Tuna, Apple, Nooch Trio

15 Mar

Another 70 degree day here in Denver.

I enjoyed my lunch outside for a change.

Not sure how I came up with this combo, but I’m pretty sure it started with  me wanting apples in my salad.

Kale Arugula mix, chopped Fuji apple, Nooch, Apple Cider Vinegar, Onion, Tuna, Mustard, Balsamic.

I mixed some tuna up with mustard and S&P before adding it to the salad.

Tuna, Nooch, and Chopped Apple are a trio made in heaven and will definitely be used again, maybe on a toastie :D

I’m getting a bit sick so I need to hit the sack early. I just popped a nighttime akla seltzer cold medicine thing my roommate gave me and its starting to kick in!

Brown Baggin’ it

31 Jan

I told you I was going to put that dressing on everything.

I usually pack lunches for both school and work. It’s really rather simple the key is just planning ahead.

Coz I cannot be bothered to do anything slightly comprehensive in the early morning, unless its routine.

Lunches are usually sandwiches/quesadillas, quinoa mixtures of some sort, and muesli/oatmeal. All of these travel really well and have a good ratio of nutrients.

The winning combination:

Arugula/spinach mix, Rainbow Quinoa (this is just regular quinoa mixed with black and red quinoa) Maple Cider Dressing, Nooch, raw Mushrooms, and Onion

I decided it was missing something and threw a bit of fresh feta on top. But for the record this quinoa/salad/dressing combo can remained untouched.

The quinoa made this salad “stick to my bones” as the saying goes. Which really is a rather odd saying.

The best part was it got to marinate in the fridge overnight before I took it in for lunch.

Fun with Kale Chips

27 Jan

Whenever I’m unfamiliar with a method of cooking or an ingredient I always use a recipe until I’m comfortable enough to start messing around with it.

I broke in my dehydrator with a Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chip recipe from Thrive Foods (this is my latest go-to recipe book and everything so far is fab-u-lous)

I couldn’t believe how easy this was and why I have not done this sooner. Especially because it’s so cheap compared to the pricy kale chips in store.

I immediately whipped up two variations the next day.

Basically there is a nut base (either sunflower seeds or cashews) and then a bunch of spices among other things.

This one was nooch flavored.

  • ½ c sunflower and cashews
  • 1/3 c water
  • 1/3 c nooch
  • ½ t salt
  • ½ t pepper

I think this was my favorite….or maybe the sour cream and onion. Ah they’re all amahzing.

Curry Flavored

  • ½ c sunflower and cashews
  • 1/3 c water
  • 1/3 c nooch
  • ½ t salt
  • ½ t pepper
  • 1 T curry powder

Sour Cream and Onion

The onion powder was an excellent addition

One of the thing I love about making these is that I can put them in that night, flip the on switch, and they’re ready for me in the morning. Or vice versa.

My next mission is to come up with a bunch more variations! I’m thinking old bay will be next. And also a lot more fun with the dehydrator.

Question: Any flavor suggestions while I’m at it?
