I'm still reeling from MoFo. I've spent the last 10 days chilling out, baking, and getting ready for our Texas trip. I felt compelled to post today because I opened up
Appetite for Reduction, and had the Caesar Salad with Eggplant Bacon. Basically, I'd like to have Isa's babies. That ish is AMAZING! It's so good. Plus, 1 serving is only 100 calories. I had 2 because the salad was
that good!

And some other stuff from when I tested. I didn't take nearly enough pictures, though. I think this curry was my first tester. It was so damn good. And I love love love the jerk asparagus!

The Goddess Niçoise was probably my favorite tester. It was so colorful and seriously delicious. This is what I love about Appetite for Reduction...the salads are so frickin' delicious and filling.

| just a gorgeous plate of awesome |
This is the Pineapple Collards with what I'm pretty sure is the Red Lentil and Root Veggie Dal. It was delish.

I've already mapped out our New Year's meal and it will be this plate of awesome. Prolly even some cornbread. Mmm.

I also loved the Surefire Seitan so very much. Ooh! And the Tempeh Helper...and the Basic Baked Tofu! I can't wait to make more from this book because I only tested around 15 recipes or so. Bad tester!
This blog is probably going to be pretty quiet until January, but I just bought some books (
Vegan Soul Kitchen and
Yellow Rose Recipes) and received a copy of
Caribbean Vegan. I'll be cooking up a storm and giving reviews and all that.
Ooh, and I'm hoping to film and put up an ultra nerdy Festivus episode while in San Antonio. I hope everybody is enjoying December! I'm still catching up on blogs, and it feels like I'll never be done.
Happy Friday!
