A weird creation I made over Christmas break - chocolate cherry bread with eggnog & using chickpea flour. A little too chickpea-ish, but yummy all the same.
The best lunch ever. It looks pretty simple.. but it was so tasty!
1: Ricotta with blackcurrant jam on four seed bread.
2. Yellow capsicum (called bell pepper in the US I believe?) avocado and rock salt on the same bread
3. Hommus with homemade cherry tomato chutney and rock salt. Probably the best one!
Dutch mints. Mints seem to help with the nausea that accompanies my migraines. I had to hold off buying the whole Dutch section at the supermarket... stroopwafels, chocolate hagel, almond fingers... *drools* (... I'm half Dutch if you're wondering)
Another snack, self-explanatory.
Chocolate avocado mousse - this is a recycled picture, the one I had today didn't have the fancy fruit going on.
Soy cappuccino, caffeine helps dull the pain.
Oats... recycled pic. This morning's oats were actually cranberry & vanilla ;P
Dinner... I know everyone's probably sick of seeing sweet potatoes with nut butter.. but that's what I had for dinner, so there :P
Yummy eats! :) I love mints..even if I dont feel ill. :)
ReplyDeleteThats so cool that your half Ducth!
Can you believe I ALMOST forgot it was WIAW till I saw this post?! Blasphemy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your eats look delicious! Lunch is so colourful. Ricotta with jam sounds like heaven, as does hummus with chutney. I can only imagine how good those combinations taste. :) Happy WIAW!
Booo I am sorry you are feeling ill... migraines are the pits, just so painful! (durrr)
ReplyDeleteGreat eats despite the sick feeling though! I am never ever sick of sweet potatoes with nut butter... I could live on that meal!
Trashy TV is the secret medicine for all aches, pains, and illnesses. I love watching it when I need to lay low. I have to say, I'm not tired of seeing sweet potatoes with nut butter. It's a great combo!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting lunch. I like it. :) Oh, and who could ever get sick of sweet potatoes?!?!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you're a migraine sufferer, but I'm glad you've got some good food to help!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the migraine :( I used to get them all the time, and ugh, misery. But still--not too shabby eats considering! I'm intrigued by that chocolate cherry bread...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I, with my full out love relationship with nut butters, have not tried any nut butter on sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I've never had a sweet potato with nut butter on it? HA! Even though it's a recycled picture I'm glad you posted it, because I need to make this. YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch looks tasty! Bell peppers, it is! Your sweet potato pic reminds me, I need to eat more of them.
ReplyDeleteI hate when migraines strike. Always so awful, but I have never heard of mints helping soothe. I normally either have a big old dose of caffeiene or go to bed. I will have to try the mints though! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet potatoes... Me? Tired of sweet potatoes? Never!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love your creative lunch! Such a yummy, healthy eating day. Stopping by from wiaw!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a sweet potato with nut butter, but it sure sounds good!
ReplyDeleteHow do you make the avocado chocolate mousse? It looks and sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try sweet potato with nut butter! And I love your hodgepodge of toasts!
ReplyDeleteWow that sweet potato looks amazing..the ratio of Greek yog:potato:sweet potato looks perfect! Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYeeessssss! I'm living on sweet potatoes these days. They're the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
ReplyDeleteThe tomato chutney looks so yummy as does your yam. I have actually never tried yams with nut butter, only coconut butter. It's on my list now.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your migraine :( Caffeine definitely helps me get through the pain—but mostly I just hide in the dark waiting for the pain to pass and hoping it will pass sooner!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe I've never had a sweet potato with nut butter!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever get sick of sweet potatoes + nut butter :)
