Favorite Family Recipes

Last night we had an eclectic meal made up of some old favorites and some new experiments. Since it's still Spring Break, we enjoyed the company of a small group of friends and family. Our meal included a grape, apple, and blueberry salad, Brandi's family favorite "pinwheels" made from tortillas, cream cheese and olives, vegan ceviche with tomatoes and avocados, sweet potatoes, cous cous and garbanzo bean casserole, and chocolate chip cookies. Thanks to everyone who came! Come again next week for Brandi's raw food dinner!

Ethiopian food!

Last Saturday we had our Ethiopian dinner, which tied with Mediterranean as our most popular dinner yet! 31 people joined us for the meal, and first-year Laura Koeller (who lived in Ethiopia for part of last year) helped us plan the menu. We got injera from Rahel Vegan Ethiopian Cuisine in Little Ethiopia, and served a full vegetarian spread on injera, with lentil and yam stew, shiro wat, wilted garlic spinach, dinich wat, cucumber and tomato salad, and cut fruit to finish. Thanks so much to everyone who came, cooked, and cleaned!

Have a great Spring Break, everyone! Join us March 16th for Favorite Family Recipes!

Thai food!

Tonight we made Thai food. I freaking love Thai food.

Here's what we ate: Thai iced tea, spicy cucumber salad, stir-fried eggplant with basil, tofu pad see ew, a variation on a veggie curry I learned in Norwich, and Thai coconut purple sweet rice with mango. Many thanks to all our guests and helpers! Next week: Ethiopian!
