Food, Lovely Food

I cannot wait until I can get a kitchen all to myself. The first three things I'm making are salmon, pesto, and this pear and gorgonzola crostini (though maybe I'll sub in some chevre).

Vegan Returns with Vengeance

A Pair and A Spare, how do you always read my mind?? Just when I was losing motivation to do the vegan twice a week thing, in swoops my favorite blogger of all time with this brilliant post about a vegan recipe blog called Lookbook Cookbook. Their claim to fame? "American Apparel-esque girls" modeling/eating vegan and gluten-free food. Chances the girls actually were eating the chocolate covered chocolate chip cookies? Minimal.

But I mean, come on. How great is this? Definitely ready to make some vegan kitchen magic!

Classy Fried Cheese

The words "fried," "cheese," and "classy" typically do not go well together, or at all. But change that to "panko, white pepper, and thyme fried," "goat chèvre cheese," and "classy with a top hat," and you've got yourself another whole situation my friend.

Such a good use of a bored afternoon at home. Fried goat cheese is definitely a keeper. Just don't look up the caloric content.
