I’ve had a streak of really delicious meals lately. Here’s what’s been making my tummy happy over the last few days…
I used some of the baked apples I made recently over a big dollop of Greek Gods fig yogurt. That has got to be the most delicious yogurt I’ve ever tasted. It has real fig puree in it not just a flavoring, so it’s very earthy and thick. With some toasted buckwheat on top, this was a killer combination.
And I had that same yogurt again today over some strawberries, grapes, and pineapple. I topped it with some puffed amaranth and it was awesome! The grapes tasted especially amazing with the fig yogurt.
I washed it down with the last of our keemun tea. This tea has a deep roasted aroma like coffee beans or smoldering wood. Love the reflection in it!
And for lunch I had a salad with a side of jackfruit and a sliced orange…
I rarely enjoy the salads that I make for myself, but this one was fantastic! It was mixed baby lettuces, Trader Joe’s broccoli slaw, sprouts, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, avocado, and Annie’s red pepper dressing. Tasted amazing and had great texture.
I am still so surprised by the flavor of jackfruit with every bite! It is so unusual but totally delicious. I’ve also been eating oranges like they’re going out of style. I’m eating 2 a day sometimes!
And check out this amazing and easy dinner we had last night…tostadas con huevos!
It was a flour tortilla toasted up in the oven and then topped with vegetarian refried beans, salsa, 2 fried eggs, monterrey jack cheese, and sour cream. Served it up with a sliced avocado.
And it could not be simpler to make…

So much good food lately! I’m on a roll!
What’s the best thing you’ve eaten today?
I’m going to have to pick up some of that jackfruit the next time I’m at the farmer’s market.
Make sure to look for one with colorful rather than pale fruit in it and try to find a wedge shaped piece rather than an entire pod half like I did. And hold it with a washcloth or something because the sap on the outer peel is super sticky and I had a hard time getting it off. It’s awesome when you finally get it out of the husk!
Those Tostadas con huevos look amazing. I need that in my life.
Oh, all this wonderful colourful fruit and yoghurt and salads make me long for an end to the cold of winter! I keep wanting to make smoothies and salads, theoretically, but then my house is so freezing that I can’t quite do it… The fig yoghurt sounds AMAZEPANTS.
That huge salad looks great! Love the sprouts and avocado on there. The fig yogurt also sounds amazing..I was just thinking about figs! I don’t eat dairy so I don’t really get to enjoy the thicker yogurts but I would definitely like to mix some fig preserves or puree into my soygurt.
That sounds like a delicious idea! I love soy yogurt but it tends to only come in the most basic flavors like vanilla and strawberry.
