Soy Not "Oi!"

I HAD to make some peanutbutterchocolatechipcookies from Soy Not "Oi!" yesterday!

 Mixin' 'em up!

For those of you not familiar with this awesome, classic vegan cookbook designed to destroy the government, I highly recommend you check it out.  It's a great bargain for only $7! It's hilarious, has funny drawings, good tunes to listen to, and, of course, great vegan recipes by The Hippycore Krew!

Joel Olson has passed away :-(

The 25th anniversary edition of Soy Not Oi, Soy Not Oi 2 is forthcoming in his honor.  Get ready for more great vegan recipes, advice, stories and tunes (of course!).  There's even still time to contribute to the new edition if you are so inclined, check out Soy Not Oi's Facebook page or the link above!

Joel loved these cookies, and for good reason!

They do not disappoint! 

J@ck's Peanutbutterchocolatechip cookies, YUM. 

And I'm super excited to announce that my Pepita Beet Spread recipe will be included in Soy Not Oi 2!  The Krew loved it and I'm honored to have it in the book.

I hope it starts a Beet Revolution!  Never fear, beet-o-phobes!

 Pepita Beet Spread, OH YEAH.

If you are afeared of beets, all you have to do is...

Root down, ya'll!

'Cause, you know, a beet is a root :-)

What's your favorite song/recipe combo?

Pepita Beet Spread and Sweet Corn Ice Cream (!)

So, from our box this week came the following:

Gorgeous Pepita Beet Spread (recipe below!) as a boost to this gorg salad (tomatoes are local but not CSA, yet!).

 Grillin' up the CSA bounty.

 Swiss Chard (as usual! 6th week in a row!), Beets & Greens (3) but 5th week in a row!), fresh onions (5), fresh corn (yes! 6 ears), fresh garlic (one clove, yes!), zucchini (4) and cucumbers (2), scallions (yes!) and 4 tomatoes are from my garden.

 Israeli Couscous with CSA Zucchini, Onions, and Organic Homemade Chickpeas.

 Yeah, I'm at it AGAIN with the ice cream maker!  FRESH CORN ICE CREAM!!

 Library Style.  

 

Sweet Corn Ice Cream (from Hannah's Book Vegan A La Mode) made with local, Organic CSA Corn. This ice cream is totally amazing (and our corn was amazing, so use local, organic corn if you make it). It is probably the most unusual and surprising ice cream I have had in years, and it is delicious. Texture and taste is right on the money.

Garnished with Half-Sharp Paprika (which is quite hot and spicy if you ask me). Delish!!

Onto the Pepita Beet Spread!

Pepita Beet Spread...

The perfected recipe is now forthcoming in Soy Not Oi 2!

I'm so thrilled to be a part of SNO II!  

If you don't already have it, the original Soy Not Oi is the classic, vegan anarchist cookbook.  Check out the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I made from it!  They are SO good.

As soon as Soy Not Oi 2 has a link for purchase, I'll put it up.  I can't wait to see what else is in there!

XOXO
