Deals and Cheap Meals

You guys know I love Lantana hummus. It's definitely my favorite store bought hummus. They have some really interesting flavors, and every one I try is my favorite! Winco sells Lantana hummus for the best price I've seen anywhere, so I like to pick some up whenever I'm there. This is another winner! It's smooth and creamy and definitely mild. The green chile flavor is very mild, it's not spicy at all. Delicious!!
I also found Cholula at Winco for only $1.98 a bottle! Cholula is my favorite hot sauce but I rarely buy it because it's usually a lot more than that at other stores.  I also had to treat myself to another mocha vegan frappucino. These are under three dollars, and I get two or three servings out of a bottle so it's a pretty decent deal!
Yesterday I made a chickpea pancake for breakfast and doused it with nooch, green pepper cholula and half of a gorgeous avocado. The green pepper Cholula is like a spicier version of my beloved Green Dragon sauce from Trader Joe's. I will definitely buy again!!
I made Laksa curry the other night. It was pretty good, but honestly it was a bit more complicated than a regular curry and didn't really taste that much different. But since I love curry so much it's fun to play around with different versions.
Last night I had another rice bowl with peanut sauce, but this time I used soy curls instead of tofu! See, my food isn't boring, Ha!
I've definitely been stuck in a kitchen rut. I feel satisfied with my food, I'm pretty much eating what I've been craving, and I guess I've been craving lots of the same thing. Hopefully I get out of this funk soon, I do miss creating new things in the kitchen. One day the light bulb will go off again!

  2. I know most curry laksa recipes are served over rice noodles is kind-of like a soup. So maybe that makes different more so than the flavors?

    That hummus sounds super tasty!

  3. Your rut looks like the tastiest most comforting rut to be in though. It is good that you are listening to what you feel like eating. I would like to bury my face in a that peanut rice soy curl bowl!
