Avocado toast with all the trimmings. 🥑🥑🍳🍳 Wholewheat bread topped with sauteed spinach, avocado, organic smoked salmon and a fried organic egg. On another note, this morning's activity is declogging the sinks in my home using Pepsi leftover from a barbecue we had a month ago and it's working like a charm. I usually use baking soda and apple cider vinegar to get the job done, but I'm out, and I've got more "soft" drinks than I'd like in my home. Are there any other home remedies you'd recommend? #straightupbananas #breakfast #avocadotoast

Yesterday's cornbread ventures paired with a spicy-ass vegan 2-bean chili that had us all blowing our nose and laughing :) This veg chili is probably one of the oldest recipes I ever posted on Straightupbananas and the recipe is on the link in my bio! As for the cornbread, I used a recipe I found on @itdoesnttastelikechicken and sort of played with it a bit. VEGAN CORNBREAD: 1 1/4 cup of cornmeal (not cornflour) 1 cup of organic all purpose flour 1 cup of almond milk 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil 1 teaspoon of baking powder Mix and bake at 200c for 15 minutes. #straightupbananas #plantbased #chili #avocado

How many pasta dishes can I post before you start to unfollow me? My go-to lunch recipe when my heads just not right. A 15 minute eggplant and caper tomato spaghetti filled with loooooooads of chives and dill. I've got a very similar recipe in the link in my bio right now. Just swap the feta with capers :) #straightupbananas #lunch #plantbased #pasta

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper easy, i cannot even begin to tell you. #straightupbananas #lunch #pasta #plantbased

Growing up, I have really distinct memories of waking up early just to help my father make breakfast--the only meal he knew had to make (well lol)--for all 7 of us (5 kids and my parents). Friday morning's always started with a feast of hummus, falafel, foul, fresh bread straight from the bakery, along with some fresh manaeesh. Like every palestinian father out there, he believed the guy from the bakery was trying to dupe him with sub-par olive oil (aka car transmission fluid), zaatar amd eggs, and so he always waltzed into the bakery with all the ingredients from my mother's pantry. My uncles and grandfather all did the same in their homes. Today's post is an homage to the humble manaeesh منقوشة Made with: 1 cup of chickpea flour 1 cup of water Olive oil and zaatar Topped with the last of the vegan cheese from @eatcleanme, cucumber slices, more zaatar, tomatoes and olives. #straightupbananas #AprilisForArabFood #manaeesh #plantbased #proteinbreakfast #palestinian
