Wednesday Lunch: Coconut milk infused purple rice with veggies🌱🥥🍄🫑🍅😋❤️🌺

Hello everyone, hope you have a wonderful midweek so far! 🤗

Today I made coconut milk infused purple rice with a mixture of shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, baby tomatoes, red onions and garnished with plenty of pomegranate seeds. Everything is seasoned beautifully with variety of herbs as usual. 😋👍

I got today meal cooked so I can later on move to prep my batch of gluten-free Vegan Mooncakes to gift to all my friends and family this weekend. Everything in this cake needs details and precision as well as designs for presentation. 😁👍

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Your food always looks lovely 😊

Thank you very much H. for saying that about my food! 😊🙏

My parents shared lots of pomegranates from their friend’s tree and I love to incorporate with our usual vegan dishes. 😁👍

Hope you enjoy your day with lovely meals also.🤗

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊 I can only imagine how sweet pomegranates picked from the tree must be. Anything eaten soon after being picked has so much more flavour and sweetness.

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

You are absolutely right, these fresh seeds bring out the natural sweetness, very flavorful additional to veggies dishes. Have you cooked anything with pomegranate seeds so far? 😊

P.S. I saw your replies and I know you are a great cook 😁👍

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Hidden]

I’m not a great cook, but thank you for saying that. I’ve eaten pomegranates many times but I’ve never cooked with them. Maybe I should look for some recipe ideas and try to use the seeds in my cooking. Thank you for the inspiration 😊

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

That sounds wonderful, please share with us if you find something interesting. I’m always excited to learn new recipes to try. 😊🙏

[Nessie87]

That looks awesome! Full of delicious healthful veggies, and enticing to the eye, and I’m sure even better to eat!You should write a book with all these recipes in.

[Hidden in reply to Nessie87]

Thank you Nessie87 for saying that about my meals, you are too kind! 😊🙏

I love how vegan diet inspires all of us to eat healthy and creating our meals with the blessing of Mother Nature. 🤗 I’m very into holistic ways of life and always want to live accordingly. I’m on gluten free restriction so that is a brilliant idea you have to write a book about these. 😁

Enjoy the rest of your day with healthy and wonderful meals you have always I am sure. 😇👍

[Hidden in reply to Byron2020]

Hi Byron2020, thank you very much for saying that about my meals! 😊🙏

These mooncakes’ filling and cover require to stay in the fridge after prepped for many hours before assembling, I sure will share the final result. 😋👍

Hope you have a good rest of the evening! 🤗

I had egg sandwiches and a tomato for today's lunch as we went swimming at a lido which I really enjoyed.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I’m so glad you enjoyed your lunch and especially swimming at lido. So healthy mind and body I bet you feel great right now. 🤗👍

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I asked them at the lido to put a lane in for us who wanted to do serious swimming and they did as well!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow they are so nice. You remind me of Youth Club in high school as I chose swimming my PE. I am glad the weather is great for you to swim and hang out. 😁👍

[Kainan Guest]

Yeah wow that sure is seasoned beautifully. Really healthy stuff Koko 👍 I'm certain the pomegranate seeds added lots of flavor to each bite

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Thank you very much Kainan for saying that!🤗🙏You know how pineapple fried rice? This is kind of that concept adding some citrusy, sweet and tangy in there. 😋👍

How is it going with the granola? 😁

[Kainan Guest in reply to Hidden]

All done. It’s good. Thanks to your recipe.

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

You’re welcome Kainan. Now you have some good snacks for days. 😋👍
