Live Delicious!

 

The lovely company Book Pub Co. that has sent me some cookbooks to review has just started up a very awesome “LIVE DELICIOUS” campaign.

It’s focused on transitioning into a vegan lifestyle or just adding more plant based foods into your life…

First Check out this video…

 

While I don’t eat vegan, I do try to introduce lots of plant based goodies into my diet and try to eat as healthy as possible too!!

And I really like what Book Pub Co is doing with this campaign… if nothing else, these cookbooks have great new ideas for becoming healthier!

I think that everyone should pay attention to their body and eat accordingly!

On my plate…

I’m so glad you guys enjoyed our engagement story!!  It was a good day!!

Yesterday on my facebook page – I let everyone know that we were making perogies for dinner!! I got a bunch of inquiring messages regarding these delicious doughy goodness!!

Warning, the pictures ARE NOT pretty – because it was so dark, I had to use what light I could find.

I followed Meg’s recipe that she tweeted to me!   But for the filling I did potatoes with roasted garlic, pepper and nooch!  And Dave did potatoes with cheese and bacon.

I made BIG MASSIVE ones and tiny little  wee ones

I fried them up and ate them as is… nothing fancy, nothing exciting but they were AMAZING!!

Totally worth the effort,  although I’m glad we made 2 batches, so I have a ton of left overs!

Up next,  I’ve had a MAJOR craving for Caesar salad.

Funny, because I never liked it before going dairy free – but now I crave it!!

CAESAR SALAD Dressing (Raw?/Vegan)

makes 2 servings

For the dressing – I tossed all this into the Vitamix;

3 Tbsp cashews

1 tbsp Nooch (nutritional yeast)

1 clove garlic

1/2 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp braggs

1tbsp evoo

2 tbsp water

salt to taste.

Blend up and toss with salad…

I added some extra nooch on top, and some homemade croutons

It was VERY garlicly and VERY good!!  I will be making it again for sure.

Ok… what’s next?   Oooh I still haven’t given you my mushroom risotto  - I guess you’ll have to wait again!

I also made some of “Almost as good as Nan’s” Pea Soup! 

topped with some of my new favorite snack

So good!  SO addicting!

Ok your turn… what did you eat that was good this weekend?

How do you cook your perogies? 

Have you tried a raw/vegan salad dressing before?

Hope your week is fantabulous! (funny that didn’t come up in spell check)!
