enchiladas

It was Mikel's day to cook and he made enchiladas. It seems he is very fond of Mexican food! He did a kick-butt job! He cooked the beans and onion and some chilies. He added some Daiya and Follow Your Heart, made some chili sauce and baked it like a casserole.

I made some wonderful greens with yellow squash, fennel and grape tomatoes to accompany the dish.

Happy Fourth of July! Vegan BBQ - no it is not an oxymoron! We had a fabulous cook-out making Chicago Dogs, Corn on the cob and Incrediburgers from American Vegan Kitchen by Tamasin Noyen. It holds together incredibly well on the grill and is incredibly tasty! All the kids love it, to boot. I also made my American potato salad, inspired by Julia Child who was inspired by a lady named Rosie. Now it is vegan and delicious. The secret to making tasty potato salad is marinating the still warm potato slices in the cider vinegar and vegetable broth before adding the veganaise.

No cost breakdown because we made a lot of food :0
