Tahini Coleslaw for Lunch!

So I was in the mood for coleslaw and tahini.  So I decided to use tahini as my dressing for coleslaw.  One of the best choices I ever made for lunch!  All I did was take all the fixings you use for coleslaw such as cabbage, carrots and any other veggies I like to eat and made coleslaw using tahini dressing instead of mayonnaise or salad dressing.  A great light lunch that will give you energy for the rest of the day!  Go ahead and try it the next time you make coleslaw!

Ingredients
½  cup of Olives
½ cup of Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste)
2 tablespoons of Virgin Olive Oil
¼ cup of Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon of Cumin
½ medium head of Cabbage, finely shredded or chopped (4 cups)
1 small Carrot, shredded (1/2 cup)
1 small Onion, Chopped (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon Paparika
3 cloves of Garlic, crushed

Chickpea Pasta for Lunch!



 Well I just finished having lunch.  I didn't know what to eat so I went out to my garden to see what survived the frost over the weekend.  What I found was my rainbow kale, parsley, broccoli and Swiss Chard.  I left the Swiss Chard in the garden and picked rainbow kale, parsley and broccoli  along with some garlic and onions to make a stir-fry.  I took the veggies inside to wash and chop up and I set them aside.

Now I needed some pasta to add to my sir-fry.    So I took a look in the pantry and brought out chickpea flour and xanthan gum.  Then went to the frig to take out two eggs and mixed them all together in  a mixing bowl to  make pasta dough.  I laid out sheets of plastic wrap on the counter with a little flour and rolled out my dough.  Once the dough was as thin as I wanted it, I took a pizza cutter to make my noodles.

Then I grabbed my wok and heated it up with some coconut oil and chicken fat and did my stir-fry adding miso for taste.  Later I topped it off with Tofu Misozuke (Miso Marinated Tofu).  I sat down with a glass of green tea and sat down to enjoy a quick lunch.
