What We Ate Today #2

Hey! Happy Monday! 

I hope you had an awesome weekend.  We hung out at the park, watched a few movies, ate lots of avocado rolls, and read a little (Dominique Moceanu's autobiography is pretty good).

Last week I posted another video on my YouTube channel (here's the first one) to show what we eat as a family. In the latest video, I show breakfast, lunch, dinner and one snack.

Stay tuned for more videos like this!

All of the recipes from the video are at the end of this post. 

Did you do anything fun this weekend? Let me know in the comments.

Spinach & Lentil Enchiladas

by Recipe from "Gluten-Free Vegan Comfort Food" by Susan O'Brien

Cook Time: 25

Keywords: vegan

Ingredients (Serves 6)

    For the Sauce
    • ¼ cup onion, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    • 3 cups marinara sauce
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    For the Filling
    • 1 ½ cups lentils, rinsed
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¾ cup onion, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons green chiles, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
    • 2 cups fresh spinach
    • 2 cups vegetable broth
    • 10 corn or flour tortillas
    • ½ cup vegan cheese (optional)

    Instructions

    Preheat oven at 400 degrees.

    To make the sauce, in a saucepan, sauté the onions in olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, and then turn off the heat.

    For the filling, heat oil on medium-high in a large skillet. Add in onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then add in garlic, stirring occasionally for about a minute. Then add in sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, lentil and broth. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes.

    Line a casserole dish with about a cup of sauce.

    In a small skillet heat each tortilla on medium heat for about 45 seconds on each side.

    Working on a flat surface, scoop about a tablespoon of the lentil filling into each tortilla and roll up lengthwise.

    Arrange each enchilada in the casserole dish and cover with the remaining sauce.

    Sprinkle on vegan cheese (if you're using it), cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.

    What WE Ate Today #1

    I get questions sometimes about what we eat as a family.  When we eat out or attend a social event (birthday parties, BBQ, etc.) my hubby and kids eat whatever they want.  Other than that, I try to offer my family as many plant-based meals and snacks as possible. Sometimes it can be difficult being the only vegan in the house, but overall we've adjusted fine after nearly three years of this lifestyle.

    I started a video series to document what we eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner on a given day. Since I received a lot of positive feedback from this latest video, there will definitely be more like this!

    Check out the video below :-)

    What We Ate Today

    I'm trying to get in the habit of posting more of the food we eat as a family.  I see so many wonderful dishes from the ladies who participate each Wednesday on Peas and Crayons

    I don't think I will post every Wednesday but I will try to do something similar weekly.

    No pictures for breakfast and lunch....

    Breakfast was pancakes that I cooked last night to save time and lunch was leftover spaghetti.

    Dinner.....

    Stir-fry & Quinoa

    We eat stir-fry a lot because it's simple, fast, and affordable.

    I cooked up some Field Roast sausage links, 1 green bell pepper, 1/2 red onion

    Watch me make quinoa  below and read more about quinoa here.
