8/19/2012 1 Comment She Ain't heavy...she's my sisterWell, the above title carries with it several meanings. But mostly the fact that I have not blogged here in awhile, so Angel has been carrying most of the weight around here on our little blog home. Without boring you with the gory details, suffice it to say I have been up to my eyeballs is figurative crap. But through all of that, I have still been cooking and still losing weight. I stepped on the scale here at home on Friday morning while getting ready for work...are you ready for this? I weighed 166 pounds! I haven't seen anything below 170 in years. YEARS. So, again without boring you with all the details, how about a recap of all the veggie yumminess I have concocted since we last chatted? In February, I finally made my own Seitan Log O'greatness... with encouragement from Angel that it was tasty. It wasn't too bad, but I haven't rushed to make another one. Then I made this vegan bread pudding, after Angel gifted me with some vegan egg replacer. Topped with fresh strawberries and followed by a drizzle of Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar from Raimondo Winery, it's worth doing again! I finally found a way to make oatmeal that even I will eat, thanks to the Sugar Free Mom. Thanks, Mom! G'vetch, from our fave PV. Will DEFINITELY do this again...great on a chilly evening, over rice. From Herbivoracious, Rice Vermicelli (bun) with ginger grapefruit sauce. This is seriously good...no, seriously GREAT. This has so much going on and is so luscious and fresh, you will forget that it's good for you. Really. It made me moan out loud...several times. This recipe came out of the book, but if you search the site, it might be there. I'll leave that up to you. I got a microplane, and wondered how I ever cooked without one before...I mean, you don't even have to peel the ginger with one of these! How awesome is that? From PV, something I had wanted to try for awhile, and that was baking my polenta rather than cooking it on the stovetop, stirring, stirring. I will do it this way henceforth; so sayeth the Queen. And more recently, homemade Piroshki with a slaw dressed not with the usual slaw dressing, but a tasty dressing of Raimondo Winery's Organic Picual EVOO and their White Grapefruit Balsamic vinegar. Really, please go visit Raimondo's site and check them out, then place an order. You won't be disappointed. I won't get any kick-backs or anything. They just have an awesome product line. And, if ever you find yourself in Gamaliel, Arkansas, stop by around 3 p.m. for a tasting. Certainly, this is not all inclusive, but it gets you somewhat up to speed. Next month, we'll be checking cholesterol numbers again. Fingers crossed! Renee'

You have been busy! The Seitanic Log O' Greatness was my first seitan. It was probably about a year before I made it the second time, and I really find it works best for Gyros because you can peel strips off with a vegetable peeler and then sizzle them up sort of crispy. I have also used it in harrira, as the spices work well in that kind of thing.
