Orecchiette

I decided to make some pasta for the first time the other night. I picked up some semolina flour and followed this recipe. It's so easy and yummy! I roasted some brussels sprouts and added tomato, olive oil, basil, garlic and salt. I will definitely be doing some of this in the future. 

Pizza!

I used this Quick and Easy Pizza Crust recipe and it turned out great. I used 1/2 can of pizza sauce and topped it with garlic, red onion, bell pepper, mango and basil.

Recap

I haven't been posting much. Here's a few highlights. 

Bagel recipe from Vegan Brunch with scallion Tofutti cream cheese and chipotle hummus.

Same bagel recipe, but I made 8 large ones instead of 12. 

Sushi with carrots, spinach, red bell peppers, cream cheese.

Roasted veggies with gluten-free pasta spirals.

Whoops, how did this get in here!? It's no big deal.

Soup

Today's cool and cloudy weather is a sharp contrast to the hot and sunny weather over the past few days. So I decided to make some soup. 

I diced:

• 1 yukon gold
• 1 russet potato
• 1-2 large carrots
• 1/4 large onion
• 3 collard leaves, stems removed and diced, leaves rolled and sliced thinly

And put it in a pot with about 8 quarts of water. I brought it to a boil. While this was happening, I diced up a 1/3 bunch of scallions.

I put in two Not-Chick'n bouillon cubes. After the vegetables were soft, I added two handfuls of wakame, the scallions, and maybe 2 teaspoons of salt.

It's hitting the spot.
