Happy Groundhog Day, everyone! Phil didn't see his shadow, so spring is coming soon! In the meantime, I wanted to share some wintery things I've been making lately.
Dawn's Philly 'Shroom Steak with Caramelized Onions, Garlicky Spinach and Roasted Beets. Rosemary Sweet Potato Fries.
The Cayenne Kicker: organic cayenne, freshly grated ginger, fresh squeezed organic lemon juice, and organic apple juice. This drink effectively got rid of a cold I wasn't trying to catch!

Thai Curried Chickpeas and Broccoli (I served it with Coconut Lime Rice). I can't find my recipe notes for this anywhere...boo! It was SO good. I know I used freshly grated ginger and garlic, some spices, olive oil, etc. just not really sure how I did it. Oh well.
Quick Matzo Ball Soup.
There was also a great Pea Soup, very simple and delicious.
Oh, I made some rosemary fries to go with the soup! :-)
And an amazing Spinach Linguini with Artichoke Tomato Pesto :
You can see the my CSA pesto (I used a few cubes) swirled into our CSA jarred tomato sauce which I sauteed with lots of garlic and olive oil.
Then, I had a craving for my Lemon Garlic Eggplant and I actually found organic eggplants at Wegmans last week!
Also had me a craving for homemade vegan pepperoni, so I made me a batch o' that...almost to the exact day of last year's pepperoni making!
And what better thing to put Vepperoni and Eggplant on than Toaster Oven Pizzas??
Toaster Oven Pizza with CSA Marinara, Lemon Garlic Eggplant, Homemade Vegan Pepperoni and I think Follow Your Heart Mozz under there.
While I was making the pepperoni and the eggplant, we had to eat something!
(Yves Pepperoni, FYH Mozz, spices, and CSA Marinara).
And you gotta have dessert, right??
Blueberry "cupcakes" with Vanilla Glaze
I used a muffin recipe but don't tell my son!
Vanilla "cupcake" with Chocolate Ganache
We had an Almost Spring Sundae Party when it was near 70 degrees here on Wednesday:
SoDelicious Vanilla Ice Cream with Soyatoo Whipped topping and Organic Chocolate Sauce and Chocolate Sprinkles!
TJ's SoyCreamy Vanilla Ice Cream with Fresh Strawberries, Soyatoo Whipped Cream and Rainbow Sprinkles. OMG.
Tonight I made a nice batch of seitan steaks (Tami's recipe from AVK, it's amazing!) and my Crispy Chipotle Seitan Gorditas. They'd be great for a Superbowl party or a Wow it's Sure Quiet and this Store is Sure Empty, Everyone Must be Watching the Superbowl Party. I'm also craving something like tofu "wingz" so I might make those tomorrow and maybe some nachos, too...
Hope you guys are having a great weekend! It's snowing here right now.
What the heck, Phil?
XOXO
Yeah, it's snowing here too. I'm not sure whattup wit dat.
ReplyDeleteAs for the food, I don't even know what to say. I'd say you outdid yrself but you seem to pretty consistently stay at the level of WOW.
I am especially wowing over the shroom steak with roasted beets! What a genius idea. I am drooling. The drink also sounds incredible. I would drink that at any time; sick or not.
Awww, shucks, thanks, ff!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Trace! I need to put up that Philly Shroom Steak recipe at some point, it is really, really good, and I love just being able to jump onto my blog to get my own recipes (I forget them if I don't write them down!).

Hey Dawn, I wanted to tell you that I am making that glorious mushroom sandwich tomorrow night for dinner. My daughter is coming home for a few days so I am cooking up a storm!
