Holidays are awesome

So I've been lazy. Woops. Actually, not woops, I've been enjoying my last few weeks of freedom (and Cam's already started Med School, so it's been a bit crazy 'round here!).
I'm excitedly preparing for law school. I had to pick a non-law elective and, in order to be fair to the poor 18 yr olds, I decided not to do English. I'm doing French instead! I've been speaking aspirational French since I was a teenager (yes folks, that's English with a French accent).
We've got lots of food to catch up on, so here we go!
WARNING: There's lots of repeats in today's post – I don't have much of an imagination sometimes!

Spinach and Ricotta (Veganomicon Cashew Ricotta) Ravioli with (Veganomicon) Marinara Sauce:


I continued my fetish for kitchen equipment with a ravioli mold!

Isa's Pumpkin Pie Brownies (I've made these before, delicious!):

The usual fortnightly pizza:

Cam made "Chicken" and Sweet Corn Soup. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty!

Random stir fry.... I think I made this?


Apple and Sultana Muffin (bastardized recipe from Don't Eat Off The Sidewalk Vol. 1):

(Yes, I have tiny hands)
The insides were yummo!

Cam's Extra Special Tomato Soup (1 can Rosella Tomato Soup, 20 mushroom chunks (from the Asian grocer) and a can of chickpeas. You'll have to hassle him for the extra special herbs and spices!):


An army of gingerbread cuppers for Cam's last day of work:

VWAV Carrot Bisque (I was sick for about three days – this helped with my recovery):

Lower fat Pumpkin Ziti from Veganomicon (the secret is not frying the topping & just spraying the top with our fancy new non-aerosol oil spray bottle. Yes, another gadget!):

Celine(from the Have Cake, Will Travel blog of awesomeness)'s Cheezy Quackers. Note the hand of our fantastic model Kath!

There's more to come, but I might save our very special Iron Chef Vegan guest chef meal for another day!

I have been wanting to make those crackers...FOREVER. I should really stop drolling over photos of everyone elses and get my butt in gear to make my own.
Everything looks super delsih as of late. I guess I should specify, long time reader, first time message leaver.
Oh, I'm drooling over your raviolis. I should clean that up...
cheers!

and by drolling of course, I mean drooling. Apparently, I'm having a day. Oh and by delsih, I mean delish. I better go to bed...
HA

Awesome food, and enjoy your holiday while it lasts!

Aspirational french... my friends and I used to call it 'franglais'. Good luck learning proper francais!

No need to apologize for "being lazy" (you're preparing for law school, for goodness sake! haha) or for posting repeats - look at all this great food!! the pumpkin-pie brownies and the cupcakes look especially enticing - yum!!

Man, I wish I'd had the luxury of a non-legal elective when I was in law school! It was all law, all the time there. :( Good luck with it!
