We love the Mule.

If you visit OKC, go to the Mule. You won't be disappointed.

Comfort.

This is my comfort food.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese

Vegan Grilled Cheese

Their culinary expertise and diversity make The Mule a great option for a crowd with a mix of diets!

So, we live an hour and a half from this wonderful mouth heaven...therefore my mission is to bring all our favorite OKC foods to our kitchen....provided they are healthy- ish :)

Hence dinner tonight!

Guacamole-

 just an avocado squished and beaten with a fork and minced garlic, salt, pepper

Roasted beets-

 covered, whole, with aluminum foil on a baking sheet for 65 minutes at 400', rubbed with a little olive oil and salt, peeled afterwards and sliced

It was a little messy peeling afterwards

Kind of looked like a bloody war scene

Chipotle aioli.... 

So this I will work on but it had coconut milk, sriracha, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, nutrtitional yeast powder, maple syrup...and it was very runny so I added veganaise to thicken. I will probably use a different recipe next time. But this recipe was delicious with all the other flavors.

Cashew cheese-

Food blender, 1 cup raw cashews that have been soaked 2 hours, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons), salt, one clove garlic.

Transferred to a nut milk bag in a container and left in the fridge at least 6-8 hours.

Mushrooms and onions-

Sautéed in olive oil, soy sauce, and belizean hot sauce (actually from Belize- not necessary and any other hot sauce could be substituted)

Whole wheat sourdough-

Buttered each side with earth balance vegan butter, grilled both sides and stacked with above deliciousness.

The mule actually has sun dried tomatoes and grilled jalapeños on theirs but I forgot to get those ingredients and sometimes there is no leaving home anymore today times (that was tonight).

First try. I only hoped for an okay from my husband. He stated best dinner yet. What?!

It was amazing and nutritious.

Make this romantic grilled cheese for your valentine❤️

Or something else thoughtful :)

Enjoy

Next blogs will be on chia seeds and cardio versus strength training.
