to start our gluten free cooking/baking day, we headed for Seward Co-op for ingredients. We are obviously very excited
Of course, we got a lot of Gin Gins to keep us awake (I had been up since 5 in the morning, biking, working out, working, then called out to Wisconsin and back for a work stat. I needed a pick up) and now Jolene is addicted to them too.
I scooped out zucchini
and we mixed up quinoa, white beans, finely ground almonds and two cloves garlic, grape tomatoes, olive oil, and Parmesan
I began prepping the lamb burgers, pre-mixed with feta, garlic, and red onions
then pan seared them in olive oil
meanwhile, Jolene mixed ingredients for the chickpea chocolate cake (chickpeas, eggs, baking soda, organic sugar, melted semi-sweet chocolate chips)
once the burgers were done, we covered them in the quinoa stuffing
still mixing
more mixing
while she was mixing, I put the remaining stuffing in the zucchini and baked them, 20 minutes wrapped in tin foil, then another 5-10 minutes uncovered, drizzled in olive oil and Parmesan for the last 5.
(also, holy wow you can tell I need a haircut. that's next week)
sooooo gooooood!
and then I fell asleep on the couch with Buddy on my lap before the cake was finished. No cake for me :(
(but I had to go back to work in a few hours, so I needed the nap)
June 6 is (international?) Donut Day!! So I went to Gigi's and bought their last donut. Not greasy, just very light, mildly sugared and delightful
the folks in the kitchen have claimed that I am officially awesome because of this customized burger that I ordered. Spinach and walnut, avocado and bacon, herb aioli.
Also, all the workers had a good laugh when I told them that I used to go by the name Becky. They all pretty much yelled at the same time "NOOOO!!!! God no!"
My feelings exactly whenever I hear it these days.
