White Beans a la King

Adapted from Joann Stepaniak's The Nutritional Yeast Cookbook "Chick-Peas a la King" but subbed Great Northern beans for the Chick-Peas. Quite easy, quite delicious, very filling! Served over rice.

Coconut Curry Rice & Kale Salad

Lots of cooking lately, no blogging.
I've focused on Robin Robertson's Vegan On The Cheap. I've owned this cookbook for a while, but it got lost in the stack.
Last night, made her Coconut Curry Rice (page 134). I subbed roasted asparagus for the peas and added some baked tofu. Served it alongside Kale Salad.

Sausage & Mushroom Etouffee

From this recipe: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2012/02/vegan-sausage-and-mushroom-etoufee.html. Left out the green peppers. Used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, was fairly spicy, probably reduce this down to 1/8 next time (and yes, there will be a next time). Served over jasmine rice.

Vegan Pizza...


Another marvelous pizza with Paul - sauteed mushrooms, Tofurkey sausage, roma tomatoes, basil, lentils with Joann S's melty white sauce, dough from local Slice Pizzaria. Amazing!

Costa Rica and back....

My sister Wendy and Rudy were married. It was a great trip and a beautiful wedding. Lesson learned - I should have anticipated the challenges of vegan meal options :)

First Vegan Pizza of 2012

Tomatoes, Tofurkey sausage, tomato paste, basil leaves, and Paul's water sauteed mushrooms with J. Stepaniak's Melty White Cheez sauce. Wonderful!
Am looking forward to Mark Sutton's Heart Healthy Pizza book being published so I can use it to explore more recipes for sauces.
2012 - off to a great start - Happy New Year!
