Bean Bolognese

YUMMY!

To serve 2 You'll need:
200g spaghetti (or other pasta of your choice)
1 zuchhini
1/2 cup tvp
1/2 tin 4 bean mix
150g passata sauce (Italian tomato cooking base)
1 onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
fresh basil leaves to serve

Put the tvp in a bowl with 1 cup of bowling water & allow to absorb for 10 mins.
Bring a pot of water to the boil. Julienne the zucchini and add it to the bowling water along with the pasta. Boil for 12 mins or until al dente and then drain.
In a frying pan combine the chopped onion and the minced garlic. Saute until onion becomes translucent. Add the drained TVP and the beans. Stir in the oregano and the passata sauce. Lightly fry until all ingredients are warmed through.

Serve with torn basil leaves & a corn cob :-)
Very simple & very tasty.

Day 4 - Comfort Food

We all have comfort food don't we :-)
I love oats & pasta as my never fails.
So with that said, I bet you'll never guess what breakfast was today?!?!?!?

Oats cooked with half soymilk, half blueberry juice, a tablespoons flaxseeds & berries.
I love the mix of blueberry juice & soymilk.

Todays lunchbox:
Crunch and sip snack - grapes.
Morning tea - spinach crackers (I was told she didn't want dip with them!) and sesame snaps.
Sandwich - fresh tomato and basil.

Today's lunch salad was mixed baby spinach leave with capsicum, carrot & leftover lentil loaf :-)
Oh, i did top it with some hummus actually!
Followed by some grapes :-)  Enjoying the last of them before the season is over!

I made some water crackers with sundried tomato & roasted eggplant for afternoon tea.
I was reminded how much I love roasted veggies after my pizza last night!

As I mentioned earlier in this post, pasta is my favourite evening comfort food.

I made a bean and TVP bolognese for dinner tonight.

Does apple pie sound like comfort food? uh-huh!

Well for me, its better if its berry apple pie :-)
