THE BEST OF THE WEEK (# 114): Breakfast of Oatmeal with Carrots and Boiled Broccoli, Andean arepas, Tomato mushroom ragu with "no meat" balls

Today, we present a new edition of THE BEST OF THE WEEK. Our intention with this post is to recognize the best of the best of the posts that you, friends of Hivers, share weekly in our Plant Power (Vegan) community, selecting the top three recipes from the previous week; which on this occasion corresponds to the period from Wednesday, December 24, to Tuesday, December 30, 2025.

Each of the selected publications will be reviewed in this curatorship, and in turn, its author will be awarded 50 $foodie token, in order to give him/her a modest recognition for the excellence and quality of his/her work.

This week, with the rainy weather, @nurfay decided to make a quick and delicious breakfast. She cooked oatmeal, which she mixed with vegetables, creating a delicious, nutritious, and colorful dish. She shared it in a beautiful post, making it part of The Best of the Week!
