Recipes I want to make

Here's a list of links that I've been collecting (leaving windows open in my web browser--some have been open most of the summer). I keep wanting time to try new recipes and blog about them, but I haven't had time! June and July were very busy with work and teaching, then we had a vacation at the beginning of August, and then back to school.


Veggie and whole grain bowl! I make a variation of this all the time, but it's fun to see it in recipe form.

One pots are always easy, and intrigue me, but don't capture me fully after I make them.

Intriguing no-oil cornbread

Grown up cookies! These look good!

Then I just saw this one...
http://thevegan8.com/2014/08/07/bbq-pesto/ 
and I think it led to this one....

and then I got the idea of making home made BBQ sauce... this recipe isn't vegan, but it could be!

'cause I might need it if I make homemade BBQ: vegan worcestershire sauce. (And because worcestershire is so much fun to say as you type!)

I really, really want to make this. In fact, I'm going to try, today! I have the cashews soaking but I need to get cheesecloth.

& I found this looking for more ideas around vegan cheese.

& along the same theme...

Maybe my vegan friend, Patti, will make this one with me!  We need a cooking day!

Looks fab, but only 3 of us would like it so it has to go to the bottom of the list.

Maybe for a pot luck someday

I definitely need to make pesto! I'm going to substitute pine nuts in though.

Looks super yum.

I want to try the carmel, 'cept I don't like coconut so I'll have to substitute/modify.

A slightly different black bean dip than we make.

Both look interesting and fun, but the top one looks better than the bottom one, to me.

Not a recipe, but pretty tasty

And now I can shut lots of windows in my web browser! Yay!

August Post

All month, I've been trying to find a moment to blog. I have been unsuccessful. We had a lovely 10-day vacation at the beginning of the month. I had hoped to blog during that down time, but a vacation, where one isn't cooking at all, and one isn't eating very health foods doesn't make fodder for a healthy food blog.

I will tell you that the trick I used to make sure the girls ate some healthy stuff each day. Each day, I made the girls an Amazing Green Chocolate shake mixed with soy milk. Not as good as homemade Momba I at least knew they got a little good stuff.

Okay. Now that I have one post done I'm going to take some time this holiday weekend and put links in to all the recipes I have collected over this busy summer that I want to try.
