Cats and Eats

Chunk and Kanye, with an Afro photobomb

I wanted to say Happy Friday in the cutest way possible! My three little grey kitties blending in with the Seattle grey! Cutest spoons ever!
With all the grey, I needed a pick me up, so I added lots of ginger to my orange carrot juice.

Ginger always makes me feel energized and refreshed. I like the combination of ginger and parsley in my green juice too.

I had some potatoes that needed to be used, so I chopped them and roasted them with a little bit of coconut oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, and smoked paprika. Coconut oil is definitely my favorite for roasting potatoes. I then topped these morsels with one of my new favorite condiments.

It's like HP sauce got mixed with some cajun spices. It is tangy, garlic-y, a little spicy. It's everything. I randomly saw this somewhere, maybe Target, or the grocery close to my house, not sure but I feel like it is as essential to my pantry as sriracha. It's so good, I try to think of things to make so I can use this sauce.
For dinner I made the Cold Szechuan Noodle Salad on page 176 of Fire and Spice by Robin Robertson. You know how sometimes when you order cold sesame noodles it's a tahini/peanut butter based sauce, and other times a thinner sesame oil/soy sauce based sauce? Well, this is the second one and I love it so much! The recipe called for egg free Chinese noodles, or linguini, but in the spirit of using what you have, I used fettuccine noodles and it was just fine. I served mine with some oven baked tofu and it hit every spot.

I'm excited to try more recipes from this book. I want to cook the whole Asia chapter!
Happy Friday!
