I’m on cloud-9 here in excitement over how tasty my lunch was! It was delicious x 10 and healthy, healthy, healthy!
I had a gorgeous Neon Eggplant to use so that was the inspiration for lunch.
I chopped up 2/3 of the eggplant alongside some okra and a handful of kale.
Then I poured some evoo into a pan on medium heat. I cooked the eggplant and kale for a couple minutes, seasoned with salt and pepper, before adding a big pour of vegetable stock and allowing it to reduce. Then I added a few huge glugs of Worchestire sauce. After a few minutes I turned the heat up to medium high and added a bit more evoo and the okra and cooked another couple minutes.
That amazingness was bowled, drizzled with an einsy bit of agave syrup, and then I crumbled a small last serving of casserole over the top, and some paprika.
Holy Yum!
Some of my favorite flavors were in this lunch and they all came together perfectly! It was an amazing mix of flavors and textures.
As satisfied as I am, my craving for this seems to finally have gotten the best of me and I think I’m heading to Wegman’s soon so I can pick up some ingredients. We are driving to OH for an in-law visit this weekend and the husband’s family is most definitely NOT vegan so I need to pick up some supplies any way.
I have a big warm pot planned for dinner, a gym date I’ll hate myself if I don’t keep, and a bit of light homework on the agenda. See you later alligators!
What was the last simple meal that blew YOU away? If you can’t think of one please do yourself a favor and remake my lunch!

This lunch does look awesome, yum! I haven’t eaten (or cooked) nearly enough okra, and I still haven’t tried kale! I think your recipe has convinced me to just do it!
Have a great afternoon!
wow! your lunch looks soooo good! i think i will have to remake that!
a simple meal that i recently made that was delicious was in the crock pot! all i did was throw a bunch of random things into it like chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, mushrooms, chicken stock, spices… and whatever else i could find in my kitchen, and a few hours later i had the most amazing stew ever! i love my crock pot 🙂
I NEED a crockpot, there are so many fantastic things one can do with them!
Oh heck yes – that lunch looks incredible and the color of that eggplant made me smile – a real beauty.
The last thing I had that made me “mmm” and “ahhh” were sweet potato fries dipped in pb with a side of mashed cauliflower.
you are sort of the queen of feel good veggie meals. 🙂
