vegannomadchick: We had simple pasta for lunch today (no surprise, I know ) after snacking on some baguettes while walking around Belgrade. The kitchen here isn’t as big as the one in Zagreb and we don’t have an oven so it’s back to super simple meals for us. It will take me a few more days to get used to preparing meals here, but so far we’ve had plenty of healthy, tasty meals! For this sauce, I cooked some sliced mushrooms with water, added some passata, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes, and used bay leaf, black pepper, dried basil and oregano for the seasonings. Then I added some frozen veggies and some canned chickpeas. I let it simmer while the pasta boiled, and then added in fresh lemon juice at the very end. A small amount of lemon juice makes the sauce sooo tasty. It adds another layer of yumminess to it. It’s hard to describe so you should try it! This isn’t fancy at all and it was almost soup-like but it is the best that I can do at this point! I like the challenge of cooking in a less than ideal kitchen situation so we’ll see what we can come up with! No matter the situation, we can *always* find healthy vegan options in the store. Staples like oats, pasta, rice, potatoes, and bread are easy to find anywhere. Specialty items are another story, though. We haven’t been able to find cornflakes without any added sugar and diced tomatoes seem more expensive here, but these items aren’t necessary so we’ll just have to adjust. At least we found the fresh market down the street from us, so now we can find all the produce we need for cheap! Where there’s a will, there’s a way! We can make it work.
