3 for 1 Birthday

This year it happens that I'm celebrating turning 22 three times! I had my surprise party last week and today I had dinner with my family, since my dad is out of town later this week. Plus I'll be going out with friends on the actual day. Dinner tonite was so good, and everyone loved it! I decided to make the Gigi sauce I blogged about before, since I know its good and didn't have to worry about any kitchen disasters. We had it with whole wheat rotini, some broccoli and some delicious and simple garlic bread made with Earth Balance and garlic powder.

But the real winner for me was dessert!! New York style cheesecake from Sinfully Vegan, which we topped off with a strawberry sauce. It was hard not going back for seconds. Mmmm mmmm. So creamy and so authentic, everyone enjoyed some of this. Its really rich though. A 9" cake makes 16 servings (or less if you want), but that sliver of heaven will cost you about 400 calories ;)

Billy and I had a great lunch for today. I made the Chicken and Rice Soup from La Dolce Vegan. If you have LDV, make this soup. Its quick and delicious. Billy ate all my leftovers that I wanted for tomorrow! It tastes just like that soup you crave when you get a cold. It has little pieces of seitan in it, but they cook up with the soup in 15 minutes, so there's no hassle.
