Pasta salad from last night, but not the typical pasta salad.
Rotini pasta made from chick pea flour, diced fried pork loin chop, diced fried extra-firm tofu, diced hard-boiled egg, uncooked frozen organic green peas, chopped celery, chopped red onion, mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, a bit of hot pepper sauce. Maybe another item I'm not recalling at the moment.
Unconventional? Yes. We are often unconventional in some ways, ourselves.
Tasty? Pretty darned amazingly tasty.
I'd asked my wife not to try sliding me any more carb-toxic food after too many years of her knowing I require lower carb food. Sometimes breaking old habits is difficult. But there it is. A tasty substitute pasta salad.

@moose eater What brand chickpea pasta did you use? If its Banza, I've found the Rotini holds up well when cooking, but when I cooked the Penne, it fell apart. Barilla is good too...It has less of an authentic pasta texture, although its more pure with no other ingredients besides chickpeas.

It was Banza.
We've had varying results with other sources of similar products.
The carbs are still a bit high, but that's clipped a bit by adding all the other stuff.
Chick peas, in general, are one item that is given credit for the lower rates of heart disease and other disorders in Spain, Portugal, etc.
Though refined chick peas are way different than freshly perpared chick peas like we make hummus with. (or that we sometimes put in salads, too).

I don't know how I forgot that ingredient I couldn't recall in the pasta salad; it was the uncured maple sugar bacon, sliced into pieces, fried and added. Gave the pasta salad a very nice touch. How could I forget THAT bit?
It also included coarsely chopped organic button-top mushrooms, raw.
I'm forgetting key items. This isn't a good sign.

same here, though I prefer making actual shakes with the actual fruits. Shakes are a great way to make use of fruitswhich have sort of gone a little funny, too soft etc.they have strawberry milk here, to complete the color ensemble...
My fave however is the ones I make with mixed frozen berries (from the supermarket) and made with vanilla soy milk - delicious! you think that you´re drinking a desert
Hmm, very delicious breakfast!
From yesterday evening, chicken liver with noodles, bit mushrooms and tomatoes.

Ohh, this is great!
I understand you are living abroad and then I see this breakfast, for me a typical german breakfast.

OMG my favourite food of all time. But I haven’t made the chickpea cheese. Only cashew. Sounds great.
Also seen a great alternative to avo using peas and cashews or chick peas. I also use lentils instead of the soy mince
