Wow! Just wow! Let me explain-

What?? Another savory post? and it's not even bakery. I know- but this was so amazing I had to share.
I've always wanted to make a cassoulet. I even have a recipe from an old Gourmet magazine that calls for lamb shank, duck, sausage and bacon. Oh, well, shoulda made it before going vegan, huh?
But no- Robin to the rescue! No not the boy wonder Robin. I'm talking about Robin Robertson who wrote 1,000 Vegan Recipes.  I was lucky enough to be a recipe tester for the book and I knew there was some good stuff in there. But then the other day this recipe caught my eye:  Three Bean Cassoulet.

This was so simple to put together- but is easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Ever. Seriously. You can't even imagine.

When it was almost done, I checked it and was disappointed by the way it looked. Just a bunch of beans with some red liquid. But after the breadcrumbs went on top and baked a little more- magic happened!

The pics aren't the best, but trust me- delish!

Savory Baking ~ "Chickn" Pot Pie

Not that I get tired of the sweet stuff- but sometimes warm + delicious = savory!

I took a few recipes I read online and kept what I liked from each- and the result was divine.

Here is the filling- Gardein scallopini, onions, potato, and mixed veggies.

And just out of the oven

Just look at that warm goodness inside-

I will be making this again real soon.

Balsamic Fudge Cookies

I've been wanting to try these cookies for a while- and tonight I'm going to dinner at a friend's house who is trying to eat fat free. The recipe is here:

I made the fat free version and Oh my!
There is no way these rich fudgy cookies taste fat free! Actually I had no soy yogurt so I subbed "sour cream" and a splash of almond milk-  so there is a tiny bit of fat. Especially when you eat 3!

Engagement Cupcakes

Congratulations to my nephew Steve and his new fiance Karen! I know I'm a little late in posting this- but it's the thought that counts, right? Wishing you both a lifetime of love and laughter. And treats.

Tami's Cookies

These cookies are fantastic! Many thanks to Tami of Vegan Appetite for the recipe. She is a wonderful vegan cook who has a new cookbook coming out soon. You can pre-order American Vegan Kitchen on amazon.com  I was lucky enough to be tester and got to preview some excellent recipes- including the cookies pictured above. These cookies made my brother into a believer in vegan baked goods. He wouldn't try some of the stuff I baked because it might have tofu in it or something. But when he saw these he couldn't resist. I think he ate a dozen himself! They're that good.
