Vegan Geschnetzeltes (Creamy German Hunter’s Sauce)

Ingredients:

1 large sweet onion, diced

8 oz mushrooms, diced 

2 Tbsp vegan butter

2 Tbsp all purpose flour

1 tsp roasted vegetable Better Than Bouillon

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp italian seasoning

1 tsp ground cumin

2 handfuls baby spinach (or more or less if you prefer)

½ 13.5oz can coconut milk

salt & pepper to taste

cooked spaetzle  *I haven’t found any store bought that doesn’t contain eggs but there are recipes to make them at home on youtube –I’m an idiot and didn’t even think about it until after the fact.  Other vegan pastas would be lovely as well. 

 Instructions:

Dice onion and mushrooms, set aside and move on to the roux.  In a 10 inch skillet melt 2 Tbsp butter over medium heat until beginning to bubble and foam, to this add 2 Tbsp flour and stir to combine.  Continue stirring and watch carefully for the roux to turn a dark amber, don’t leave it or it will burn and you’ll have to start over.

To the amber roux add diced onion, stir to coat onions and saute for 5 minutes.  Add mushrooms, stir to combine and saute another 3 minutes.

Add roasted vegetable bouillon, soy sauce, ground cumin–stir to combine.  Mix in spinach.  Once the spinach has wilted pour in ½ a can of coconut milk, start with less and add more until desired consistency is achieved.  It will thicken slightly as it cooks but not much.  If it does thicken too much add more coconut milk to thin. 

Simmer covered for around 10-15 minutes then serve over spaetzle.  Enjoy!

some of the most important health & fitness tips I wish someone told me when I started out:

modify your moves. Don’t worry if you can’t squat down all the way or can’t run for too long, you can only get better from here!

I don’t care what your hyperactive fitness instructor tells you - drink your water and take a break if you need it. you are not a machine. don’t destroy your health trying to get fit

protein and carbs are your friends

don’t ask random blogs on tumblr serious health questions you could look up or ask a doctor

don’t try to match your instructor’s pace during a workout. It’s form, not speed. Do not compete with them. 10 good lunges > 20 sloppy ones

don’t have weights? Find something heavy - a textbook, water bottles, whatever works for you

IF YOU ARE HURT DO NOT WORK OUT

IF YOU ARE TIRED AND EXHAUSTED DO NOT WORK OUT

PUSHING YOURSELF TO “THE LIMIT” DOES NOT MEAN WORKING OUT UNTIL YOU’RE READY TO THROW UP

Always do a quick warm up and cool down

Treat yourself often

forget workout clothes. You don’t need Nikes and expensive yoga pants. An old tee shirt and some cheap gym shorts will do just fine

Stay hydrated

Trial and error. Success is a bumpy road

Do not compare your chapter one to someone else’s chapter 10

Fitspo posts and before & afters are great but remember you can be the same height & weight as someone and never look like them. You never know the full story behind that picture

Try not to measure your progress in strictly numbers

Calories do not reflect nutrition.

Peanut butter is higher in fat but are healthy fats

Fruits have natural sugar in them that your body needs DO NOT AVOID FRUITS

1200 calories is barely enough to survive

Please do not do just cardio alone

Quality over quantity. A 30 minute intense workout will always beat a half ass 2 hour elliptical workout

Try different things. You may like running, you may not. Maybe yoga, swimming, dance, hiking, etc. Try things out.

YOU WILL NOT BULK UP NO ONE ACCIDENTALLY BULKS UP

All you need is your body to work out. Don’t stress over gyms

Do it for YOU. Not the boys and the crop tops and the “stares”

Rest days are essential. Take as many as you need. Never skip a rest day, your body needs to heal

Losing weight does not guarantee happiness. It never does. Don’t put your other problems on hold to focus on your body, they’ll catch up with you ten fold later and it’s not fun
