Over the holidays I attempted to make sushi, the california kind, cucumber, carrots, avocado. I think for my first attempt it turned out not bad. I didn't steam the carrots first, so they were very crunchy and I didn't have a bamboo mat to roll them with so they weren't tight enough. Here are a few pictures:
So I wanted to write a bit today about where my protein comes from. I have had a few people write telling me they would like to try more vegetarian meals but don't like tofu. This too was my thought process when I was thinking of going vegetarian awhile ago, there is more to veggie meals then just tofu, I soon found out. I love lentils and beans (a good source of protein) so this wasn't much of a new thing for me. I found a great Lentil and Gouda soup that was to die for, I love black beans, navy beans, pretty much any kind of bean. I do love tofu as well, I know not many people do, but if you do some research you can find all sorts of tofu recipes where tofu doesn't taste like tofu. We also love nut butters, which are a great source of protein. Almond butter is our favourite, even the picky son likes it. I spread it on a wrap, roll it up and off they go.
Any comments, questions, suggestions please send me an email.
