Acorn Squash, Pear and Adzuki Soup with Sauteed Shiitakes
This soup was so excellent. The pears and squash gave it an excellent flavor. The Shiitake mushrooms were the best part. There weren’t enough- even though I got the kid’s share. The kids barely tried the soup either. It wasn’t a hit with them, but it was an amazing hit with the adults. It was pretty simple to make as well. If you don’t have Veganomicon, get it.

Spinach-Noodle Kugel and Sweet Potato-Pear Tzimmes

Spinach-Noodle Kugel and Sweet Potato-Pear Tzimmes
We had a really nice family friendly meal with these two recipes together. The baby ate his weight in sweet potatoes and kugel.
Spinach-Noodle Kugel page 151 Veganomicon is a little bland. It had a very creamy firm texture from the firm tofu and nice dill flavor, but needed something to zing it up for the adults.
Sweet Potato-Pear Tzimmes with Pecans and Raisins page 156 Veganomicon was a really hit with all of us. I loved the crunchy pecans and the sweet potatoes. Instead of baking it we fried it in a cast iron pan and it worked really well- since the oven was occupied with the kugel.
