banana muffins

i had some bananas that over ripened very quickly, so i took the opportunity to try out the lower fat banana bread recipe in veganomicon. to save time, i made muffins instead. needless to say, they were perfectly delicious.

onions and radishes

i post this just to show that i am being a good photo student and doing my homework, even at the farmer's market.  i had to quick snap this one because it's crowded in small tunnel that is the fulton market.

tots and veggies

if there can be any advantages to a cool summer, one might be that you can cook non-summer foods if you feel like it.  who would normally want their oven on for 60 minutes in a no a/c apartment in july?  maybe people in the southern hemisphere.

one of the most exciting parts of this tater tot casserole was the cream of mushroom soup that is made in the process.  it got us thinking of ideas for holiday cooking to easily veganize some classics.

summer pies

rhubarb banana pie

mom arens modified a rhubarb pie recipe to veganize it, substituting banana for the eggs.  it worked like a charm.  she gave me the recipe, so i'll find it and post it here soon.

strawberry pie

we went strawberry picking with dad and owen in montague and turned many strawberries into jam, but we saved some to make a vegan strawberry pie.  this recipe uses cornstarch to thicken up a strawberry and sugar glaze.  add a little soyatoo and you're all set.
