Vegan MoFo IV Day 12: IT'S FRIIIIIIIIIIII-DAY!

Me and the family are having a lazy lazy Friday night 'cos we all deserve it. Here's the all you can eat buffet.

We're gonna slob out and watch The Illusionist and totally recharge our batteries after a pretty intense week. A glass of wine or two may make an appearance as well.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday - see you tomorrow. Mwah!

Vegan MoFo Day 27: Rose Elliot Made my Dinner

Not literally you understand, but it was her yummy recipes that I used and I wanted to grab your attentions.

First off was Falafel and totally inspired by happy vegan face. The cool thing about Rose Elliot's The Supreme Vegetarian Cook Book is that the Falafel recipe gives a Vegan option too. YAY! I'm guessing it's totally unethical of me to type the recipe in this here blog but lucky for us, but not so lucky for Rose, Jim Carson has totally put her recipe on his blog. Thanks Jim! Instead of using chicken periods to bind all the otherwise scrummy ingredients just use 2 tablespoons of Chickpea Flour as a binding ingredient and as a coating for the Breadcrumbs you just make a batter mixture using Chickpea Flour again, mixed with a little water. Simple. These were served with Guacamole from Rose Elliot, warm Wholemeal Pittas from the Supermarket, Cauiliflower Salad from the Oxfam Vegetarian Cookbook (thanks 'lil pea), Simple Salad with the Spicey Mustard Dressing from Veganomicon and a Tomato Salsa that I just threw together using a tin of Plum Tomatoes, Green Pepper, Onions, Green Chilli, Garlic and Olive Oil. Total yumness. The Cauliflower Salad is really easy and really good - though a lot of people don't like the thought of raw Cauliflower I urge you to give it a try. The secret is to chop ALL the ingredients up really really fine. Yeah - I know you all look fine when you chop things up anyway! LOL! Today's song is The Wombles of Wimbledon thanks to Becks from I am not a rabbit! Need I say more!

Oooh yeah - check out her Apple Pie Crumble creation - the rabbit is a genius!!

Vegan MoFo Day 24: Mexican can can

Yes I can can.

Tonight's veritable feast was all out Mexican nosh - my favourite! I made: Guacamole (though I used proper Garlic because I can't imagine Guacamole without it - it's not right, and I didn't use Cilantro 'cos Mr treehugger Hates it with a capital H) Queso (this was good) Salad - this was just 4 different types of Lettuce, Cherry Plum Tomatoes and Spicy Mustard Dressing from Veganomicon Doritos Spicy Beans and Vegetables - this was Courgettes, Aubergine, Peppers (green and red) Onion, Carrot, Sweetcorn and Kidney Beans in a spicy Mexican Salsa. And Tortillas

Guacamole (how cute is my dish!!) and Queso

It was soooo blinking yum I couldn't stop eating and now I can't move. Sorry there's no more pictures but they came out even more crappy than usual and I wasn't gonna faff around when all that good nosh was waiting to be scoffed! Today's musical melody is totally AWESOME!!!

The music is by Session and that is all I know. I have googled and googled these guys to no avail but this song totally has me hooked! Into the treeeeeees
