365 days of dinner: Jan. 9-10, 2009

January 11th, 2009 at 05:15 pm

Friday night I made Penne Vodka from the Veganomicon cookbook. (Penne again--I'm seeing a real trend in my diet!) We had some more of the whole-wheat focaccia.



The recipe uses fresh basil and is really rich and flavorful. We had extra basil and were going to use it the next night, but it had already wilted. Stupid basil! The creaminess comes from almonds instead of a dairy product.

Anyway, we didn't mind at all because we had plenty of toppings for our next meal--pizza! AS makes a great crust with half whole-wheat, half white flour, and NT makes the sauce out of tomato paste and spices because it's WAY cheaper than the packaged stuff. We used all sorts of toppings--onion, green pepper, vegan pepperoni, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers, corn, olives, artichoke hearts...I think that's all. Smile We had guests, so we made a lot of individual pizzas with the toppings tailored to taste.
