For breakfast I had a berry smoothie (cherries, blueberries, hemp hearts, almond milk, flax) and our son had a mulberry, papaya, mango chia cereal with almond milk and grapes.
For lunch we had a large salad and leftover butternut squash parmesan.
For snack we had pears and dates
For dinner we made chili with Paleo bread
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried Adzuki Beans, soaked overnight
1/2 cup dried Black Beans, soaked overnight
1/2 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
Drain and rinse the beans. Cover the beans with water at least 1 inch above the bean level. Set the Instant pot on manual for 5 minutes. Allow a natural release. Drain the beans and place in a bowl.
2 cups starchy vegetable (sweet or white potato, corn, carrots or butternut squash), diced
1 large onion, diced
2 bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 quart canned tomatoes
Sauté the vegetables with the juice from the canned tomatoes in the instant pot
Add the beans and stir in the following
1-2 tsp chili powder
1 TBS molasses
1 TBS paprika
1 TBS cumin
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp oregano
1 TBS cacao nibs or one square of unsweetened chocolate
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce or liquid aminos (coconut or soy)
1/2 cup red wine (optional)
if needed add vegetable broth to cover the vegetables and beans
Slow cook for 4+ hours, what works best for your schedule or use the manual setting for 10 minutes with a natural release.
top with cilantro, avocado, green onions, and cheddar cheese (aquafaba for us)
Sounds fantastic! You top with aquafaba? Haven't tried that. Does it add a good flavor? Or just make for better texture? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe aquafaba cheddar cheese is similar to adding cheddar cheese to the top of chili
DeleteThanks! I've never bought any commercial aquafaba. Maybe it's time to check it out.
DeleteWe make it. If you find it commercial, please let me know. It isn't difficult to make, but sometimes...
