In a bowl combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk thoroughly. Add the bread and let it sit till all of the contents of the mixture are soaked up into your bread. Meanwhile prep your oven to 400F and grab a skillet and start heating up some oil. Once the bread has absorbed all your ingredients then place each slice on the pan and fry both sides until slightly brown. Finally put all your pieces in a pan and place it in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they are golden.  <br/><br/>and you done! enjoy your authentic styled french toast! the drier the bread the better the result.</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8870976769http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8870976769Sat, 13 Aug 2011 13:36:00 -0400foodrecipefench toastyumbreakfasteggsauthenticfrench<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpobcqpHMN1qhipolo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Quinoa Garlic Miso Salad <br/><br/>1/2 cup Quinoa cooked <br/>handful of fresh green beens steamed <br/>2 medium sized carrots sliced in half moons <br/>2 medium ripe vine tomatoes chopped <br/>3-4 pieces of sun-dried tomatoes chopped <br/>1/2 a green pepper chopped <br/><br/>Dressing <br/>2 garlic cloves minced or chopped very finely <br/>2tbs of lime juice or to taste <br/>1tbs White Miso ( I used kaiseki ama miso) <br/>1tsp salt or to taste <br/>2-3 tbs olive oil <br/><br/>Combine the veggies with the cooked quinoa, its ok if its hot, even better. In a separate bowl combine all the dressing ingredients except for the miso. after there well combined and suite your taste add the miso. Add as much miso to the consistency of pudding adding more oil or lime juice as necessary. Depending on the miso you use it will have a different taste. I used kaiseki ama miso, which is rather sweet compared to other white misos.  Combine sauce and ingredients and let sit overnight in the fridge, or at least for a couple of hours so all the flavors really merge together.</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8697020835http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8697020835Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:29:00 -0400vegetarianvegansaladquinoamisorecipetastyfood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpkyann06K1qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>angel hair roast garlic marinara with al dente vegies</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8618296156http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/8618296156Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:54:23 -0400angle hairpastafoodmarinaravegiesvetablesvegetarianveganitaian<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnpppmlfUE1qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lunch Post! here is lunch I made a couple of days ago, Im trying a new thing with making several different sides and then the main dish!</p> <p>From right to left, top to bottom</p> <p>Dish 1 : Fresh cucumber and tomato I picked up form the Farmers market <br/>Dish 2 : Match stick potatoes and baby bella mushrooms <br/>Dish 3: Raw zucchini and carrot salad with tofu cilantro lemon dressing<br/>Dish 4 : Vegan Corn Chowder<br/><br/><strong>Vegan Corn Chowder</strong><br/>1/2 medium sized onion chopped (I used red and yellow since I had some left over)<br/>2 good sized carrots sliced <br/>4 small potatoes chopped ( I used young potatoes, again I had sitting around)<br/>About 1 cup vegetable bullion, enough to cover<br/>1 package frozen sweet corn or 3 fresh corns worth of corn<br/>Salt to taste<br/>1 1/2 tsp rosemary <br/>Olive Oil</p> <p>Take up a large pot and set it to medium high flame. Throw in some olive oil, carrots, potatoes, rosemary, and onions. Sauté them until they become aromatic and tender.  Add about 1 cup of bullion or enough for it to cover your contents. If your using bullion cubes add water first then add cubes ( about 3-4 cubes) make sure to taste it so you don’t over use the cubes! let that simmer for about 20 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Take out your corn and pour the contents of the small sized bag in ( or as much as you want really). Let that simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until tender. Finally take out our blending stick and start blending until you get a puree like consistency and your done! If you want something smoother wait until the soup has cooled down and throw it all in a blender and bled! Its important to wait for it to cool or it’ll explode in the blend ( known from experience).</p> <p><br/>this makes about 4-5 servings so itll last you the week</p> <p>Enjoy!</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/7158116049http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/7158116049Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:29:00 -0400vegancornchowderfoodluchyumsmall dishesrecipe<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnpoug1me31qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>sorry I haven’t been here in a while! but I still cook everyday, its just getting to take pictures thats the hard part.</p> <p>Alright here you go boys and girls!

Then mix it into the wet ingredients, and turn on the oven to 395 F or 180 C. Grease a baking pan, you can use a cake pan like me or a loaf pan, and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. <br/><br/>This Trittata comes out a really light green color and tastes just like spring! I suggest serving it with a cucumber yogurt sauce or even a tangy vinaigrette, to really bring out the flavors!

Ever since I moved to new york ive had this incredible sweet tooth, but for a change I made crispy potato scallion pancakes! They came out nice and crispy and went perfectly with the greek yogurt ( ive really been a sucker for greek yogurt lately) on top instead of sour cream, they really have almost the same taste!</p> <p>I grabbed the recipe off of <a href="http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2011/03/crispy-scallion-potato-pancakes.html">The Comfort of Cooking</a> blog, and added a few carrots to the mix! great breakfast indeed!</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3964322114http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3964322114Sat, 19 Mar 2011 14:17:00 -0400cookingbreakfastfoodpancakespatatoscallionrecipe<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_li8032OzyH1qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Ive lately been craving banana cake and dark chocolate so I couldn’t resist with the weather being so nice today in new york ( a high of 16 C) I walked myself into the crazy packed whole foods at union square and bought my missing ingredients, which surprisingly enough were rather cheap! <br/><br/>Here is the recipe I came up with after modifying a banana cake recipe, play around with the amount of chocolate if you like it a bit darker. The cake came out surprisingly moist without any oil or butter added! but if you like your cake extremely moist you might want to add one or two tbs of butter or coconut oil if you have any. <br/><br/>I topped it off with a really nice light greek yogurt mixed with some honey or you could even try agave, and some nice kiwis, which seem to be in season around my house) on top sprinkled with a bit of the cocoa for the finishing touches. <br/><br/><strong>Dark Chocolate Almond Banana Cake</strong><br/><br/>5 medium bananas<br/>2 eggs<br/>1/2 tsp almond extract <br/>2tbs unsweetened dark cocoa powder ( I used Valrhona) <br/>5-8 70% or more bittersweet chocolate medallions ( I used Valrhona)<br/>11/2 cups all purpose flour <br/>2 tsp baking powder<br/>1/2 teaspoon of salt<br/>1/2+1/8 cup cane sugar<br/><br/>Topping<br/>1 Kiwi<br/>1tbs greek yogurt<br/>1 tsp honey <br/>dash of cocoa powder <br/><br/>first mash and cream the bananas, when fluffy add eggs and keep beating, finally add the almond extract.<br/><br/>In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and mix together well. When mixed add wet ingredients mixture and mix until combined. At this stage to add a little bit more punch I added some melted dark chocolate, and lightly folded it in( dont mix in too well)<br/><br/>grease a 12” pan, set your oven to 350F, and bake for about 40 minutes. </p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3926686910http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3926686910Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:09:00 -0400fooddessertcakechocolatebananarecipetastykiwi<p>yes all the food here is made and photographed by me :) your bentos look tasty as well. </p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3897992978http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3897992978Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:10:24 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_li4i84JXm11qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bento for 3/16</p> <p>some Vietnamese spring rolls, peanut sauce, chickpea salad, and rice with sesame seeds</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3886897705http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3886897705Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:50:00 -0400salad,Foodbentojapanesevietnamesespring rollschickpealunch<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_li4i5g1Qen1qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Chickpea Summer Salad</strong><br/>1/2 cup chickpeas cooked<br/>1 yellow and green pepper chopped<br/>1/2 cup beansprouts<br/>4 medium carrots chopped in small pieces<br/>1 cucumber chopped<br/><br/><strong>marinade:</strong><br/>2 juiced lemons<br/>1 bunch of cilantro chopped fine<br/>3 cloves garlic crushed <br/>5 tbsp olive oil<br/>1-2 tsp salt to taste <br/> red onion sliced in thin slices<br/><br/>make sure you let it marinade overnight to really get all the juices infused, marinade is really to personal preference, so feel free to play around.</p>http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3886861062http://tummycorp.tumblr.com/post/3886861062Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:48:00 -0400chickpeasfoodlightlunchsaladvegetarianyumrecipe<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhyliqdPpE1qhipolo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>So here is the result of my first try at Dango, I used mochiko flour, which was ok, but it seemed too grainy.
