Hey.. here's a quick post to let you know I haven't completely forgotten about this. Even though I really haven't been taking pictures of what I'm eating lately. I have about a million other things going on right now.. and on top of that I just moved to a small remote community in northern Alberta (aka beef country) so.. meals are about to become interesting. Especially considering there's a serious lack of fresh vegetables here, and what is available is very expensive.

But.. for now I will leave you with some highlights from NS. In no particular order..

Tofu scramble with tabouli.. a classic, and I was really craving it after not eating it for 2 months.



Pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seeds.. you'll see a theme here soon.



I made some "nutella" out of hazelnut butter someone gave me.. it was so good. I technically should have added oil but decided not to, which made it a bit dry, but I didn't mind.



I got veganomicon a couple weeks later and noticed a recipe for nutella in there, I'll have to try that out next time.

Thai stew (or something like it, I definitely modified this) from The Everyday Vegan.. it was delicious.



The vegan breakfast from Pyramid Cafe in Halifax. I ate this many times.. so good & so cheap. Though their falafels are a little bit disappointing (Too dry - I'm still missing Falafel Place in Winnipeg). Overall it's amazing though, got a little bit of everything.



VwaV peanut sauce and udon noodles with tofu.. another classic.



A big ol' pot of chocolate chip cookies. This pot was also my only "cake pan", because I had no cake pans, so I'd line this with parchment instead.



Pumpkin muffins with freshly roasted pumpkin. The first time I tried this, I mixed up the sugar with the salt... not a good idea.



Pumpkin cheesecake from Heartwood Cafe & Bakery in Halifax. Yes, I am crazy about pumpkin. This was alright but nothing like a cheesecake, I am not sure why they called it that.



Anyway.. that's all for now. I may hibernate for winter.. so if you don't hear from me, just assume I'm too busy trying to scavenge for vegetables in this land full of meat.

My sister and I made sushi last night. This was her first time.. and she's pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself. We used shitake mushrooms, roasted red pepper, flavoured tempeh, avacado, green onions, various sprouts, cucumber, sesame seeds, veganaise and some sweet & spicy sauce, for the most part.. and there was probably at least 3 times as much altogether as I have pictured here (gotta have leftovers..)


Even a few inside out rolls were attempted, more or less successfully.

Before..

..and after it was demolished :)


Some velvet red lentil soup (with added carrots) and a tofu-salad pita (tofu extravanganza from La Dolce Vegan)


Some biscuits Stef made this afternoon. Ate one when I got home from work, they were still warm and delicious:


Udon noodles, seitan and peanut sauce from VWAV. Best peanut sauce ever. I brought this to an omnivorous potluck and it was great.
