General Tao's Tofu

Recipe from Vegweb.com. http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7464
WOW, seriously...This was amazing. Even the omni dad approved!

Mac and Cheeze/Pesto Pasta

This was the best Mac and Cheeze I've made to date! I used this recipe: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7464 I also added some nut yeast, pepper and salt. I didn't use the pam. Next to it is the Pesto pasta. I used the pesto recipe from VwaV. Lovely!

Couple of dishes from VwaV:

Chickpea Broccoli Casserole

This stuff is UNREAL. SOO amazingly good. I like to add cajun spice to mine sometimes.

Mango Ginger Tofu (seen with Chickpea Broccoli Casserole)

Also a very good recipe. Next time I make this I'm going to use slabs of tofu so I can make sandwiches with the leftovers.

Orecchiette with Chery Tomatoes and Kalamata Tapenade

This is a lovely comforting pasta dish. I LOVE pasta. I like this dish alot - Very easy to make and super yummy!

Tempeh Reuben

This is my first time using tempeh and I have to say its delicious! Very Very nice. I went on after this to make tempeh bacon, which I used in a ''bacon'', lettuce and tomato sandwich. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.

CUPCAKE!

Pie and Failed Veggie Loaf :[ and Bento

2006-08-30T06:05:00.000-07:00

I made a Veggie Loaf using Jennifer Shmoo's http://www.veganlunchbox.com/loaf_studio.html (Magical Loaf Studio). It's where you can create your own personalised recipe for a veggie loaf.
I haven't even made a meatloaf before so i wasn't sure how it would turn out. I burned it abit and it was abit of a disaster as it didn't stay intact when you cut it into slices.

I also made a pie using chunky vegetables, TVP and onion gravy. It was soo good.
I had that with the veggie loaf mashed up with ketchup :]

I had some left over pastry so i made a quick cornish style pasty using some of the mashed up veggie loaf and onion gravy .

I just came back from Leeds Festival two days ago so I'm stocking up on the comfort food at the moment. It was a great weekend. Could have been better without the monsoon esque rain on the sunday though!
