It's the end of the night of MoFo 2010!
I'm pushing the time here because it's almost midnight.
It's been fun and a bit stressful at the same time to try and blog everyday. I'm bummed that I had some hiccups regarding computer/internet issues during the month. I really enjoyed visiting more blogs and seeing all of the talented vegan cooks and bakers out there in blogland. There are a plethera of recipes I want to make and I figure if I make all of them I'll never have to make another meal more than once! lol!
Thanks to all of you who have visited my blog and kept me going by your comments. Until next year of Vegan MoFo...keep on bloggin'.
Here's a cookbook I bought when my son was born, 12 years ago. I made most of his food...yes it took some time but I just felt better doing it. I also wanted my son to have more of an open palate and to enjoy all kinds of foods or shall I say...flavors. This is a vegetarian cookbook, I wasn't vegan back then, but my son loved the recipes. I even enjoyed them too. Which brings me to tell you why I'm talking about this book. I remembered making a really good stew from this book(it's been years) so I decided to make it for Dave's birthday tonight. It's called Frosty Stew and it has all kinds of root vegetables, dark ale(for depth) and bouquet garni for the herbs. This would even be good with tempeh in it.
Next time I will not chop the veggies up so much, I don't know what I was thinking, but it turned out really good. I actually had other plans for this stew but it didn't work out so I'll save it for some other time.
A couple of weeks ago I received a copy of
More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally by Fran Costigan
from the Book Publishing Company. This is a great book for everyone to have. Fran Costigan teaches at the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC. Looking through the book I found a recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies and they looked perfect. They hardly have any additional fat in them besides the peanut butter. Dave loves peanut butter cookies and well I just don't ever make them so.....for his birthday I did.
They turned out a bit crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just perfect! Now I have to try to find a GF version for Keaton. Hmmm?
Enjoy your night!
