Spinach And Ricotta Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

- by The Oven Mits

I need to think of some new words besides 'delicious' to describe some of this food! I made this a while ago so I don't remember too much about why I decided to make it or anything, all I remember is that it was really really good!!!

(Vegan) Mac & "Cheese"

- by The Health Nut

So this is a vegan recipe that I altered & modified (and ended up making it non-vegan) until it was to my liking. It's for mac and cheese but I recommend not calling it that because it creates unrealistic expectations. If you make it thinking it will taste like cheese, you will be very disappointed (not that it tastes bad). It's actually really good and a much healthier alternative to real mac and cheese.

Masala Omelette

- by The Oven Mits

Caution: be warned that your apartment will smell like masala/garlic for days after making this dish...... but it is worth it!! So I made this for brunch for me and The Soul Mit (lol - obviously The Dark Chocolate came up with that). We were in a more savory mood and he lovessss Indian food, so I thought I would try this out!

Sweet Potato Stuffed Zucchini

- by The Oven Mits

Yes, it is another sweet potato recipe. I'm not totally sure where the obsession came from. But it's fun so far! I had made a mexican stuffed zucchini over winter break and was really craving it a couple weeks ago. I looked in the fridge though and had no beans! Also, it was super cold/snowy out and not worth going all the way to get a can... so I looked up other stuffed zucchini recipes. I found this one and it looked perfect!

Sweet Potato Stir-Fry

-by The Oven Mits

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

- by The Dark Chocolate

So I don't really have the chance to make too many desserts anymore.  If I made anything, I would be the only one eating it and then I would get diabetes.  Therefore I really like it when I have a reason to make a dessert for someone else, and that's what birthdays are for! So when I saw this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies, I just knew I had to make it, and luckily someone's birthday was coming up!

- by The Coco Nut

Eggless Quiche

- by The Vegan

Yesterday The Health Nut came over for dinner and we tried our hand at vegan quiche. Here's where I found the recipe: http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/2010/05/04/sos-kitchen-challenge-for-may-and-another-eggy-vegan-recipe/ I haven't had quiche in years, and I liked it before my vegan days so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

- by The Dark Chocolate

So I didn't even know what Gnocchi was until last year. I don't think I'd even heard of it until The Oven Mits told me about some amazing gnocchi she had in Vancouver, and even then I thought it was just some sort of pasta so I wasn't that interested in trying it. But when I learned that gnocchi was actually potato that was made to look like pasta, I was fascinated, and have always wanted to try it.
