toasted molasses beer bread with creamy peanut butter, wild blueberry preserves; grapefruit

carrot sticks and sun-dried tomato hummus; jonathan apple; dried pineapple

delicious lime-y gin & tonic made by my housemate john

baked mac and cheeze from 1000 vegan recipes: everyone who tried it agreed that it was the best vegan mac and cheese they had ever had. it was the first time i’d ever tried making vegan mac and cheese, and i tried to pick a relatively healthy recipe (i.e. no earth balance; the sauce was a mix of onion, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, soy milk, miso, mustard, and spices). i used spelt elbow macaroni and added broccoli florets and breadcrumbs on top. i made this to bring to a bbq and was really happy with the results. email me if you want the recipe.

other vegan food at the bbq: black bean salad; quinoa/mixed bean/dried fruit salad; chips, hummus, guacamole; bush’s vegetarian baked beans simmered with special ketchup and brown sugar; lots of pineapple; peanut butter and jelly cupcakes (email me for this recipe too! my housemate made them with blackberry jam and they are THE BEST); session lager from full sail brewing company (vegan according to barnivore); tastes of a couple of homebrews; homemade sangria

will you send it to me too? have you ever had the mac and cheese from veganomicon- that is the best one I have had so far. It doesn’t taste like traditional mac and cheese, but it’s really good. katherine and I were trying to think up a more appropriate name for it.

- 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.
