Thai Yellow Curry


The Mae Ploy yellow curry paste is vegan (watch out for the other ones--they have shrimp paste!) We got the paste at the local Asian market, mixed with coconut milk according to directions, and used local sweet potato & basil with onions, regular potato, tofu and bok choy for our veggies. Served over jasmine rice. Nice.

Chocolate Mousse Pie, Part 3


Yup, another version of our chocolate pie. You can never get enough chocolate pie. Notice the fresh chocolate mint, from our yard.

Mexican Lasagna



Aw yeah...a tasty casserole topped with trashy Fritos. The base is cornbread. From there we layered with refried beans, peppers, onions, and "taco filling" made by Fantastic Foods. The layers were separated by corn tortillas used like lasagna noodles. Topped it all off with a can of diced tomatoes, and added Fritos just before it was done baking (20 minutes at 350). After removing from oven and plating, of course each portion had to be smothered in home made garlicky guacamole. This is very hearty and we'll be eating it all week.

Mango Strawberry Smoothie


1 Fresh Mango
7 Fresh Strawberries
1.5 Frozen Bananas
OJ
Soymilk
Blender

Asparagus Risotto



This was made for a vegan pot luck dinner we went to Sunday night. 'Twas a hit. Shawna cooked the pasta just like I did with a previous risotto dish we posted earlier. I blended up EVOO with basil, spinach, flax seed oil, nutritional yeast, nutmeg, and pine nuts for the sauce. Then we stir-fried the asparagus until tender.
