Happy New Year Lunch 2022: Gluten-free Maple syrup glazed Plantains and Bamboo Rice, black beans Jambalaya 🌱🌶🍌🍄😋💚

Hello everyone, hope you have a great start into the New Year 2022! I wish you all great health and continue to find inspiration and joy in this wonderful life journey with VFL community! 🤗

Today I made this simple gluten free Vegan Jambalaya dish. 😋

Recipe:

1. Cooked bamboo rice with cashew milk and black beans with Cajun seasonings.

2. Add sliced sweet chilis and mushrooms.

3. Baked sliced ripe plantains with avocado oil and maple syrups.

This dish turns out great that can warm our bodies up within seconds with all the spice and refreshing pieces of savory plantains. I enjoyed this so much with a nice cup of earl grey tea. 😁

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

Thank you Kainan 🙏🤗

How’s your New Year Day? 😁 This year I couldn’t go hiking at Monrovia because of the flood, mudslide as they close all access to hike up there. I just went groceries and cooked up some lunch/dinner.

Hope you have a great lunch and enjoy this winter break before school starts! 🤗

Thanks 😊 I just went for a walk at Rocky Point and it was great! Lots of fog. Have a great rest of the day!

Oh wow (which I think I may have said out loud) that looks so good 😋 I definitely would like to try making this one. I'm going to have lunch with my mum today, one of my favourite vegetables dish that she makes of Brussels sprouts, spinach and peas in a creamy garlic sauce with nutmeg. With that, potatoes and smoked tofu wiener. 😋

Awe thank you HungryHufflepuff very much! 🙏🤗

This is like a rice risotto but with the ingredients and spice add on, it gives a good jambalaya kick in this coldness. I do enjoy this for leftover today too as it’s so comforting to have. 😋👍

Wow your mom’s lunch sounds not only healthy but so delicious full of flavor. I love nutmeg garlic sauce sooooo yummy, good sauce makes everything great. I’m glad you enjoyed your wonderful lunch with your mom. 🤗👍
