Last Few days

. . . Saturday night we went out for my birthday and a few people met at my house before hand which gave me the opportunity to test out some more vegan recipes one of which is pumpkin bread (from The Kind Diet) . . . ok well it didn't turn out THAT great it TASTED undercooked actually people only tried the one on the right but the one with almonds on top actually doesn't taste that bad .

I also made sangria. I put strawberries and black berries (1st bowl), peaches and pears (2nd bowl) and lemon and limes (3rd bowl) I REALLY wanted to put pomegranate in it too but you have know idea how hard it is to find it on Fraser Street but I did have pomegranate TEA and I steeped that for a bit and added it in . . . lame I know. Then I added 7up or was it sprite (one of the two)

TONIGHT I decided to try making my own pesto sauce. I gotta say it was pretty successful, fun and fast. I used basil leaves, pine nuts, a little bit of almond nuts, salt, pepper, and garlic.


I then scooped out some mushrooms added some pesto . . . .
topped it off with some veggie meat . . .
put them in the oven for a bit and added it to a bowl of barley. They are filling mushrooms. It was fun . . . and I'm done.

I realized I need to do some ACTUAL crafts as fun as all this cooking is . . .i need to getting my hands on some paper, glue, pens . . . artsy fartsy stuff.
