Have you tried any of these recipes? (if so, have any favorites?)… and, what plant-powered dishes are YOU cooking up this weekend? 😀

Dreena, In July, my husband and I went on an Artic expedition to look for Polar Bears and I was worried that I might not be able to find any vegan food up there. I just have to tell you that I brought a bag full of your Cocoa Cookie Dough Balls and they were a lifesaver!!! They are full of yummy nutrients and held up perfectly for the full 3 weeks! There were times up there when all there was to eat was fish and dairy . . . so, Dreena to the rescue!! Thanks so much!!
Dreena says
Oh wow, Laurie!! That is mighty cool, I can now say that my Cocoa Cookie Dough Balls have been on an Arctic expedition! – I haven’t, but close enough. 😉 I find they keep well too – great to know they helped you out in a rather unvegan eating environment!! Fun story, thanks so much. 🙂

We’re having the Winter Vegetable Pot Pie and I just churned out a batch of Kids Dynamo Hummus from EDBV (my fave!).
Also I made your Proper Healthy Granola bars yesterday – I love how not-too-sweet they are. My little guys likes them too (though he did end up with many crumbles, many places :)) I subbed raw buckwheat (soaked and dried) for the rice crisps – worked a treat.
Oh yeah, we also had Corn Quinoa chowder Casserole a few nights ago. Everyone loves that one. Seriously thinking about making the Berry Patch brownies (again!) – I truly dream about those.
Dreena says
You’ ve been busy, Emma! What a great idea using raw buckwheat instead of the rice crisps – bumps up the nutritional profile, and probably a little crunchier too! Those Berry Patch Brownies have become a ‘hot’ recipe – have several friends on twitter that make them often too. Thanks so much, really glad you are getting good mileage out of LTEV… now back to dreaming… 🙂

Awesome! Thanks for sharing more recipes. My favorite recipe (so far) is the lemon Mediterranean lentil salad. I just made the orange lentil soup with coriander and star anise and thought it was fabulous, too. 🙂
BTW, when I made the jerk chickpeas, they were definitely saucy, not pasty.
Dreena says
You’re welcome – thanks for that, Janet. And, good to know about the Jerk Chickpeas. Sometimes canned chickpeas are more moist than chickpeas you cook from home too – that could be part of the equation too. Thanks again!
Dreena says
Hi Jenna, it should be moist – not saucy as such – but certainly moist and not dried out. Did you bake it covered for the first while, do you remember? If you make it again, you can try adding a tbsp or two of water, esp if you didn’t add any oil. Hope that helps some!
Jenna Z says
I’ve made the jerk chickpeas and they tasted great but mine turned out kind of dry. Not sure what went on there. My marinade was less sauce-y and more paste-y so it went on kind of dry.
