It was my youngest daughter’s birthday yesterday – she turned 14. She likes to think that now she is officially a teenager, as 13 was just too close to being a “tween.” She requested a strawberry-lemonade birthday cake for her party and a spaghetti bar, complete with vegan meatballs and homemade sauce. She got all three.
If you are interested in seeing just exactly what a “strawberry-lemonade”
cake might look like, I have it posted on my facebook page here. Holler for the
recipe – I’m happy to share.
Since her birthday week menu officially ended yesterday,
having consisted of "healthful" fare such as vegan pups in a blanket, pizza,
vegan broccoli cheese soup (this actually being the better of her choices!),
vegan shamrock shake and other cookies and sweets, I decided to make something for lunch today that was full of veggies, as it was woefully lacking
this past week.
For lunch today we had Indonesian Stir-Fried Noodles with
baby kale, cabbage and broccoli. A very fast and easy dish to toss together in
under 30 minutes even if you have to cook the pasta first; just chop the
veggies while the water boils.
On a separate note, I have recently discovered vegan recipe parties that a few
blogs are hosting and since this was a delicious, easy and healthy meal, I have
decided to enter this recipe. The blogs hosting Healthy Vegan Fridays are Suzanne at Hello Veggie, Anna at Herbivore Triathlete, and Kimmy at Rock My Vegan Socks.
I’ve also decided to submit this dish to What I Ate Wednesday hosted by Peas and Crayons since, well, it is Wednesday and all!
Finally, to wrap things up and leave no string unattached,
today is the day to announce the winner of One-Dish Vegan by Robin Robertson.
Her new book features such completely amazing meals such as …., … and ….. If
you weren’t lucky enough (and I am so so sorry about that!) to win my copy, I
encourage you to get one anyway; it is a really great book, with creative and
wonderfully tasty meals. Since I've made around 30 or so recipes from it, I know!
The winner of Robin’s book is comment number: 25 by Timi Caswell.
