Delicious family style greek food at Taverna. The cocktails were delicious. I got a blood orange margarita got me a little buzzed. We ordered a bean dip, Skordalia garlic dip, the roasted potatoes, and the giant Greek beans. My husband got the chicken pita. Everything was so so good.
Lunch. Turkish vermicelli soup with cabbage and zucchini, recipe by @melizcooks and tofu egg salad sandwich. Delicious!
Yesterday I made Frankenstein Oatcakes, a veganized recipe from @rhubarbandlavender Inspired by the food in the novel. These were delicious, soft, chewy and slightly sweet. I topped them with vegan cheese and fig jam. Perfect with a cup of tea.
Delicious olive cheese bread I made this morning that I veganized. And papaya salad that my mom made for me yesterday.
Bean curry and rice. The spices are: garlic paste, ginger paste, cumin seeds, cumin powder, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves). Delicious!
Today I cooked from Native American Cooking : Foods of the Southwest Indian Nations and it was a long day of cooking but came out delicious. I made pinto beans in the crockpot which took about 4-5 hours and I made red chile sauce and Indian fry bread from the book. I topped the tacos with pico de gallo, the red chile sauce and coconut yogurt spiked with lime juice. Really tasty and the bread was a hit with my kid. I’m not a deep fryer so I might only make this on a few occasions. But if you haven’t tried it, you should!
I made Giada’s butternut squash lasagna with basil cream sauce. Totally veganized using vegan mozzarella and full fat soymilk. I also made Native American Three Sisters Salad, mashed potatoes and pumpkin cornbread. Everything was delicious. Never forget that we are all on stolen land and the true origins of this holiday that began with genocide and land theft. We can still acknowledge this and at the same time practice gratitude for the blessings we have. Giving thanks is an ancient spiritual tradition.
