Things I've Made Lately

Other than working my way through Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar and Veganomicon (which will take me a number of years) I've made a couple of things from some newly-acquired cookbooks.

The Urban Vegan

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup - Kid-friendly and full of Vitamin A. Very easy beyond chopping root vegetables.

Spaghetti Alle Melanzane - This is my kind of comfort food. Savoury tangy eggplant tossed with pasta. Delicious after a long run.

Triple Sesame Salad Dressing - A creamy-salty-tangy dressing without any associated garlic breath. This was so yummy atop an avocado-sprout green salad.

Quiche Du Jour (Spinach & Sun-dried Tomato Combo) - Excellent crust. Tasty but my quiche didn't set.

Better Than Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberries - Hearty healthy pancakes that didn't give me a sugar high. Used spelt flour.

Brownie Bites - Tasted awesome but were too delicate to get out of the muffin tin (both silicone and sprayed teflon). So I served brownie crumble topped with vanilla soy ice cream. Nobody complained.

Citrus-Scented Blueberry Muffins - I love muffins. These were light and fluffy.

Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen

Hot and Zesty Black Bean Soup - So easy and so good! Packed with protein, which I had been craving.

I have a very long list of other recipes from these two books that I'd like to try. Most of the recipes are fairly straight-forward, which I appreciate after a long day of working and running.

Hi Tracy and Sarah! I love your ladies blog, its amazing. I'm just starting a blog and i was just wondering, how you created the list on the right hand side of your blog? Thanks :)

Tracy said...

Hi robynrheaa! The list on the left is a Blogger Gadget. If you use Blogger, you can configure it on the Layout page, accessible from the Dashboard.

Thank you, but can I ask you what gadget? I have been trying a lot of different gadgets and I can't seem to figure it out! Thank you for helping me!

It's called the "Link List" gadget. Good luck with your blog!

sweet site. vegan with salad is my favorite.
I love all kind of Salad. It make my skin brighter and healthy. Especially, I can eat salad with many favorite foods. Like cucumber, youghurt, snack, and pasta or noodles. But I’m avoiding eating too much carbohydrate. Now, I don’t need to do that. Because I found this new product called Happy Pho by this company called Star Anise Foods – it’s a tasty Vietnamese brown rice noodles soup that I’m literally addicted to. They also have a noodles only box that I’ve been using instead of pasta. You can get them at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_grocery?ie=UTF8&search-alias=grocery&field-brandtextbin=Star%20Anise%20Foods or grocery stores in Northern California. Yum! http://staranisefoods.com/our-products.aspx
