The Minimalist Yogi

S alut tout le monde,  Another week and weekend as come and gone. Hope you've all had an incroyable weekend, to those who's weekend is about to start, have fun and be adventurous. Over the weekend I didn't have the chance of doing a lot of things, but I manage to fit some time for wine, I had the chance of going to one of my favourite restaurant, Blue Cactus the one place that servers the best nacho in Ottawa. I remember ordering small plate, but when the plate arrived I thought it was large. Also I had the chance of having two glass of pinot noir red wine.  Despite the less adventurous week, I manage to cook something really good that's vegan, vegetarian and eat eaters friendly. Pea and lentil soup, this was suppose to be a soup but it turned into dip, I could've added more vegetable broth, but I decided to go with the dip feeling, and it still taste and looks incroyable . Weekend adventure-Pinot Noir Ingredients :  1-2 cups green lentil (washed and res...

Hiya everyone, happy weekend! unlike everyone, my plan for the weekend is to cook, I came across this great recipe for lentil and cannot wait to try it, i'll keep you guys posted.  With that done, lets talk about FOOD! so a lot of you may not know this, but I had the pleasure of living in Egypt when I was little. The one thing that I always do to remember the great time I had there is by cooking Egyptian foods. Among these great food is falafel and fava beans sandwitch. Every time I have the opportunity to whip this quick recipe I take the chance.  The option is to whether make your own falafel or buy some. I usually tend to go toward buying ones that already made instead of making one at home because its a family tradition at our house to order out every thursday of the month once or twice.  This is something to do if you are lazy and don't feel like cooking.  Ingredients :  -Falafel (store bought)  -fava beans (can) -Peta bread -2 tbsp of curr...

Hi everyone, so continuing on my vegan recipes this is among my favor dish to make. Its very simple and doesn't cost much. Overall I spent about $20 which is pretty good because people think being a vegan is expansive, which can be sometimes. All the ingredients  can be  bought at your grocer store. If you live in Ottawa Canada, the Herb and Spice store is perfect because you get a discount if you are a student like myself, but mostly importantly all of their products are organic.  All the products used are organic.  -Green, yellow, and red bell pepper  -Tofu (firm) -Eggplant  -Apple (red ideally) -Curry Powder -Cumin Powder -Mexican chili powder -Salt -Olive oil   Direction:  To start cut the tofu and apple into little dices. Slice bell peppers and eggplant into any shapes you'd like.  Spice the tofu, apple, peppers and eggplant.  Heat olive oil in a skillet and shallow fry the eggplant until deeply go...
