“Friday Favorites” is a popular blogging concept featured throughout the healthy living blogging community. This Friday (though I normally do not post on Fridays), I decided to do my own version of my Friday Favorites. This list of favorites includes several of my favorite recipes that I have bookmarked in the past (some many months ago!) and finally cooked, and a new favorite from one of my go-to cookbooks. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Friday Foodie Favorites: The “Bookmarked” Edition
Curry Egg Salad Sandwich
It is no secret that I have a major thing for anything curry! So when I came across this recipe for Curry Egg Salad, I knew I had to make it! Boy, am I glad that I did.
The original recipe states to serve it on a bed of Romaine lettuce, but I chose to eat mine in the more traditional sandwich form. It was super delicious. I really enjoyed the curry flavor, and I already have plans to make it again soon!
Spicy Eggplant and Okra Bake
I made my own version of Heather’s Spicy Eggplant and Okra Bake for a healthy and satisfying vegan dinner. I left out the hemp seeds and almond milk, and used part of a jar of leftover curry sauce that I had in my fridge instead of the spicy ketchup. Though it was an adaptation from the original recipe, the results were fantastic!
Mexican Barley Salad
I mentioned on Wednesday that I made a Mexican Barley Salad. To make this salad, I followed Anne’s recipe, but made some slight adaptations. First, I made a smaller batch since I was only cooking for myself. I also decided to use black-eyed peas in the place of the black beans. The vegetables that I used included red onions, corn, and red and orange peppers. This was one tasty and filling dish.
And finally…
Masala Burgers
On Tuesday night I made Masala Burgers from the Everyday Happy Herbivore cookbook. I absolutely love all three of the Happy Herbivore’s cookbooks, and cannot recommend them enough. Like every other dish that I have made from these cookbooks, these burgers were fantastic and wonderfully seasoned!
So there you have it! A few of my foodie favorites from the past couple of weeks! 🙂
Oh, and do not forget to enter the Larabar Giveaway! The giveaway ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. CST. Don’t miss out!

Love the recipe with okra! I am trying to grow it this year, and the only way I’ve ever had it was in a jambalaya or fried. This is another great and healthier option!
That is so awesome that you are trying to grow it!! I can’t wait to hear how that turns out!
Oh, that kale friend rice looks fantastic!
It was SO good!!

Is it just me, or is there something VERY satisfying about making a recipe you’ve bookmarked or pinned..HA! These all look great!
Oh my goodness, yes!! I love being able to “check off” something from my bookmarked list. Of course, I then add about 3 extra recipes in its place ;).
I bought a big bag of kale today, perhaps I will try your recipe!
Oh, you definitely should! Kristin’s recipe is fantastic!
Such healthy meals! Hey, how’s the 3-days a week Vegan diet going? Have a great weekend!
It is going REALLY well! In fact, I am thinking about upping it to 4 days per week.
yayyy! another kale fried rice fan 🙂
How could you not be?!? 😉
I think the curried egg salad one looks like the one I’m going to have to try first. Noms. I love a good egg salad, which I haven’t had in a very long time. So sad.
It is SO good!!! You must try it!
I love the list of recipes, such a great selection. I love the sound of the Mexican barley one. I love the variety of different ingredients in it. I’m all about variety 🙂
Oh, me too! I get bored easily! 😉
I love okra but none of the people I cook with will eat it so I normally leave it out. The burgers sound really good!
Bummer! You better make this for yourself then! 😉
Everything looks delicious! I especially would like to try the curry egg salad and agree sandwich style is the way to go.
That egg salad was SO good! You should definitely try it out!
The kale fried rice sounds so good! Sauteed kale is so delicious and I love easy skillet meals like that.
This dish was definitely SO easy and delicious! 🙂
That barley salad looks delicious! I’ve only just discovered barley since myself actually cooking some of the great recipes I’ve found on blogs, it is so nice when you discover how good new ingredients/recipes are 🙂
I SO agree!! I feel this way about so many ingredients/foods now! Thank goodness for other food bloggers :).
🙂 Agreed!
Between the kale fried rice and the masala burgers I am swooning over here!
They sure were tasty!! 🙂
I love it when bloggers share other bloggers’ recipes that they’ve made! That kale fried rice looks super good. Definitely going to bookmark that one!
The kale fried rice was SO good! It is a must try!
I will be making that mexican barley…looks and sounds delicious!
I think that you will really like it!!
