Roasted Blue Potatoes, Golden Beets and a single Russet, with coarse sea salt, olive oil and pepper. 
I’ll take golden beets over red any day, any place, any time zone, as long as there’s a working oven.
Huckleberry’s Bistro style Tofu Scramble with Italian kale, green cabbage, kalamata olives, yellow bell pepper, creminis, lemon juice, shoyu, garlic and spices. I like this style because it channels the scrambles I used to make as a young vegan, over-relying on soy sauce for flavor!
Lightly fried rice with broccoli, carrots, Zesty Lemon Tempehtations (in my freezer from an old product review), leftover brown rice, sesame oil, almonds, tamari, garlic and white pepper. Definitely a ‘what do I have to work with??’ type of dinner.
Total Hodgepodge dinner. Steamed spinach, baked tofu, kalamata olives and roasted chickpeas (loosely based on Tamari Roasted Chickpeas from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan).
Not boring – just great! Lazy Samoans (with even lazier chocolate drizzlin’ and dippin’) from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar
My recent flickr stream informs me that I’ve been saving money by cooking at home lately! As much as I enjoy visiting new and old favorite establishments and socializing, I’m part hermit cat lady and have been spending time the past couple weeks enjoying fortunate holds on dvds the library (30 Rock! LOST! The Departed!)!
Isn’t that a swell segue for mention of a presentation I’m giving on this site and Local & Vegan Eating in Portland later this month at the library? Sure! I’m flattered that the library likes vegan bloggers! I’m flattered if one of my friends even half considers going!
Here’s the Multnomah County Library Events listing and the Facebook Event. I’m working on my comical winks all afternoon in preparation.
I’d go listen to your presentation if I was in pdx! your hodgepodge looks awesome. AND I need to go to the library and pick up my hold on Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar so I can make me some lazy samoas!
thanks! yay!
I’ve never seen vegan samoas!! Those were my favorites growing up – although it was close between those and frozen thin mints. I’ll have to check out the Cookie book as well!
They rule! You must get this book!
Everything looks so amazing. And those cookies… ♥
thanks!
Everything looks fantastic! I love a good roasted potatoes dish and you can never go wrong with a hearty tofu scramble. And those cookies? LOVE!
thanks!!
I love your blog! I’m in Atlanta, but you make me want to move to Portland so bad – all the pictures you post make my mouth water!!!
you are so sweet! thank you!
golden beets are far superior to red!
<3 <3 <3 golden beets!!!! every time i have them and eat with someone they always want to try them.. then end up eating all the beets from my plate.
