Tomato Basil Cream Pasta with Green Salad
Nov 25th
We tried a recipe from this awesome website that we found, Vegan Yum Yum, for Tomato Basil Cream Pasta which we served with a fresh green salad. The kids ate it with a smile- and it was super quick and easy to make. The “cream” is made with raw cashews, so we were able to use our new immersion blender- which has turned into a really handy kitchen tool. We were able to use basil from our garden. This will be even better when we have fresh tomatoes in the garden!
Vegan Yum Yum has some really great recipes and gorgeous photos of the food. It just makes me hungry to cruise the site.
Baked Apricot BBQ Tofu, Sweet Potato Fries and Broccoli
Jun 25th
This delicious meal was real hit. The kids loved the Apricot BBQ Tofu, which was from Veganomicon. Sweet Potato Fries are always a hit too with the kids and the two of us, since the kids can feed their weird ketchup addiction (I found our oldest dunking apples in ketchup the other day) and we both love sweet potatoes. My wife makes them with a little garlic, cinnamon, cayenne, salt… oil… she blanched them first this time and baked them on parchment paper- so they were nice and firm.
