Geoffrey helped me make a better version of my Shepherd’s pie. We made the following changes:
- used peas instead of green beans and added tomato sauce (the previous recipe was too dry)
- made the mash with margarine and soy milk (a lot lot creamier this way)
- made it two layers (instead of three) with the protein layer on the bottom and mash on top
It was super yummy !

Geoff made muffins while I was teaching this morning !!
Vegan banana berry coconut muffins: banana, blueberries, coconut, cinnamon and rolled oats. Yum !!
{May 16, 2008} Spring sandwich
My boss recently referred me to a vegetarian sandwich on Slashfood. The sandwich looked and sounded delicious: cream cheese, hummus, tomatoes, cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts and watercress. My vegan variation of the original was amazing and so very tasty !
I used vegan cream cheese and avocado instead of cucumber. Yum !
{May 16, 2008} Vegan gelato !!
I had dinner with a friend last night. After dinner we walked over to a small cafe on the corner to get some tea. I was surprised at how many different types of vegan gelatos they had ! I was too full to have any last night but I am definitely planning to try some next time !
