Quite an old movie - but hey old movies are always the best. 

But getting back to the dish. If you love asian food as much as I do, you will hopefully like this.

Since being on the vegan boat trip - I love raw food more than I could think of. Well it still depends very much on what kind of raw food I eat. 

But a salad always goes and I couldn't think of a day without a salad - either green or vegetables. 

For today I made a crunchy healthy salad for lunch break. A plate full of vitamines - just right good as I feel like I'm getting a flu with cough and running nose. 

First I was hesitating either to eat it like this or fill it in a Pitabread-bag but I wanted to get the full taste of the salad, served a slice of bread aside. 

Afterward I relaxed on the sofa with good book on hand.

Bangkok Noodles

Since having my new vegetable noodle maker I'm really into preparing a lot of spiralized with it. I'm so happy about it. Before I just had a small handholder slicer and it was always so much work to get the vegetables sliced and there was always so much vegetable left I couldn't turn into noodles - really upsetting.. 

But this time is over. Lucky me!

For my todays lunch I turned back to my hand grater and own working hand to prepare the dish. I just thought that spiralized wouldn't look great or overloaded. 

If you're missing some carbohydrates in this dish, either serve some slices of whole grain bread or mix the vegetables with some asian noodles or glasnoodles. 

I kept them itself, getting the full vegetable power on foggy cool day.

Mango Avocado Arugula Salad with Mango-mustard-dressing

I love salad in any way and a must every day. A day without a salad isn't a perfect day. Salads and I we just love eachother. 

I knew that today I only would have a short time for lunchtime and probably even this short time would begin belated. 

I thought ahead and took something with me - very simple - a salad and a vegetable-hummus-filled sandwich. Unless the salad is kept very simple, the dressing isn't. Well, I never eaten such a dressing. 

Anyway I did want to share this dish to you, especially the dressing. So go ahead, try it yourself and be astonished.

Roasted Vegetable Salad

A bright, sunny and warm day. Great after a bit rainy holiday week.....

Since I'm in a Facebook-Group I have to admit that I'm totally addiced to it. The calls: "I pack on my vegan plate.."
It's so great to see what everyone posts as all looks so great that I immediately want to go into kitchen and try it as well. 

The only thing that stoppt myself is all the prepared food had to be eaten by myself and the lack of the needed ingredients. I already made too much this week and felt like eating all the time. 

Well back to today, I've been brave and made only a dish.  Perfect on this sunny day. I really hesitated to turn on the grill, but as the oven was already on I choose the oven way. I have to admit I didn't want to clean the grill - too lazy. I wanted to enjoy the sun instead!

Curiously since then I disliked it for real. 

Years after I gave the avocado another change - and tatata everything was good, still I had to get in touch with the taste of it again. . If I like avocado or not is very much depending how it is prepared.

There is nothing better than grilling on a warm summer early evening. Mostly you roast Tofu, Seitan and vegetables, fruits on the grill (or whatever else), but beside grilling wrapped Potatoes or Filo-packets there are not much possibilities to roast grains - exept you prepared patties out of them. 

And so did I. Grilled Potatoes and flatbread - I defenetly had done it much, but not ofter patties on the grill (always afraid they will fall apart). 

Today I tried it again and I don't know what I have done wrong the last times - but this time just perfect. 

Defenetly "a making again"-dish! If you miss a sauce for the patties I would recommend a Mango-Dipping Sauce (recipe below).

Salad with spicy soymedaillons

Finaly summertime has come. Perfect to start with a fresh, healthy lunch. 

Lately I'm really up to clean my cupboards from all the stored stuff, well once it had to be eaten. Mostly I've just waited for the right time - moment for guests - to serve the stuff. Yesterday, on no special occasion - was the time to open up the dried soymedaillons. 
I found a new and simple marinade I wanted to try. Delicious!!!!! AND so simple...

I made a bunch of medallions, some for the next day and some had to be eaten right away. 

The marinade can be used for any kind of "meat". The sauce is also well for just dipping it, for example tofu-nuggets. Just try out.

Wildherb salad "Druid" with a superfood dressing and Matcha croutons

Sometimes your body just calls for something like a "superfood" to get back the strenght it needs. AND I defently need strenght lately. Can't even tell why - maybe overworked myself - the weather changing, my lately being sick days - or whatever...

Yesterday was a bright and sunny day and after cleaning and groceries I went into the garden to plant my last week bought seedlings (such as pro specia rara yellow cherry tomatoes, special red tomatoes, thai-basilicum and ginger-mint). Finished I draged the pots up into the second floor to my balcony. Last year I only had the tomatoes on my balcony and they came very good, but "the left in the backyard" basilicum and mint - died after season. To bad, cause mint is a all year-season herb.

After all this work, I was frosting, having headache and fever again - like the days before. Shit (sorry) guess, I overloaded myself too much. 

But what cures a body more than some rest, sleep and a healthy dish? Maybe just love, care and medicine. 

Anyway, this salad defently gave back some strenght - at least till dinner time.

NOW, however you feel like in the mood for a healthy superfood dish or suffering recovering illness. This salad is good in every occasion.
