Vegan Cheesy Bean Enchiladas October 7, 2008

I found the following recipe at www.vegweb.com and it is really yummy. It is so hard to believe that there is no cheese in this dish! It was rich and filling and flavorful.

 

I made the following revisions to the recipe:

- I used 15 tortillas instead of 10. I was actually cramped for time so I didn’t roll the mix into the tortillas but instead what I created was an enchilada casserole, layering tortillas and then the cheesy bean mixture.

- I used 2 cans of beans instead of 3. My preference was organic pinto beans and black beans

- I used 1 onion instead of 2 which was plenty

- I deleted the olives because my man does not like black olives and I am impartial to them

 

I served this yummy enchilada casserole topped with sliced avocado and chopped green onions.

Peanuty Pasta Goodness October 7, 2008

I found the following recipe on a great website called The Post Punk Kitchen (www.theppk.com). This site was recommended to me when we decided to go vegan for a week. There are so many recipes on this website that I can’t wait to make. Seriously, Check it out!  

 

The following recipe was called Peanut Noodles with Zucchini. I changed the name because I made a few little revisions and after I made it my boyfriend called it “Peanuty Pasta Goodness”! And that it is!

 

To the recipe I added the following;

- I used 2 zucchini instead of 1. One of the reviewers recommended adding some sliced red bell pepper which I plan to do next time.

- I added Thai Style Baked Tofu from Trader Joe’s which I cut into bite sized chunks and added to the skillet after the zucchini had cooked for about 5 minutes.

- I added the juice of 1 lime to the sauce and as well as a little Sriracha.  

 

I served the rich sauce over whole wheat pasta and topped the dish with sliced green onions for a fresh n’ crunchy bite.

 

I will definitely be making this recipe again!
