The Recipe (Rerun)

Vegan Cookout Love

I just have to send a shout-out to all my fucking awesome friends and family members who are always so conscientious about veganizing the SHIT out of cookouts. You guys all rock. Seriously.

Cookout #1:

My friends Mo, Duvi, and Natalie Portman...



The menu: Veggie dogs, veggie burgers, chips & salsa, pesto pasta salad, chickpea salad, no-cook corn on the cob, and rice krispy treats, none of which are pictured here 'CAUSE WE DONE ATE THEM.

Cookout #2:

My family...






The menu: Veggie dogs, veggie burgers, pesto pasta salad, chickpea salad, fruit salad, salsa-pizza, rice krispy treats.

And finally...

Cookout #3:

At the KS family household...






The menu: Veggie dogs & veggie burgers (courtesy of the KS's), pesto pasta salad, avocado-corn salad (courtesy of my LLP), caprese salad (courtesy of the Jilly Bean), rice krispy treats, banana-dessert-cake stuff + buckeye bars + oreo chocolate (all courtesy of the KS's), peanut butter cookies (courtesy of my LLP).

I seriously am blessed.

Favorite Summer Quickie...

Not counting that of the wink-wink nudge-nudge variety:


Lightly fried tofu, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, slathered
in pesto-mayo and stacked atop ciabatta.
