Vegan Italiano is one of my favorite cookbooks. This evening I made the recipe called “Macaroni with Artichokes and Olives.” I have a feeling I’ll be making it a lot in the future. It was so simple to make and had a taste unique to my current usual dishes. I genuinely spent less than a half hour on it, which isn’t common even with recipes from “under 30 minutes” cookbooks!

I think I may enter these…

So, I love to cook. Entering Nate’s Meatless Meatballs’ cooking contest has inspired me to find more contests to enter. Here is a list of my possibilities.

Literal Latte: A contest involving a poem in which a specific food is mentioned. Jan. 31.

National Festival of Breads: Very prestigious and sponsored by Fleischman’s Yeast. Feb. 7. 

Martha White National Cornbread Cookoff: Where cornbread is the main course! Mar. 1.

SunMaid Chocolate Raisin Contest: A unique recipe using chocolate covered raisins as an ingredient! Apr. 30.

I may find more in the future…

For those of you who don’t know, I entered my first recipe contest last week. Nate’s Meatless Meatballs is having a contest to see what you can do with their products. They uploaded copies of the pictures they’ve gotten so far. I just happened upon seeing it when I got on Facebook this evening. Made me super excited. I FEEL LIKE THEY’RE BRAGGING ON ME BUT I KNOW THAT THEY’RE NOT. I wanna win so badly. Have to find more contests to enter…

Mmm, tofu on French bread! This is the “Veggie Pizza Bites” from 101 Things to Do With Tofu. It was actually really good! Well, after we sprinkled the tofu and tomato pate with garlic salt and fresh cracked pepper… Chris is determined to maintain veganism, at this point indefinitely. I figure I may as well share experiences and recipes and such.
