What we eat

Here's some samples from the past few weeks of what we've been eating, besides pie. Maybe we can make this a weekly thing, if I can remember to take photos (Facebook friends probably think I'm heavy on the food photos, but that's probably less than half of what we actually cook/bake...)

Soba with greens and veggies

This is a soba noodle stir fry, with bok choy (or pak choi or what have you), peppers, onions, and carrots, mixed with a homemade sauce and topped with toasted almonds. This was a recipe from the book Wild About Greens, which was a gift from my mom. Bok choy is one of my favorite greens.

Wonton soup and scallion pancakes

We also made our own scallion pancakes (recipe; we subbed about 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat) and wonton soup last week. We made our own wontons filled with tofu, scallions, and ginger. The broth was made with soy sauce and some miso paste, as well as other seasonings. The soup and the pancakes were both really yummy but kind of labor intensive, but I'd make them both again. 

I made these cookies yesterday, the chocolate coconut cookies meant to resemble a certain Girl Scout cookie. These are from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, one of the most awesome cookie-cookbooks. These are really good and actually pretty easy to make. The cookbook has other good recipes as well, like peanut butter chocolate pillow cookies, which I've made many times...

We've also been eating some good food we didn't photograph, like caramelized cabbage and onions with macaroni and Daiya, sautéed squash burritos, fried zucchini sticks, and marbled vanilla & chocolate cupcakes. Unfortunately, we've also been kind of sick as of late, which means today my lunch was nuts and tea. Hopefully that will pass soon!
