I thought it might be fun to see what we are all cooking from our cookbooks! Today I made...

Buttermilk pancakes from 500 Vegan Recipes. These were loved by all! They will probably be my new go-to pancake recipe.

Breakfast sausage from Vegan Comfort Food. These were great and it makes a ton. The kiddo didn't like the fennel though. I had to sub chickpea flour for the soy flour the recipe called for because that's all I had. Not sure if it made a difference.

Refried beans from Viva Vegan. My son, the pickiest eater in the world, loved this. Probably because I left out the jalapenos. My partner also liked it but I though it was a bit bland. Again, probably because I left out the jalapenos!

Queso from Kittee's blog. So good!

Today, I just made miso and potato stew for meals later in the week (ran errands this morning so had breakfast on the run and picked up lunch and have leftovers of take out for dinner) and I'm about to pressure cook some chickpeas to make hummus later (for toast and bagels this week) and I'm about to shred a head of parsley as I sit in front of the TV to prep for my Tabbouleh with mint and pistachios, which I'm making tomorrow. Forgot the cucumber for it while at the grocery store today. I might leave it out (I don't much like cuke anyway) or if I wind up going downtown tomorrow, I'll pick one up.

Yummy and wow! You were busy today. I looooove cooking days. This evening is sort of one for me and I'll have another little spree tomorrow! <3

VCIYCJ's choco chip cookies. That's all.

Polenta Rancheros from VB. Yummy!

Lower-fat banana bread from vcon. but it's early still, there may be more coming.

Carrot spice muffins from '365 Quinoa'

Straight in ze bin.

Aww, shucks. I hate when that happens.

For tonight... seitan portobello stroganoff from VWAV... with the seitan recipe from Vcon.

Never made it before. We'll see how it goes.

yyuuuummm. it's so good! crazy good.

I made VWAV pumpkin waffles for breakfast!

About to make the spiced nuts from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan. I made them so many times last year at about this time that I thought I would never want to see them again. But I guess I was wrong. They are really good and a prefect snack to pack for my kiddo. Hopefully I will use moderation this time!

Oh, I love making spiced nuts. I often make the ones from Garden of Vegan with cashews. Addictive!

Today, I've made hummus (just a classic recipe, nothing fancy) and I just made the mint and pistachio tabbouleh. I didn't make the pumpkin ziti bake today because my freezer has no room. I'll have to make that later in the week. Now, I'm gonna sweep and mop my floors and then chill out and read and watch TV for the evening and eat my humuus and tabbouleh for dinner in a while.

It was pretty f'in good. I think next time less seitan, more mushrooms.

Golden Vanilla Cupcakes from VCTOTW

Because I was so pissed off by the last batch of muffins sucking asparagus, I cooked Orange Chocolate Muffins. Big puffy jumbo muffins. Gorgeous!

I was going to make the Gingerbread Waffles out of Vegan Brunch, buuuuut I got kinda derailed and ended up making pumpkin spice waffles that were very, very loosely related to that recipe, ha ha.

Spinach Lasagne from Yellow Rose Recipes. I modified it a bit & it was SO good!

Sad :(. I was wondering about that cookbook.

Made the orange pudding cupcakes from VCTOTW for my son's bday. Dinner was tomato sauce with bay leaves from Mark Bittman and Lemon Rosemary Tofu from Nonna's Kitchen.

last night, I made the marinara from Veganomicon.

Chickpea cutlets from Vcon. Replaced the sage with poultry seasoning, because I hate sage, Very yummy.

Broccoli Quiche from VB
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from VCTOTW
Marinated Asian Tofu using the marinade on some leftover brown rice for our lunch.

I think I am all cooked out but no dinner is made yet so we shall see, we shall see.

Yesterday I made the macaroon muffins from http://seitanismymotor.com, this morning I made the creamy broccoli & cauliflower soup from Quick & Easy Vegan Celebrations and the other day I made the macaroni & cheese from the same book. I was realy impressed with all 3 recipes.

Me too! They really do taste like macaroons. Yum!
