A Spicy Saturday Feast

Last night for dinner we made.....

Jamaican vegetable patties from Vegan Soul Kitchen. A lot of work, but very worth it. Not only do they taste yummers, the spices in the filling make your kitchen smell amazing while it is cooking.

I was missing one key ingredient, turmeric, for the dough, which would have given the patties a nice yellow glow. But through the magic of iphoto, I have added it here! We had a nice arugula salad with a simple lemon vinaigrette on the side- perfect combo. This cookbook has yet to let me down, and there are still so many recipes left I want to try! Fried green tomatoes, anyone?





For desert, we made Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. I had a strange experience with these cookies- they didn't taste so tasty warm out of the oven... a cookie experience I don't think I'd ever had before. However, when they cooled they were chewy and delicious and had a nice spicy kick to them! Look out!

Vegan MoFo: A Cookbook A Day!!!!!!!

I know it's already the 2nd day of Vegan MoFo, but I have an idea finally!!!!! Yay! I hope someone notices!!!

So, I have a lot of cookbooks. Most of them are vegan, a few of them are not but still have a lot of great recipes. I have so many, and buy them so often, and I don't think they all get enough love and attention. So, copying "Julie and Julia" a little bit, I will try to attempt to cook one recipe a day from one of my cookbooks. I have a pretty busy month ahead of me, so hopefully I can stick to the plan...

As a side note, my camera is really starting to crap out on me and taking blurry and out of focus pictures... My bday is next week, so here's hoping I get a new one...
