10.23-10.28.11

I know, I'm behind... again.

It's been a busy week between the stomach flu, meetings and the daily stuff that I have to get done.

I've been perfect as far as vegan goes and have done really well as far as not eating any fried dough/ much wheat at all.

Here's an outline:

10.23.11

Cooked two delightful things:
1, tomato basil soup with farro.
Five ingredients, tastiest thing ever.
I didn't food process/ blend- I like texture

2, vegan tempeh wraps
I also cooked up some extra tempeh to make galumpkis (no idea how to spell that right!)

And made a third piece of deliciousness:
Sunflower butter puffed rice treats with espresso chocolate topping. Amazing.

I didn't have good chocolate in the house, so I improvised with unsweetened bakers squares and some cane sugar and the resulting texture was magical.

I've decided that macaroons are the perfect dessert and made some on Wednesday.  Just used six dates, juice from one lemon and unswt coconut. Will use a little less lemon next time, but the macaroons were so delicious.

Main things I've eaten this week:

Vegan bento box from the coop
Rice and beans
Tempeh wraps (wrapped in cabbage)
Toast with earth balance (the stomach bug required something brat-y)
Sprout sandwiches
Tomato farro basil soup- I've bought all the stuff to make a massive batch of this- I plan on freezing a ton and enjoying this winter.
Vegan sushi from the coop with some vegetable protein- I need to look into what this is and if I should get a bunch of it because the sushi with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari is delightful.

On the docket for this weekend is making roasted mixed root vegetables, picking up a rosemary tree, more tomato farro basil soup, cranberry sauce, galumpkis, pumpkin torte and squash risotto.

Wish me luck!
