shopping and food creations...

a couple of days ago i made this beautiful creamy pasta dish with green peas and (salmon for the boys)...unfortunately when i cook i don't measure anything...i just sort of throw things together...i wanted to post it as one of my first entries...but by the time i realized i needed a picture the dish had been gobbled up...

i know that i crushed a garlic glove and put it in a pan with some water and half of a vegan bouillon cube, i let those cook together for a few minutes, i then poured 2 drink boxes of unsweetened soy milk (i had run out of my big carton of silk) into the pan...i added about 1/2 a cup of nutritional yeast...2 tablespoons of tofutti better than cream cheese...i added a teaspoon of corn starch...and a cup of peas...i added the cream sauce to some gluten free linguine...

i also flaked some salmon steaks which i poached for my non vegan/vegetarian boyfriend and his brother...and they pretty much devoured dinner...very good feeling!

last night i made a simple pasta with broccoli rabe, olive oil, some chile flakes, and garlic. i steamed the broccoli rabe with garlic and 1/2 of a vegan bouillon cube, once it was cooked, i gave it a rough chop, threw it in a pot with some red chili flakes, two tablespoons of olive oil and some gluten free penne...and that was dinner...

i've been eating a lot of steel cut oats for breakfast...i've bought some very yummy larabars and think organic bars...

i went shopping yesterday at our local Whole Foods...and i had a blast...when i read about products i am interested in, and finally find them...the experience is one i can't really describe...i guess i can maybe compare it to meeting a celebrity?! i swear...i'm a nut bar! i finally found the chocolate dreams peanut butter that i have been reading about...and seeing pics of it on all these yummy blogs i have been reading too...that was a tough one to find. but i did...and i am sooooo happy! you have no idea how happy i am.

i'm going back to whole foods tomorrow to pick up a bunch of things...looking forward to it...this girl loves the grocery store...

hopefully i will learn how to post pics of my creations on here...and i will learn to write down my recipes!

off to meet a friend for lunch!
