Bean thread noodles

 For dinner tonight I made a serving of thin vermicelli bean thread noodles and topped it with the Thai peanut bean salad plus extra peanut sauce. It was yummy. 😋 #beanthreadnoodles

Two bean salads

 Thai peanut and Greek style. Both so good!

Dolly cake!

 I made Dolly’s strawberry cake today. I had to veganize though. I used applesauce instead of egg and oil instead of butter. Still came out moist and delicious! 🍓🍰

Vegetable pastry

 Last week I had the most delicious vegetable puff pastry at my local coffee shop and I knew I had to try to make it myself. I roasted vegetables that were tossed in a marinade of Turkish red pepper paste, sundried tomato, olive oil, cumin, mint, basil, Aleppo pepper, salt and black pepper. I mixed in thawed frozen spinach before filling the dough. I didn’t have enough puff pastry sheets so I was only able to get 3 pocketshh out of it. I made a quick flatbread dough and got four more pockets. This was delicious! The flavor profile was good and will definitely make again. #veggiepastry

Lentil noodle soup and Cuppa Cuppa Cake

 Two things! Lentil and noodle soup made from leftover Moroccan veggie stew. Dolly’s Cuppa Cuppa cake with vegan ice cream! Unreal. It was delicious. I didn’t have plain vanilla ice cream so I ate it with chocolate chip cookie dough. I’m not mad! 😋😋😋

Recipe:

A cuppa flour (self rising or add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder!)

A cuppa sugar (or be a wimp like me and use 1/2 to 3/4 lol)

A cuppa fruit cocktail with the juice (I used light syrup)

Mix and add to greased pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly!

Thank you Gotham Greens!

 So happy to eat salad greens that are safe from parasites! I made homemade croutons too!

RIP Sweet Dolly

 So sad that we lost a legend. She still had so much more life to live. She will be remembered for her humanitarian efforts and of course her music and lovely self.  I had to pick up some of her cake mixes. Looking forward to making them.
