Last night the Naruto teachers got together for our once-a-month dinner event. This time it was my turn to host the meal and I was happy to have the chance to cook for five people (Caitlin was there as well) instead of just myself. Here is what I made:
Mixed fruit/veggie salad
two bundles of spinach
one head of red leaf lettuce
1/2 of a sliced pineapple
4 sliced kiwis
3 sliced carrots
2 sliced onions
one container of cherry tomatoes
basil leaves
broccoli
one handful of sliced scallions
one package of clover sprouts
cashews
sesame seeds
Homemade sweet and spicy citrus honey mustard dressing
juice from one squeezed orange and 3 squeezed mikans (Japanese citrus fruit)
apple cider vinegar
pure honey
black sesame paste
sesame and olive oil
spicy dijon mustard
two large scoops of nutritional yeast
crushed black pepper
Sauteed sesame-style veggies
3 sliced red peppers
one large bag of mushrooms (sliced)
2 sliced onions
sesame seeds
sesame oil
salt/pepper as seasoning
(sauteed for 45 minutes on low heat and served over brown rice)
Pineapple yogurt granola
Three cups of yogurt
1/2 of a sliced pineapple (put in a food processor in with the yogurt)
2 sliced bananas
one bag of prunes (pitted and diced)
2 cups of granola
pure maple syrup for added sweetness
And the best thing about hosting is my fridge full of leftovers. Nothing like coming home to prepared food to make my Monday a little easier.
