Hiatus Over

Well, there really is no excuse for how long I've been gone... but I"m back now. I don't know if I've brought this up before, but last year on August 5th, I went off the meat, so I'll be experimenting with many Veggie and Vegan recipes. I've actually been cooking up a storm lately, so I have LOTS to post!

OTHER EXCITING NEWS: I got my laptop lunchbox (http://www.laptoplunches.com/) in the mail yesterday, and made an excellent brunch for myself. I did take pictures of it, so I'll post those later. I've been reading this post (http://www.veganlunchbox.com/) for years now, and have always wanted the bento that she uses. As I have been out of lunch baggies for over two months now, and have been using solely reusable containers, I figured it was time to treat myself to a really great bento! It finally came in the mail yesterday, and is just as wonderful as I thought it would be! Even the Hunny was excited! (I got him a black and red one, but mine is the "whimsical" colors.)

TODAY FOR MY BRUNCH I PACKED:
Sourdough bread (I will use Brummel and Brown to make this into toast though)
Sliced Fresh Strawberries with a sprinkling of raw sugar
a teeny tiny bit of slices Bree
a teeny tiny bit of Merlot cheese
a quarter of a vanilla tart from La Madeleine

A bit much, I know... but it's brunch! And all I'll have after that is probably a couple of pieces of fruit.

WHAT SORT OF THINGS HAVE I COOKED, SO WHAT DO WE HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU?
Well I'll tell ya...

• Open Faced Sourdough Sandwiches with Sweet Potato Patties, fresh greens, and the greatest vinaigrette EVER
• High Fiber Low Fat Vegan Brownies
• Marshmallow Fluff
• Filo Rosettes with Bree
• Yummy Spinach Salad with that same "Greatest Vinaigrette Ever"

And that's just a beginning. I've been a cooking fool, lately! Tonight, I think I will use that marshmallow fluff to make rice crispy treats. Oh how I have been missing those bad boys since I went all veggie and stuff. They have good ones at Trader Joe's... but they aren't the same!

THING I'M ABOUT TO TRY:
What does Courtney have in her fridge to try out, you might want to know... WELL...

• Tofu Jerky
• Those Rice Crispy treats

And more!

Keep posted...
