Avocado & Tomato Green Sandwich

Avocado & Tomato Green Sandwich

So the other day I was really hungry and I wanted something quick to eat.  All I had in my kitchen that day was one roll of bread, from the ones I buy at the fresh market (4 X $1.00). I also had a container of Hummus Spread, Arugula salad, spinach leaves, tomatos and my avocados, which by the way, were finely ripe.  Guess what I made myself to eat that day? That’s right,  I put it all together into a lovely and deliciously divine sandwich.  Some of you may be asking yourselves, “well, what about your protein Angela?”.  I must confess, because I am vegan, I get most of my protein from plants and veggies, it’s that simple!. Avocado itself is rich in protein and healthy omega fat.  I cut the sandwich in half because it was pretty filling and I saved the rest for my better half. ❤ ❤ ❤

Eat healthy if you want to feel, look and be healthy.

Red Kidney Beans

Angie’s Red Kidney Beans!

     Why I love Red Kidney Beans?  It is a perfect side dish to any meal, it is rich in nutrients such as Calcium, Iron, Fiber and for those who are concerned about where they can get foods rich in protein, red beans are excellent source of protein especially when you are trying to minimize the amount of meats you consume.  In this segment, I have prepared a large pressure pot of Red Kidney Beans which I illustrate bigger amounts of portions.  Cook time in a pressure pot varies between 20-30 minutes, these beans took me 25 minutes to cook under Medium High Heat. I like to make a large portion so that my boyfriend and I have enough for the whole week and enough to share with the family.  I tried slicing (1) large carrot and it was a bit too much for that large pot.

     I recommend you use just 1 regular carrot for your soup, 1 celery stick, half a white onion (sliced), 4 cloves of garlic, 1 full jalapeno pepper (sliced), 1 green onion, ground black pepper (5 twist’s), Sea Salt (5) dashes, and optional 1 grated ginger root for added spice & to help aid in digestion because beans tend to be high in gas.

      Begin by rinsing and soaking 2 cup of beans in 5 cups of water.  Then, as you go cutting up your onions, garlic, celery, etc… toss veggies into pot so that your cutting board is cleared of any clutter.

Continue to toss your ingredients into pot every time you’ve slice them up.
