TODAY’S LUNCH 🍅🫘🍚

One pouch jasmine rice.
A handful of frozen black eyed peas.
A handful of frozen haricots verts.
A handful of seasoned wild mushrooms.
One can diced tomatoes — drained.

Then I threw on:
• Trader Joe’s crispy garlic
• sunflower seeds
• Trader Joe’s umami seasoning

That’s it.

Cheap.
Fast.
Warm.
Filling.
Mostly shelf/freezer food.

Honestly tasted like something from a little café that would charge you $18 and call it a “rustic grain bowl.”

Shopping with me at Trader Joe’s. EPISODE 1

AlVegan @ Trader Joe'ses that I was looking at were 3% sodium or less. This is a very doable whole food plant friendly amount of sodium.

Bring both flavors while keeping the cooking process simple with seasoning blends like this. Trader Joe’s is awesome for unique and interesting seasoning blends

In English the word Puttanesca means “lady of the evening” to put it lightly. It’s a slang term and you can use your own imagination here.
Regardless, the flavours are spicy, zesty and full of life. The original is commonly served with a squeeze of lemon and seafood.

The plant friendly version simply removes the anchovies.

Serve it with whatever or however you like.

You do you!

Yes you can!
