You are probably sick of hearing about how busy I am, but it's the truth. This is what I've managed to squeeze in the past week..

An attempt at "omelettes". In defense of the recipe, I didn't entirely follow it - I was supposed to pour the egg in with the veggies, but that's not my definition of an omelette, so I tried to keep it separate. It ended up more like a veggie filled pancake. Next time I'm going to try my own thing instead, I have some ideas. This was still tasty, just.. not even close to what it was imitating.



Quinoa custard and date-toffee pie, with a quinoa-coconut cream. Though it had been chilling for twice as long as recommended, it wasn't completely set yet when I ate this piece. Lots of unusual flavours mixing in this.. coffee, carob, lemon and lime, coconut milk, banana, soy and rice milk, quinoa, dates, molasses. You can't tell here but there's three layers to the pie. If I made it again, I would leave out the banana, which overpowers everything, and add more coffee.



Some cauliflower curry soup I threw together last night, using whatever I needed to use up in my fridge.



Mocha "vice cream", with a couple of chocolate covered coffee beans on top. Sooo good.

It's been exactly a month since my last post, and I've been feeling kind of guilty for not updating. It's not like I haven't been eating.. (though I haven't really been up to anything interesting, either, considering this is all I have to show for a month). One more month and I can get back in the kitchen..

I guess I'll start with breakfast food, and go from there. Orange hazelnut scones, made by Heather, adapted from ExtraVeganZa:



This my look like just a bowl of fruit to you, but it is my favourite fruit salad right now. 1 banana, 4-5 strawberries, 1 red grapefruit (with any excess juice from cutting it up poured in). The strawberry/grapefruit combo is really complementary... and I can't get enough..



Some muffins, made by Matt's mom. The back one is blueberry, the front one is "morning glory" - some delicious combination of bran, carrots, pineapple, I think sunflower seeds, raisins? and who knows what else, but they're yummy.



Vegan junk food. Grilled tofutti "cheese" with fried onions and tomatoes, and breaded seitan chicken fingers. This is a terrible picture, sorry.



Quinoa Pine Nut Pilaf. This originally started as someone else's recipe, but I've changed it so much by now that it's .. no longer even close. I love it, though.



Lentil curry, loosely based on this recipe, on brown basmati rice.



Agave nectar cupcakes (VCTOTW), for mother's day. Pretend they're not in spongebob liners.



I made the blueberry mousse and tried to get fancy with it. The mousse gave me a lot of problems, though.. it was way too runny to begin with, I added 1 1/2 t of xanthan gum to try and gel it up a bit. It got much better, but still didn't quite keep it's shape for very long, and the tops tried to run away shortly after I assembled the cupcakes.. oh well.



Mocha mousse (VCTOTW), with melted chocolate on top. I think I like this recipe more than any of the cupcake recipes in the whole book, which is saying a lot. The texture of this mousse is so good.. I make it to eat by itself, nevermind inside a cupcake.



That's all for now. I promise to return to a normal schedule in July, there's so much stuff I want to make.
