Yeah. I haven't forgot about the blog. Um I've just become very annoyed with the results that I have I have nothing but rice and beans. I'll post more stuff shortly when I have the energy and not constantly rejected by places that i Interview at.
This is not your typical vegetarian blog. It is my goal to show that eating healthy is possible while not being able to afford typical "health food". Empowerment through eating from food pantries. "i can"

G.F. zucchini chia seed loaf
The site is called freeloafing and I finally made a loaf
2 eggs
2 cups flower ( 1 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup rice 1/4 cup tapioca 1/4 quionia )
1 TBS xatham gum
1 1/2 cups suguar
1 1/2 cups chia seeds
2 zucchini
1 cup kombucha
1 cup oil (grapeseed)
Mix ingredients add flower and xamtham gum last.
Use loaf pan or muffin tins
Bake at 325 for 50 mins
If using muffin tin 350 for 20 mins
By far this is the most complicated resipie I have ever done. Equally the least successful. But a learning experience. There was a portion of the loaf in the center near the bottom that was not baked throughally but the rest came out perfectly. I welcome any successful varatation on this that people ariave at. :-)

Vegitarian salsa over rice
OK so last night I had black beans and rice tonight was the same (almost) beggers cannot be choosie
1 can of black beans rinced add 1 can of tomatoes. (Dised chopped halved whatever)... throw into a pot over the stove. I mixed in motzerllia so it thickened up. Nicely. :-) add spices as u would like. Tonight I used basil and pepper and garlic powder. It's a visual thing and took all of ten minutes to make.
I also chopped up an onion and browned them with a little simple syrup and oil to add a little more flavor to the salsa. And make a decent garnish.
PS. How I make rice: 1 cup rice 1.5 cups water. Its rice its cheep easy and free. Dinner for people that can't afford it is served.
Post post script. I blog from my phone cuz I don't have the best computer or net access so I miss spell stuff alot ans why I don't have the best blog. So deal.
Vegan black bean burger
This is a simply recipe can be made in no time at all (yeah my watch battery died and I don't have the money to fix it so I don't have the exsact time it took to make this.)
First take a 15oz can of black beans rince. Then throw into your food processer (the one I own is a cheep Cuisineart I picked up from the salvo for $5 score *) smooth it out till it is into a smoth-ish paste.
Ad spices of your choice. I was privileged enough to pick up some basil from the food pantry (who wants to get rid of basil???) I also had some salt and pepper in the house with garlic powder and cyan pepper. If there is no garlic powder whole cloves will work be Mindful that dry ingredients are more intence then wet so use less!
After it is to taste add roughly 3/4** cups flouer. I used red mill flours cuz Gluten-Free is awesome. I mixed 1/8 cup of rice flour with 1/8 cup Quoina flour. And then added 1/4 almond flouer. I wanted to use corn flour but didn't have any so I used what I had.
Chill if possible (note that chilling is good to help the pre patties solidify as so they hold there form in the pan) my.fridge was being wonky so I let the pattie paste sit out on the counter for a little while till it conjellied. I measured out the rest of the flour and coated the Pattys.
Heat pan. I was privileged to use oliveoil, failing that any oil will work just try to avoid vegetable oil and conila oil. The point of useing oil is so the pattybdoes not stick to the pan.
Notes:
* summer is coming up look for appliances for sale at yard sales
** so you claim you don't have a mesuering cup? Or spoons? So you just want one less thing to wash. That's cool aswell. Guess what u do have a measuring cup! Where u ask? Remember the can from the beans? Yeah half way full of that can is equally to one cup. Break it down from There. U can do this the hardest part is just waiting in line at the food bank.
Pictured is rice with pine nuts, and a given slice of bread from a loave of bread from wide awake bakery. Just because I cook Gluten-Free dosent mean that I am. I am not going go and give up an entire loaf of bread try Enjoy dinner, or lunch when ever u eat this. :-)
