Thanks so much, Dreena, for posting your favorite recipes. I'll make these first. I just ordered Vive from Borders and will be picking it up in about 7 days. I can't wait to make those Fudgey Brownies with the ganache sauce, Would love it if you would post your fav. recipes from this book also. Thanks again.
Wow! Thank you so much Dreena for the wonderful reply! I can't wait to start cooking recipes from TEV.
Also, I ordered Meat Market because of your recomendation. I am only about half way through, but-oh man! Some of the information he presents is mind- blowing. I think I will pass my book along to friends and relatives after I finish it. I think it's a must-read for everyone. Thanks for recommending it!
Wow, now I need some artichoke dip! I could eat artichokes everyday, I think!
I really love dropping in on your blog, but it makes for a miserably hungry day at work, looking at all the food pr0n!
Thanks for stopping by my blog again!
Hi Starla, thanks for your feedback. Re the brownies, the ganache isn't listed with the brownie recipe in Vive, but it is basically the topping used for "Chocolate Hemp Squares", and I've also posted the info in the first post on the brownies here. Any q's, let me know, and I hope you enjoy! :)
Hi Julie... no problem!! I just thought "hmm, this could be a lengthy relpy on the comments (as if my other ones aren't - ha!), and so I decided to pop on a post instead. Yes, Meat Market is a very powerful and persuading read!
Hi Krispycheks! Your blog is really great, and it looks like you're having fun with it! Thanks for those nice words.... :)
I think you forgot Mexican Tofu Tacos! I really like those.
Thanks Carrie - you know, I haven't made those in such a long time, but they *are* good. Thanks for adding your say!!
Awesome post!
The pictures are amazing!
It's midweek munchies time! I would love to see your shopping lists! :) If you have time...time? What's that? HAHA
Oh! Have you made that Hummus/Quinoa dish lately? I can't wait to see a pic of that!
Oh! I laughed out loud while playing scrabble the other night! I had the word Quinoa!!! Just no where to lay it down.
I highly second the endorsement for the caeser dressing, and for the soul full chili! I made it Sunday night with tvp and it's so warming and delicious.
Another suggestion for the new book! SAUCES!!! Yum!
See, Harmonia, not only are you eating healthier but you're also scoring on board games!! ...oh, the advantages of a veggie diet are just endless!! :) (will make that casserole soon, promise!)
Hi Jess, thanks for that input! Every time I make chili I change it up somehow - just one of those most versatile recipes, you know?
You make me laugh! In a good way of course! It's true...the benefits are endless!
:)
