Food for Thought III (You Win Some, You Lose Some)

Cumin-infused Vegetables and Chickpeas over Quinoa from Fat Free Vegan (full recipe in link) - WIN!  I love it when I see an ingredient in a recipe list and think, "Really?  That?  In there?" and then it totally works.  The raisins made this dish.  I couldn't stop eating it.



And the rest are all from Everyday Happy Herbivore since I'm still trying to go light!

Andrea's Puttanesca - Lose.  It looked pretty enough, but it was pretty bland.  Won't be repeating this one.


Sweet and Sour Tempeh - This wasn't a favorite either.  I've made a very similar dish using her teriyaki sauce from the same book and it was muuuuuch better.


Chili-Sweet Mango Noodles - I hate mangoes.  Not their flavor.  They're freaking delicious!  But I HATE, HATE, HATE cutting them!  They're so damn juicy and sticky!  But DAMNIT they were good in this!  To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed by this one either when I ate it right out of the skillet.  But when I ate it cold out of the fridge for lunch the next day?  It was a completely different dish.  If I make this one again, I'll definitely make it ahead and eat it cold!


Indian Spiced Chickpeas and Kale - Mmmmmm, kale.  Big win!  This recipe says it serves two.  Yeah... about that... not if I'M one of those two people.  Haha  This was crazy good.  I love the flavor of garam masala, so this was right up my alley!
