Indian Vegetable Korma, vegetables in a creamy coconut sauce

 Hello,

As some of you know, today is a beautiful fall day here.  I hope it is wherever you are.  Buddy (our dog) and I went on a nice ride to Homer Lake (about 20 miles east of here for those of you unfamiliar) and had a lovely walk.  There was hardly anyone there and it was easy to keep lots of distance from those who were there enjoying the day.  Last night, I made the dish featured in today's post:  Indian Vegetable Korma, vegetables in a creamy coconut sauce.  Actually, the Korma was pre-made so I just heated it up and then added the salad fixings and the yogurt.  It might be a little bland looking but it was delicious and easy to prepare.  

Also, I don't know how many of you know this but I used to be an avid bird watcher.  I still love to watch birds and with more time now have reengaged that hobby.  Today, at Homer Lake, we saw what was either a Great Blue Heron in "white-phase" or a Great Egret.  I bet it was the former because I've seen Great Blue Herons in the area over time.  When I got home I looked it up and learned that the way to identify which one it is depends on the color of its legs.  I was rather far even with binoculars to see too much detail but it was magnificent in any case, FYI.  

Take care,

Faye

Homemade Hummus

 Dear Readers, I hope a few of you are still connected. It would be nice to hear from you.  Today, I finished an easy homemade hummus recipe. Hummus--anything made from beans or peas--is by nature not low carb. However, in moderation it is a wonderful addition to the diet.  https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-recipe / My version looks similar to the one with the recipe's post. It is mild for February in Champaign.  Hope you are able to enjoy the day. Happy eating! Faye

Cold soft tofu dish

Image
 Hello, I hope you are staying cool during what, at least in Champaign, is hot weather.  Today, I prepared a cold dish made with silken soft tofu, 3 scallions finely sliced, 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of toasted sesame oil, and a tablespoon of soy sauce (can use coconut amino if you don't use soy.)  I added toasted sesame seeds, listed as optional. You may add other ingredients but the basic recipe was delicious. Refrigerate or eat right away. One thing to keep in mind is that, apparently, silken tofu crumbles easily. I look forward to eating this dish as part of tomorrow's Shabbos lunch. Take care and stay well. Faye

Odd combination?

Thank you for your patience. Food choices of late have not inspired me to post. Tonight begins Shavuot . It is customary to eat dairy foods on this holiday. Thus post's photo features gluten free pizza and a slice of cheesecake. Salad was also part of the meal.  The pizza basically covered my carb portion of the evening. I only had a nimble of cheesecake as I don't think it is gluten free or low carb. However, for tradition, why not?  Happy Shavuot! I hope you are well. Please continue to be careful out there even though some of the COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted. To your good health!
