Hope your's was as merry as mine!

I'm back from Mattawa/Deep River/Ottawa! I wish it could have been a longer trip, but it is nice to be home. I hope everyone had a great Christmas or holiday, I know I did. It was great to see the family.
I got some great stuff! The Candle Cafe cookbook, the Ultimate Uncheese cookbook and the simple little vegan slowcooker cookbook. If any of you have these, suggest some recipes to try, please :)













I haven't cooked lately, but I did have something different for breakie this morning. Breakfast quinoa with blueberries from La Dolce Vegan. It was pretty good. I'm planning on emptying out the freezer/fridge and pantry a bit before I make anything new, so I don't know how much I'll be cooking. But I did get a really cool chip and dip crock pot thingy that I'll have to showcase soon with a yummy dip!

Hey Melissa! Glad you had a great holiday. I'm interested in that Uncheese book and would like to get some reviews from you. I haven't been cooking a whole lot lately either. It seems like I'm working all the time.
All the best for the New Year!

I've really wanted to try more breakfast-y grains besides oatmeal, which I enjoy. The quinoa looks healthy and colorful!
Enjoy the new books - I have only made a couple thing from the uncheese book (I like the smoked gouda spread) but I adore the Candle Cafe book..

Hi Melissa,

I have the Uncheese cookbook and I've tried several recipes. My son loves the Nacho Cheese sauce - it's very good - reminiscent of Doritos. I love the Roquefort dressing too. I hope you like it.

I've been thinking about buying the candle cafe book...people seem to love it. Let us know what you think.

That quinoa looks really good. I want to start this year off by eating more grain-based breakfasts, and I've never had breakfast quinoa before!

I don't have the candle cafe cookbook, but everything I've eaten there has been good. I'd especially suggest anything they do with tempeh.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all :)
I spent New Year's watching movies with friends. The perfect low key get together.
