Blog-Boost Monday & More!
Good morning and a happy Monday to you all!
After a somewhat busy weekend and trying to catch up on some much-needed rest, I would like to resume my old Blog-Boost series for today, featuring my long-time favorite, MeloMeals. Melody is a vegetarian/vegan chef who specializes in vegan cooked and raw fares, and who is also an excellent photographer. While her blog has taken a new direction as of late, she once had the specific theme for her blog of living vegan on a budget of $3.33 a day! She always posted beautiful, delicious-looking and super-healthy recipes and really helped me to learn the value of buying in bulk whenever possible some time ago. Her recipes always look delicious and healthful, and while not always for the beginner, still turn out amazing and worth your while to make the effort at any one of your favorites. (She posts tantalizing photographs by which to lure the mouth-watering...) So, go check out her blog, MeloMeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day!
And last night, I was in the kitchen trying to come up with something simple, healthful, and delicious but without much effort. So I opened up my raw recipe book and found a recipe that sounded pretty good, then modified it considerably to suit my needs/taste. And now I'll share it with you! **Note: This does not have to be prepared raw, for those of you still a little squeamish about raw dishes. You can lightly saute it in a pan and still have a wonderful array of flavors and aromas-- just don't overcook!** The sweet potato still lends that autumn flavor and texture while the spices and flavors give it an oriental spin!
Hope everyone enjoys that!
And just because my son is so cute... I have to share this as I say for you all to have a wonderful day!
