Earl Grey Cream Tea
It’s flowery with a creamy sort of undertone. I still like to add 2 packets of sugar and extra creaminess.
Pita bread
Recipe here.
Pureed zucchini & chickpea hummus
- Cooked chickpeas — very important, because the zucchini on its own is too watery
- Zucchini (raw & chopped)
- Diced raw garlic
- Salt to taste
- Sesame Oil to taste (add for taste & slight creaminess, but not more than 5 tablespoons)
- Lemon juice to taste
That’s it. Puree it, and eat it. I find it delicious, delicate and tasty, warm or cold, I love it on top of pita bread.
Why I don’t like a lot of oil or fats
I don’t put in a lot of olive oil or sesame oil, nor do I put in tahini (which is crushed, roasted sesame seed paste).
The reason being is that I’ve noticed a distinct correlation between high amounts of oil/fat/butter and my face breaking out like crazy into deep acne cysts.
It’s just my own body reacting to how much oil I eat in my foods, and does not mean that oil will make you break out — but it makes me break out, so I’m avoiding high amounts of it, which includes putting it into hummus.
Eggs also make me itchy, I think…
I also noticed (after my little oak leaf mite experience in Europe), that eggs make me itchier.
I don’t know why that is, but eating egg pasta and eating eggs made my whole body itchy and crazy unbearable, even though the itching had stopped long before, and the mites have been left across the pond.
Then I stopped eating egg pasta and eggs, and either it’s all in my head and it was just a placebo, but my skin stopped itching, and I am going to lay off the eggs until I heal up.

Yum, all of that looks delicious! I want to try each dish. Earl Grey with soy milk is DELICIOUS!

That breakfast makes my mouth water. I think I\’ll make hummus again this week with bread
That is so awesome, good for you and your newly blended adventures 😉
It sounds like you may be allergic to eggs, my husband is and that is one of the reactions he gets after eating them.
I have no idea how I developed this allergy, because I\’ve been eating eggs all my life, but I\’ve only JUST noticed that either eggs or asparagus seem to make my bug bites flare up and be itchier.
It\’s very weird…
That puree, yeah…that looks disgusting. I hope it tastes better than it looks. 🙂
Why does it look disgusting to you? It looked pretty good to me. Very healthy, because it has zucchini in it for that colour.
Have you tried it with a mason jar? I was thinking that a mason jar would be a good way to make smoothies on the go since we have some we’ve collected because the lids all match. We have a couple that are the wide mouth mason jars, but most of them are the narrower kind.
I use to use mason jars to take my smoothies to work … provided you aren't taking a cramped streetcar, you should be ok (assuming you aren't consuming it immediately). If you're commuting on public transit during rush hour, I don't recommend it – I had a few mason jars break on me after being jostled or kicked by other riders. And you really don't want to be cleaning that out of your lunch bag/purse!
That would work. I just don\’t have any of my own items here with me. Am using limited hotel supplies
Mmm! Looks good!
I'm still debating about getting an immersion blender at some point. We have the Vitamix now and a small, one-serving type blender, but I like the idea of the immersion blender, too, and it might be good for travel. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my husband has been complaining that he REALLY misses his kale smoothies while on business trips. If you end up smoothie-izing kale, please let me know how smooth it gets!
I love it!
If anyone does buy one, BE CAREFUL WITH LIQUIDS!!! You need to use that kind of tall, narrow sort of tub to do any kind of liquid immersion in it, because it\’s such a monster, not a bowl or a pot with very rounded, curvy sides, unless there\’s a lot of liquid in there, and it won\’t splash around if you immerse the blender.
I just sprayed soy sauce all over my face finding that out this morning.
If your kitchenaid attachments are anything like my braun and its attachments (blender, whisker, puree-er type thing, which it looks like you have), the jug puree-er type thing (mini food processor?) is EXCELLENT at making thick, delicious frozen fruit smoothies!
OOO!
Fruit smoothies. I\’ll try that next. That sounds so yummy.
