Weather Mix-Up
Hello, hello! This afternoon, we took the dogs to the park, where Ella played in the water for over an hour—she was really worn out by the end!
When we came home, I talked to my friend Sarah for a long time—it was great to catch-up! Sarah lives in Brooklyn, and I’m really hoping that we’ll be able to take a trip up to NYC to visit her sometime soon!
For the past few days, the weather here has been cool, rainy, and dreary—definitely more fall than summer. Because of this, I decided that we needed a warm meal tonight—no raw for us!
But, of course, just as I began to cook, the sun came out and it got really warm out. Ha! Oh well…dinner was great anyway!
In a pan, I cooked one onion and one chopped zucchini in a bit of olive oil. To that, I added curry powder, cumin seeds, garam masala, and salt + pepper, along with 1 can of diced tomatoes, about a cup of water, about a third of a cup of quinoa, and some crumbled tempeh. I cooked all of this down for about 30 minutes, until the quinoa was cooked and the sauce had thickened. It was a bit of a hodge podge combination, but it was really tasty!
Yum! Off for a little more True Blood…we’re officially addicted. See you tomorrow!
I’ve had quinoa for the 2nd night in a row. I think I’m truly addicted.
I am glad the day got better weather wise and dinner looks delicious! Have a great night Anna!
I love that you’re addicted. Welcome to the club!
That dinner looks amazing! I’ve never tried to make my own version of Indian, but I might have to try that out! Anything with quinoa and veggies makes a perfect dinner.
MMMM sounds good to me. I never think to crumble tempeh.
That dinner looks so awesome!! It looks so perfect for a cooler night!!
Looks great! This chilly (ha! 75 degrees!) weather made me crave chili Monday and soup last night. Tonight, I went out for Indian and it really hit the spot.
Hodge podge dinners are almost always the best. And anything with quinoa is already a winner in my book…I am totally addicted to it! True Blood, not so much. I might be the only person who has never seen it!
yum! i’ve never really seen quinoa cooked in anything else other than broth or water…sounds amazing!
Yuum! I would have eaten that regardless of the weather too. Quinoa is so good.
ew we’re supposed to get similar weather here soon and im not looking forward to it. but this shows that it can best be dealt with, with warm food! yum yum yum <3
True Blood is just way too good. One of my friends claims the books are fantastic. I’m a little worried about diving into something else I will surely become addicted to…
true blood. have never seen the show.. yes, i live under a rock
great eats girl!
wehave the same weather here…i think summer is over!
The meal looks great! I love just throwing Indian spices into a hodge podge…it will taste good no matter what!
Tempeh is one I have not tried yet. Need to consider it
I love it!
That looks awesome! Isn’t it kind of fun to be addicted to a TV show?
Sad, but I liked it. 24 was my obsession.
wow- your photos are GORGEOUS!!!
