Chakula Tayari: Strawberry Banana Vegan French Toast

My mom has been freaking out over the amount of food that is now in her refrigerator. This happens every time I visit because I down produce like no tomorrow; which is why I'm always stocked up on fruits and veggies. 

On the menu is strawberry banana french toast. It is super quick, easy and yummy! I threw a banana and four strawberries in a blender with some honey and about a cup of soy milk. While I soaked three slices of toast in the strawberry banana mixture I heated a pan with some earth balance. The toast cooked so well and the final result was crisp and yummy. 

On the side I had more yummy strawberries, walnuts and a large mug of dandelion root tea. I'll be honest and say that dandelion root tea has a very earthy taste. Most of my friends are completely turned off by the taste but it is by far my favorite tea.

Chakula Tayari: Broccoli and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps

When I was in Tanzania  last year my professor's wife use to always yell "chakula tyari," which is Kiswahili for "food is ready," to call everyone to the dinner table. Everyone ate dinner are 4pm, which was insane to me but the food was always prepared so well by the woman hired that the phrase stuck with me. 

Dinner is ready and on the menu we have broccoli and mushroom stir-fry in lettuce wraps with a avocado and lemon spread. The sides are yummy strawberries and walnuts. This is me trying to be a little adventurous and it worked! The result was mouth watering.

The stir-fry was just a mix of garlic, red onion, mushrooms, and broccoli with a little evoo. For the avocado spread, I mashed half an avocado with sea salt and lemon zest. Next time I think I add some black beans to the wrap.
