Welcome!
My son’s version of a Banana Split:
Sliced banana under vanilla soy cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Yum!
Ode to the Cornbread:
I crave the cornbread, I make the cornbread, I eat the cornbread.
Yum.
Vegan it is, no added fat it has, raw sugar sprinkled on half
Because sometimes sweet bread is nice.
Yum.
The end.
Oatmeal Cookie Granola Bars
I used a couple of different recipes for oatmeal cookies, veganized them, and made a couple of substitutions and augmentations - kind of made it up as I went along. And, it worked! They are really good!
What in ‘em:
Whole Wheat Flour, Whole Rye Flour, Oats, Shredded Wheat Cereal, Raisins, Chocolate Chips, Sunflower Seeds, A Flax Egg, Raw Sugar, Cinnamon, Almond Butter, and Peanut Butter. Oh, and little baking soda.
Yep - snacks for my son.
Cooking This Weekend:
- Roasted Butternut Squash, candy cane beets, and little red Potatoes (pictured)
- HH’s Beer Bread (had it for lunch w/ a salad w/EHH’s Caesar Dressing (pictured)
- Black Beans
- Tacos
- Grilled onions and Zucchini
- HH’s Chicken Taco “meat”
- Mushroom Gravy and Quinoa
- Steamed Chard and Beet Greens
I had never made the beer bread before - it is *really* good.
Dinner Bowl:
It’s a mess, but it’s a delicious mess: Brown rice, farro, kale, chick peas, bell pepper & parsly from my garden, cucumber, and green onion topped w/roasted pepitas, EHH’s Cesar dressing, and siracha. MMMMMmmmm!
Be a potato head - they're good for you!
Potatoes are really good for you! Here are some great potato ideas.
I made Hippie Squares (click the pic for the recipe). When it came out of the oven, the BF and my son were playing hacky sac. Epic.
New Spice is nice
I used my new curry spice (given to me as an xmas gift) to roast butternut squash. This is the best butternut squash I have ever tasted! The slightly spicy curry goes so well with the mild mellow sweetness of the squash. So good!
