soup & sandwich

Now that it's officially autumn, we can bust out hearty meals. This soup, Kathleen's Mom's Tortilla Chip Soup, is a recipe from La Dolce Vegan. It's the first time we've tried it. We modified it slightly (by adding extra black beans) but kept the full amount of chili. It was very good. Especially for my currently ill hubby.

The sandwiches are made with vegenaise, dijon mustard, spinach, cucumber, tomato, avocado, and Field Roast slices) with Tings and picle spears on the side.

Very hearty.

snobby joes & tater tots

We thought we'd try the Snobby Joe recipe, from Veganomicon. Mark baked the buns from scratch. We added slices of vegan rice cheese on top of the open-faced joes, with a side of baked tater tots.

It was okay. Very lentil-y.

celebration cupcakes

Technically, these are the Basic Chocolate Cupcakes with Fluffy Buttercream Frosting, from VCTOTW. The red & blue sugar sprinkles and the fact that Barack Obama was elected President-elect are what makes them "celebration" cupcakes.
