Day 12!

Here we are on day 12 of our adventure and personally, it is way easier then I thought. I am getting over a pretty good cold, so I felt lousy those days. But J feel great. And I am feeling much better.

Let talk food!! We had lots of yumminess last week. I made a yummy stirfry with tofu and veggies, which is great when you need soemthing quick for dinner. LAst night I made an amazing pumpkin ginger bisque, with some tweaking. Since it is pumpkin season here, I bought a pumpkin from our local farmstand and roasted it myself. I did this because, it really is easy and I REALLY love  roasted pumpkin seeds.I didn't have cider so I just added a peeled diced apple int he mix, and I used Vegetable stock insterad of chicken stock of course. The seeds I roasted with a little salt, paprika and garlic powder...and I forgot to share those with J.

Along with that we had my favorite Barefoot Contessa sandwiches. Which I am not a big fan of roasted peppers in a jar, but if I can roast them and marinate them, sign me up. Way worth the effort.

Also, a big hit with my whole family (parents and sister included) were Veggie Num-Nums Eggplant Balls. These too are easy to make, they take a bit of time, but are really really good. I did bake them, or try to, but J believe Balls, meat or otherwise need to be fried. So he fried them in a pan. If you do this I recommend baking them a little bit so they hold together a little better. He also mentioned squeezing out excess moisture before adding the binding ingredients to help them hold better together. He is the master at frying. I...am not. The 4 I tried just fell apart in mush (but they were still so good.)

What else? Oh on Sunday we had a pizza party with family. No one missed the meat free toppings, But I don't think anyone would dare complain while eating J's pizza. He makes his oen dough and cooks it on the grill and it is amazing.

Tonight I am going to attept a Coconut Curry Tofu recipe from allrecipes. I have never made a curry before so hopefully it comes out good!
