HANDS DOWN BEST SAMMY ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!!!

So after buying Sarah Kramers Vegan-A-Go-Go book and being disappointed it was mostly reused recipes, I decided to try one of the new ones that appeared for BBQ sauce. Let me tell you this sauce is orgasmic! I made the most amazing sandwich using it - toasted Sourdough bread + facon (fake bacon) + tomatoes and sometimes a slice of Tofutti cheddar cheese. I usually dip the sammy in it or just dump it overtop and drown it in this heavenly sauce.


I can always smell this sauce for days afterwards, mmmmmmm!

PANCAKES + PASTA

My new favourite pancake recipe.
I have fallen in love with Strawberry Spelt Pancakes!
They are the easiest thing to make.
My recipe only makes a couple and I usually just estimate.
1.5 cups light spelt flour
1 tbsp raw sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
- stir together.
- add 1 tbsp oil
and 1/2 - 1 c. water
- toss in some strawberries
- heat up a pan with some earth balance margarine and away you go.

POTLUCK LEFTOVERS
I had some leftover brown rice penne from the pesto salad I made for our work potluck and decided to make nice pasta for lunch.

I made a yummy mushroom sauce recipe I found online and added some carmelized red onions, zucchini and spinach with lots of pepper. It was fantastic.

HEALTH FOOD POTLUCK

This summer I am appropriately working in the health food market deli in the kitchen. I have picked up quite a few cooking secrets as well as a library of recipes.
Today we had a potluck, which was fantastic.
One of my coworkers can't have gluten, dairy, soy, chocolate, bananas or oil. She also dislikes potatoes. What does a vegan make for someone with such a unique combo of intolerances?

I made an oil-free pesto pasta salad using brown rice penne noodles.
For the pesto I combined fresh basil, spinach, lemon juice, garlic, pasta water and sea salt + fresh ground pepper. I tossed in zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red and green peppers as well as some toasted pine nuts. It went over well although I really missed the oil, it was rather light and refreshing.

I also brough some homemade guacamole with corn chips. One of the girls made an impromptu black bean dip that was incredible! I can't wait for the next potluck/feast!

PERTINENT QUESTION

Where has SoNice soy yogurt gone?? In Canada it has completely vanished from shelves. That and those soy-cream cones.
