I am a happy herbivore (fan)

This week I made a few different dishes.


I made this recipe for kashmiri-style kidney beans, and served it over brown rice. Pookie wasn't a big fan so it's unlikely I'll make it again. (no pic)

I made a pot of quinoa kitchari to eat on all week long (this is always a winner). It's from the 30 minute vegan cookbook, but I linked to where I found it. I make it with cabbage, spinach, broccoli, because I followed her version and liked it just that much. Served with hot chili sauce and braggs. Sometimes I use red cabbage and it gives it a pretty purpley color. I found several of those little bags of green lentils in the pantry so used those instead of the red lentils I usually use in this. Just as tasty.





I have only recently discovered happyherbivore.com as I have been veg a short time. Luckily, that means I have only been waiting a few months for her cookbook to come out. I have a tonnnn of things bookmarked in it to make! I was excited to try her biscuit & gravy recipe, and was quite happy with how it turned out. There was no delay in making it, lol. I bought her book on itunes, read it, bookmarked almost everything, and went to the kitchen to make biscuits & sausage style gravy.





I also made her Smoky black bean enchiladas.

Oh em gee. So good. I made 1/2 of them with flour tortillas, and 1/2 with corn tortillas. The corn tortillas were preferred by all (yknow, Pookie & I, lol). The recipe calls for homemade enchilada sauce which I made, yummy. It also calls to make some queso sauce, which I decided to forgo. While Boo will eat about anything I put on his plate, he is not a big fan of faux cheese sauces. I am hopeful that will change, but until then we use the daiya shreds (cheddar style). I had a couple of grape tomatoes about to go wonky on me so tossed those on top along with some green onions. Verrrry verry good.




Not near as pretty as her picture of the food, mine is um, more rustic I guess? lol
