Christmas break is over! 7 recipes cooked

Here they are with my ratings: Cauliflower Marranca pg 78 V++
Texas caviar salsa pg 202 V++
Gratin of Young Artichokes pg96 V-
Wild Mushroom Spread pg 9 V+++
Chickpea Roasted Pepper and Rosemary Spread pg 3 V+
Holiday delight punch pg 4 V++
Gazpacho with mashed Avocado pg 36 V++

These recipes were all great for the most part except the Gratin of artichoke. This might have been good but the artichokes I used must have been to old so it was like chewing on sharp fish bones or chicken bones. As a vegan, if you miss that sort of bone picking then I recommend it. I will definitely try this one again with artichoke hearts or baby artichokes which are extremely hard to find!

You have to try the mushroom spread. It is awesome. I would recommend spreading it on the bagette rounds and serving it warm. Delicious!

  1. Missing your posts. Excited about you coming to the Bangor event. It will be a blessed time. Can't wait to see you and spend some quality time together. Why don't you come early and we can meet at the Bagel shop for breakfast and make a day of it. We can do dinner afterwards.

  2. What has happened to your posts? I am missing them and keeping up with what is going on in your life. SO sorry we missed our visit. I was really bummed. We were all packed up and got to the cleaners and they were closed. So we went out to eat (all dressed up and nowhere to go) and went home. Back to the cleaners in the am and on to Danvers MA for the Amway Convention. Some exciting news to tell you. Give me a call when you have a chance. Hugs!
