flavor was fairly bland, so I will try something else.

I want to try this one next:

Seeds and cheese crackers

Pretty easy, used cheddar and parmesan cheese and sunflower, sesame, flax seeds. Turned out great but I Will try as written next time.

Mushroom lentil loaf

I always struggle to find something to eat with mashed potatoes and for me, lentil loaf is a no- brainer. The rest of the family has other thoughts though.

This recipe turned out pretty good and only one gave it a thumbs down. The other two asked for second helpings, so I take it as a good sign.

In terms of content I made a few substitutions and left some other things out because I didn't read the recipe that closely.

I threw all the veggies and (eventually) the nuts in the food processor to get the pieces small. I find it makes for a better texture.

I reduced the carrots to 2, skipped the bread crumbs to make it gluten free, skipped the sunflower seeds and toasted the walnuts, and skipped the balsamic glaze for preference.

I used 2 tablespoons of ground flax. I mixed the ground flax into the sauteed veggies so I didn't need to add more water.

I used a mix of red lentils and split mung dal because that's what I had on hand. I didn't need to smash them after cooking since they just broke down.

After everything was precooked, I mixed it together with the chickpea flour and put it into two loaf pans that were coated with olive oil.

I didn't use as many herbs as the recipe called for and it definitely needed more flavor. So I will add more next time.

Also could do to add some more salt and pepper.

Overall, this will be my new go to lentil loaf recipe and I even have in the freezer for later.

Potato Waffles

 I made this for dinner when everyone else was having regular flour waffles.

I used chives in place of onions, garlic powder instead of fresh, and arrowroot flour instead of wheat.

I think they turned out great!

Falafel using canned beans

Made this for A&C. Used half mint and half cilantro. Omitted the ground coriander cause I couldn't find it. I didn't need any flour either.

I just made the balls and put them in a container to freeze

Thai green curry

 I made this a couple times with a green curry paste I found at the Asian market. I'm not sure if I will be able to find it again, but I will try.

The first time I used tempeh, but E doesn't really like it. I didn't care for it either. I've read that if it's steamed it might be better. I'll have to try that next time. The second time I used tofu and it turned out much better.

Each time I used half of the can.
