Small Bowl #20
I had a larger spread in mind initially, but life happens, sometimes. So here we have baked veggie fried rice (recipe from Cozy Peach Kitchen ) and cucumber edamame salad (recipe from Dishing Out Health ). The rice was delicious, and so was the salad. It had what seemed like enough protein going for it, since I had edamame (mukimame, technically--okay, let's just call them soybeans) in both the rice and the salad and also there were cashews in the rice. And it was enough calories. But it wasn't satisfying, somehow. When I had the leftovers, I mixed vegan mayo into the rice, and that made all the difference--and the whole thing was delicious! If I'd managed to make the things I planned, I would have had a more substantial meal without the need for mayo, but sometimes life is what it is.
