So, as I said yesterday, I knew I could do this better, so I tried the trick of the Shepard’s pie, and made a mashed potato topping. I added yogurt, and thought that would be good enough for the mashed potatoes, and then thought I had done the same thing for the filling, as I […]

Making Savory Autumn Root pie, part I
by Laura R. on 16. Sep, 2010 in carrots, Golden Beets, potatoes, Veggies
Wow, still more carrots. I had to figure out something cool to do with them, and then I came across a recipe for Savory Autumn Leaf Pies in the Vegan Lunch Box book, by Jennifer McCann. It was actually for little individual pies, but it also had a variation where you could make it into […]
Carrot and Zucchini Muffins, gluten free
by Laura R. on 10. Sep, 2010 in carrots, Muffins, zucchini
A while ago, when Cartoonist started middle school, I thought I would help her with ideas for her lunch, and bought a book called “The Healthy Lunchbox.” I had forgotten that we even had the book, until I started looking through the cookbook shelves to see what I could come up with for her to […]

Wow, this was a great recipe, and we loved how it came out. We discovered this one because Cartoonist has to make her lunches, this year, in high school, and we wanted a cook book that was made for lunches, and packable lunches. What we bought was “Vegan Lunch box” by Jennifer McCann. We figured […]

As often happens there is a lag time when things have to go into the fridge and wait. Once I got the mix off the pot, I had to blend it again, with the apple sauce I had made the other day. Problem was that it was quite hot, so I couldn’t just reach my […]
Chilled apple and carrot soup, Part I
by Laura R. on 28. Aug, 2010 in Apples, carrots, Chilled, Soup
Once again, we have too many apples (Is it possible?), so we looked up another recipe from the Savor book. We decided, because of the weather, to make Chilled Apple and Carrot Soup. We had most of the ingredients, and those we didn’t have, that we didn’t get, were just those for the garnish, which […]
Quite enough carrots, thank you
by Laura R. on 17. Aug, 2010 in carrots, cartos
I don’t usually have this problem. Come to think of it, I never have this problem, as Cartoonist love carrots, and even if I had a bunch or two bunches, she would eat them before the week was out. But this week, was different, she went off to a be in a wedding, so hasn’t […]
