Yay! The weekend is here! Anyone doing anything fun?
I finally finished those fabulous blueberries this morning when I made hubby and I blueberry-banana oatmeal. Nom! Soooo tasty!
My lunch eats were a bit on the random side due to lack of groceries and my inability to take a break from work to go grocery shopping.
For lunch #1, I had an AB+J+Chia Sammie on Dakota with some green peas. Have you tried chia seeds on your PB+J yet? If not…you should! It’s fab!
For lunch #2, I had a quick soba noodle stir fry with fresh garlic, green beans, and sesame seeds. I love a good noodle bowl!
I did a play on those vegan mini tarts, but this time with some modifications.
I used the same crust recipe as before, but this time I used this handy-dandy mini tart tool, which helped form the cups.
Last time I made these mini tarts, I just added fruit and a gel-y topping. But, I’ve always wanted to add a sort of pastry cream filling. So, I made one today using tofu.
I decided to sample a tart before I took them over to our friend’s place tonight…just in case my experiment was a total fail.
Take a tart.
Add cream filling and fruit and enjoy!
Ok, I left off the shiny topping for my sample….it wasn’t ready yet. I still had to go to Zumba class and THEN finish dessert.
Sooo…I went off for another fabulous hour of zumba tonight, and yes…that makes 6 straight days of zumba. phew!
I came back home and assembled dessert and then headed out to meet some friends.
Our friends were having a bit of a cook-off.
While our chefs worked, I snacked on tortilla chips, Stacys pita chips, salsa, and raw veggies (broccoli and baby carrots).
Burger Slider #1 – a lovely grilled burger with cole slaw and I believe pimento cheese.
Burger Slider #2 – another love grilled burger, this time made with monterrey jack cheese, spinach, tomatoes and a sweet Hawaiian sauce.
They were both delicious! Can I call a tie?! 🙂
My vegan fruit tarts were big hit and I don’t think anyone was even vegan! 😆 I was worried they were a fail, but thank goodness they turned out ok!
I’ll be posting the recipe tomorrow. Gotta get some zees for now. G’night all!
What’s your favorite type of burger/slider? Any particular toppings, sauces, seasonings?
(Hubby and I may actually do sliders at our housewarming next weekend!!)
Can’t wait for the recipe! Fruit tarts are the perfect summer dessert!
Those tarts look so pretty and what fancy sliders.
I have to say, your blog is always such a delight to read!!
Where did you find that cute mini tart tool? Must have!! 🙂
Currently, burger wise, I’m hooked on Big Daddy’s Burger Bar. I held out on this place for so long, but we live only a few blocks from it, so hubs and I decided to give it a go. I was so surprised by their menu – it’s wonderful! Anyway, I tried a bison burger (have you looked a bison in a nutritional sense? Completely blown away by it’s benefits as opposed to other burgers such as beef, turkey, etc) and it was absolutely delish! Had it with avocado and pepperjack on texas toast. Holy smokes, it was amazing. Side of sweet potato fries made it even better 🙂
