Breakfast Wraps

The perfect weekend food - breakfast wraps.  Full of veg, egg scramble and hashed browned 'taters, these wraps start your day off right!

First, start the tater tots, or any hashed potatoes, baking.  Make sure they're crispy to give a satisfying crunch.  Then sauteing mixed vegetables: zucchini, onions, tomatoes, peppers and carrots.  Once they're tender, set aside and keep warm.  In the same pan, add beaten eggs and a hearty spice blend: sriracha, onion powder, smoky paprika, turmeric and salt.  Some fresh spinach completes the dish, but any lettuce will do.

Wrap it up and enjoy!

Gluten Free Stir-Fry

Often the stri-fry premix seasonings contain gluten or wheat ingredients.  Mixing the spices individually and using tamari (gluten free soy sauce), gluten can be eliminated from this delicious dish.  Deep frying tofu and marinating it overnight allows it to have a pleasant texture and full taste (which is a rare trait for tofu).

Classic flavours compose the seasoning: sesame, soy, onion, garlic, turmeric, chili and ginger.  Mixing Jasmine and black Forbidden rice yield a uniquely hued rice side-dish.

Mind-blowing Vegan Burger

One year anniversary of jLAmode!

Too good to be vegan!  A local restaurant inspired me to make this flavourful stack.  The patty is also gluten free.

First, set out the spices:  garlic powder, dried chives, turmeric, salt, onion powder and smoked paprika.

Then mix with a puree of beans (nearly any kind will do).  To help hold things together add tofu, oats and white rice flour.

Form the patty and give it a good fry:

Add some char for a deep flavour.

I baked fresh burger buns just for this:

Completed with lettuce, tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, avocado and grilled onions.  Served with a salad made of: fresh-from-the-garden mixed greens, toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds.
