Happiest Foodie Friday to you all! This week I am excited to share a lovely vegetarian dish that I found online. It’s called a Spicy Kale and Coconut Stir Fry compliments of Cookieandkate.com.

I LOVE spicy food! Not like, to tears spicy, but a nice roll of heat in the senses is always a nice addition to a dish. This one totally delivered. It’s a easy stir fry with egg, kale, brown rice (I used wild rice), coconut flakes, all topped with cilantro and a kick of lime.

The Kale is beautifully steamed and adds some texture; very earthy in tone. The surprise in this dish is the coconut flakes. It brings in a crunch and the most subtle coconut flavor that is a perfect hint to say “I’m here” without taking over. It’s nice and filling without overwhelming the tummy.

Hubby and I really enjoyed this dish. We ate it all lol! I think I will be making this a part of my monthly cooking regime. Until next time, happy eating 😀 !!!

Vegan Grill Cheese With Tomato Soup

Happy Foodie Friday!!!! The whole month of Sept we have been eating vegan. No dairy, no meat…NO MEAT (it’s soooooo hard lol).

So this time I decided to go simple and make us a vegan grill cheese. The bread is a delicious Duomo bread I got from Central Market. The cheese was a Follow Your Heart Brand cheddar and mozzarella style substitute.

I must say, it was challenging to get the cheese to melt. We still ate it, BUT we actually ended up really liking the bread and soup more than the vegan cheese. Of the cheeses, I preferred the mozzarella over the cheddar due to its more muted flavor. Not every Foodie Friday dish makes our top list and this one suffered on account of our lack of vegan refined pallets. But that still doesn’t stop us from having tons of fun.

Hope you enjoy your Friday and whatever meal you chose to eat 😉. Til next time, happy eating!
