Wandering Adventure Party

Thank you!

It’s really good in this recipe, I’ve not tried it on pizza but I like the idea!

OG recipe PaleoSpirit

This recipe was foundational to when I first changed my diet to plant based 15 or so years ago. I don’t like cream cheese, but I love artichokes and spinach. Cashew cream is a great alternative, and adds in protein.

Do I add a bit of cheese at the end? Fancy high quality cheese? Maybe. Maybe I like a little asiago mixed in. Maybe I added some from the block parmesan to it this batch, sure did (asiago is better in this I think, but don’t have any rn). I go heavy on crushed red pepper as well, add it at the beginning so it infuses with the olive oil.

I do like to have it served at the recipe suggests, with cucumber. When it’s warm and you have it with fresh cool cucumbers it’s so very good. One of my favorite foods here, even if it’s not much to look at. Something I don’t have to feel guilty about eating.

I devided it, one tray for later, and one tray to be baked for 25 minutes at 350°F and look how beautifully it browned!

Yeah seems pretty easy to make a home, probably will so I can swap the canola oil for olive. Spicier than I expected, but very good.

Usually just do lemon juice with olive oil, nice to have something different on the salad.

I was just thinking on it actually, She mentioned she does most of the prep the night before. Next year I’m going to offer to go over and help with that I think. She does do such a lovely job, it’s a lot of veggies, and this way I can still help. I was able to load dishes today and helped a few things. As long as I’m helping in some way yeah?

Fresh cranberry sauce is my favorite, this looks bangin

My husband’s family never wants anyone to bring anything. Many are vegan/gf and I don’t know what to bring ever.

I hate it, I want to bring something. I’ve always wanted to host, but I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon.

That’s a lovely combo!

That’s amazing! Holy moly! Fantastic

I really love this!

Brilliant!

I purchased them during a macrons hyper fixation, absolutely one of the best kitchen purchases to make!

Interesting combo. I can only guess as to what a blond ale would taste like, but it does sound an interesting combo. Must pair well if you’ve coined a new name!

You are so right about this. Why is it so painful to be organized this way!?

Honestly, you’re on to something, that would be fire fire

Original Recipe: Post Punk Kitchen

I like that this recipe is vegan, however in my alterations I sub the maple syrup for honey, as I usually have it on hand over maple syrup. It works well with the flavor profile I think. Today, I added 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder to the recipe, and did a quarter teaspoon each cayenne and hatch green chili powder.

I think these are one of my favorite cookies. I’ve probably been making them a decade, glad the recipe is still up, one of these days I’ll write it down.

I love cabbage rolls!

We found some carolina reaper powder. It’s like cayenne pepper but for calorina reapers. Also ran into hatch green chili pepper for the first time. That’s cool you can get dried whole reapers though, little jealous

That’s similar to the shaping/baking technique used here, but this dough does contain some baking powder. I just love how nearly all humans have had some sort if culinary “stuff it into pastry” type dish.

For empanadas, you’re to roll out the dough into a circle, and place the filling inside, closing them up by folding them in half, and pinching the edges down, then to be fried or baked. My dough was not able to be rolled so this worked. This woman inspires me often, she made a proper dessert empanada here, if you’re interested in learning Mexican cooking: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IzLr6wBQzC8

I understand a small amount of spanish, not enough to communicate, but her skills are solid and easy to learn from.

Oh thats fun to learn about! Blending different regional cuisines is sort of my signature round here, love this, they look tasty!

Don’t look half bad out of the oven! I’d have it! Looks seasoned well
