Another #plantbased recipe curation logged into the history books, and love is in the air this week as @Sreypov and I are getting married tomorrow!!!

Love Is In The Air 👨‍🍳💕👩‍🍳

     I should start off by saying I am very distracted this evening as I make this curation post. Tomorrow is the day when I finally get to marry the love of my life, and fellow #plantbased chef @Sreypov. That being said, you #NaturalMedicine folk have been a big source of positivity in our lives.

     @Sreypov's self-confidence and English have improved so much through her recipe and insect photography posts on Hive. You've all been a part of it, so pat yourselves on the back!!

🍛 The Food News 📰

     This week I found some awesome culinary delights just as I always do, and as usual some familiar faces and a new one too. The recent manly man challenge has created a wave of new posts from users which don't normally do food posts, so I think that alone makes it an awesome success.

     This might the first curation I've made without any sweets, but it wasn't intentional. I think I pulled together a good mix of awesome dishes from around the world, and I hope you all enjoy. Every week I set a 5% beneficiary of this curation post, and this week I choose @famegirl because I think her post has a lot of love but not a high enough potential payout

🏋️ Don't Forget 💪

     The manliest ever #plantbased challenge is out, and it's not limited to just recipes. The rewards are big, and there are many ways you can make a submission for this super manly challenge, you don't even need to be a man!! There are still a few days left, so don't miss your chance to earn some BRO, HIVE, and LOTUS.

     Big thanks to @brofund, @raymondspeaks, and @brofund-lotus for the support!!

How to Be Curated by PLANT BASED

Use the tags #naturalmedicine #vegan or #plantbased
We don't mind what community you post in - although we prefer you post in the Ecotrain or Natural Medicine communities!
Ensure your recipes are plant based - although we don't preach any diets, this curation would like to focus on plants rather than dairy or meat additions to recipes.
Use clear, well focused photographs - and ORIGINAL content!

🥑 SWEET POTATO HASH WITH AVOCADO AND SPINACH 🥑

     Grab your mustache wax hipsters, this is even hipper than avocado toast, maybe too hip for even the hippest hipster. Hashbrowns are something I grew up eating as a kid in southern Indiana, although my Mom cooked them in pbacon grease, something quite normal in those days.

     This combo seems a perfect match, and I imagine would be a very nice breakfast to start the day with. I used to eat avocados every day in Ecuador, and in Suriname they are simply too expensive, so I'll have to do my best not to eat the screen while looking at this creation.

Roasted Cauliflower Bowl with Hempe & Job's Tears {Vegan, Soy-Free}

     We all know @plantstoplanks, and if she's not doing some kind of physical training, she's probably cooking up some delicious #plantbased creations. Recently @artemislives shared a few Job's tears recipes, and now get to add another recipe to the list, and this dish looks absolutely delicious.

      This dish has the right (for me) amount of protein, carbs, and veggies, and just look at all those colors. "Eat the rainbow" is a good philosophy to live by, and this roasted cauliflower bowl has such a nice variety of iingredients. Dare I say this dish is fit for the manliest of menly men?

Our Journey To PlantBased Eating

     This is not just a an awesome recipe post for the burger you see in the photo, but also a story of how her and her partner's journey to a fully #plantbased diet. I was also a cook at restaurants for many years while I was fully vegan, and couldn't even taste the food I made, really taking the joy out of cooking, but it also gave me the courage to strike out on my own.

     I shouldn't forget the awesome burger in this post too, after all, this is the recipe curation post after all. Veggie burgers are one of our daughters's favorite foods, and this is one my whole family would enjoy, especially if we had some piccalilli sauce to enjoy with it.

Let's Get Acquainted With A Delicious Persian Salad

     I love Arab/Persian/Mediterranean style salads, and it seems tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions are always must-have ingredients no matter where it is being prepared. Another thing I've noticed in the various countries that eat a similar salad, is that the smaller the dice of the ingredients the more delicious the salad.

     These salads are a nice addition to falafel, hummus, and baba ganoush. It's so good though, I could just as well eat with a spoon, no bread or anything. This is new-to-me chef, so I look forward to seeing more #plantbased creations from @famegirl.

Indonesian Traditional Breakfast with Herbal Tea

     I mentioned eating the rainbow earlier, but what about drinking it too? I love this colorful combo that this Indonesian chef put together. The butterfly pea flower tea is such a beautiful blue, and it looks so cool next to the yellow banana, a visual treat.

     I have never seen boiled ripe bananas before, and I didn't even know it was possible, but she mentions that there is a special variety of banana that holds up to be boiled when ripe, and I think I recognize this banana species from Cambodia as well, although I don't think Cambodians eat boiled bananas, green or ripe. What an awesome and colorful breakfast!
