trader joe’s soy ice cream is my absolute favorite vegan ice cream. it has great texture and flavor, is organic, and has relatively healthy and few ingredients. it’s sweetened with agave and is pretty low-fat. i’ve had the vanilla and chocolate, both great, and they also have chocolate cherry and vanilla mango, which i have yet to try. i really like spreading a spoonful of the chocolate on a graham cracker, or having a bowl of it with roasted salted pecans sprinkled on top. you should try one of them and tell me what you think compared to other vegan ice cream!

- Shortbread Cookie
  1/4 cup earth balance, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1.75 cups flour, 1 cup sugar. soften earth balance and oil, mix in sugar until well-blended, then add flour until blended, form into whatever shape you like. poke each cookie with a fork. bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
- North-and-South-of-the-Border Wild Rice Salad
  - 2 c uncooked wild rice
  - 5 c water (or however much you need to cook your wild rice)
  - 3 corn cobs
  - 3 shallots, minced
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1-3 jalapeños, seeds discarded, minced (1 is very mild; 3 is spicy)
  - 1.5 T olive oil
  - 1 T white balsamic vinegar
  - juice of 1/2 lime
  - pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  - handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped
  - salt and pepper
  Cook the wild rice and let cool. Grill or roast the corn (to roast, this method works well, baking for 30 minutes at 350F in the husk or in aluminum foil), then cut off the kernels (it's fun to keep some of the kernels attached to each other). Saute the shallots, garlic, and jalapeño in 1/2 T olive oil on medium heat, adding salt and pepper to taste, until cooked (3-4 minutes). Toss together the rice, sauteed vegetables, remaining olive oil, and the rest of the ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add more olive oil, vinegar, and lime if desired.

- Apple Sage Quinoa
  - 1 c dried quinoa
  - 1-2 potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 carrots, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 T olive oil
  - 1 onion, chopped
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - an inch of ginger, minced
  - 10+ leaves of fresh sage, minced
  - crushed red pepper
  - chili powder
  - oregano
  - salt and pepper
  - 1 apple, chopped into small cubes
  - 1 can diced or crushed tomatoes (optionally replace half with tomato-chili sauce)
  - 1/4 c macadamia nuts, chopped (optional)
  - 1/4 c cilantro (optional)
  - 1/4 c scallions, chopped (optional)
  - splash apple cider vinegar (to taste, maybe 2 tsp?)
  Cook quinoa according to directions.
  
  In a pot, add potatoes and carrots and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook for a few more minutes, until just starting to cook, but not until too soft (like you would do with home fries).
  
  Saute onion, ginger, and garlic in the olive oil. After a few minutes, add the cooked potato and carrot, and cover. After a few more minutes, add the spices (sage, crushed red pepper, chili powder, salt, and pepper), and cover again.
  
  Cook until the potato and carrots are soft. At this point, add the apple, and saute for another minute or two. Then, add the tomatoes and macadamia nuts. Once hot, add the cilantro, scallions, and apple cider vinegar, plus more salt if needed.
