gobo

When I was in New York filming Gods Behaving Badly, I needed a quick meal. I was rushing to rehearsals, so I went to Japanese-vegetarian restaurant Gobo, and had the Seitan Kale Special. It came with rice and seitan, and the kale was delicious.

I also went to Whole Foods in the village for a couple of other yummy treats...a really good split pea soup.

What quick and simple dishes are you loving right now?

Chia pudding! Love chia pudding. If you like tapioca pudding this raw chia pudding is amazing!

There are some local Vietnamese noodle places that will prepare any dish using tofu instead of meat. And I always make sure to ask them to use a veg broth, too. The food is inexpensive & quick. I'm also a big fan of the daily soups @ WF, some of my favorites are: Black Bean, Turkish Lentil, Vegetable & their Mushroom Barley (loooooove this one!)

For quick at home meals, my go-to are tostadas or soft tacos. For breakfast it's a p&j w/a green smoothie.

i love gobo! there is one near my office. my favorite meal fix has been squash lately. just throw it in the oven & its done!

Okay! So a great winter soup that I created out of just stuff in my house:

minced carrots, celery, parsley and dill  (onion and garlic if you want) (2 c carrots, 4-6 stalks celery, dill and parsley 1/4 c each minced) 

I actually used a chopper for the veggies but a food processor would work

Sautee veggies right in a soup pot in a little earth balance butter or olive oil

when tender add:

dill and parsley, 1 can corn kernels (drain a little first) 

1 can black beans (drain a little first),

1 can organic pumpkin (without any spices- just pumpkin)

 2 cups water,

1 tblsp nutmeg,

1/2 tsp salt or adobo

1/2 tsp black pepper

Let that all simmer for about 15 min

Turn down low and let cool a little before adding:

2 cups soy or almond milk (makes it nice thick and creamy)

YUMMMMM!!!!

And because I'm from the south I like to make cornbread hoe cakes to go with it using earth balance butter or veggie shortening, almond or soy milk and a little applesauce instead or the egg

As I fry them up, I put a few drops of hot sauce on each one :o)

Quinoa Chili...

That sounds really healthy Alicia. Can anyone tell me what seitan is though?;)

I used to live right near Gobo, and miss it SO much!!  It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

I absolutely love Gobo!  One of my favorite restaurants with out of this world food :)
