VeganMoFo - catchup!

Say hello to my little friend
EAR would like to welcome his new little nameless friend.  Anyone got any suggestions?  I think she's the cutest one I've made yet (I have a crab in pieces, but reading case law seems a little more important right now!).
But here's more exciting stuff.... Food!!!
Big sandwich
Mmmmmmmmm gargantuan sandwich.........
Pizza Scrolls
Bittersweet's Pizza Scrolls with VCON cashew ricotta.  Yummo!
mmmmmm blt
BTLT (Bacon Tofu, Lettuce and Tomato).  Can you tell EAR wants to run away with it?
Let's fight over the tofu salad
EAR and the new toy are fighting over who gets to be in the picture! Tee hee.....
Hey guys,
I have exams in two weeks, so this is going to be my last post for a while.  Cam, on the other hand has already finished exams (grrrrr) so I'm handing over to him.  So here's my final catchup before my last exam in November!!!
Amy out.....

We followed all that spice with Spiky cupcakes!

They were the Toasted Coconut ones from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World topped with Chocolate Buttercream.  I made too much icing (on purpose).  Oh the joy of raiding the fridge for icing!!!!

Marinated grilled tofu salad with ginger miso dressing - Salad Bonanza part 2


This one was made by marinating firm tofu in a ginger tamari marinade & grilling. Salad contains 'Asian' lettuce leaves (it comes from Woolworths - how authentic can it be???), grape tomatoes sliced in half (I HATE it when tomatoes explode in your mouth!!) and sliced capsicum. Dressing was made with miso, ginger, sesame oil, mirin and sesame seeds. It looked really cool after cooking - the colour of BBQ pork (or at least, what I remember chinese BBQ pork looked like). Recipe is from a cookbook called "Cool meals" (I think - a friend gave me a ton of recipes from this one). Email me at amytuite "at" hotmail "dot" com to get recipe - happy to help!!! So Tasty.
I'm trying out a new system of rating the recipes....
It gets 5/5 - how about 5 happy free and alive chickens!!! (No, that's lame!!!) Will try to find a good one!

'Chicken' salad - Salad Bonanza part 1



This is an ultra simple 'chicken' salad, made with: lettuce, cucumber, carrot, semi-dried tomatoes (from deli @ supermarket), Cheezly (from health food store) and 'chicken' nuggets (from Burlington supermarket in Fortitude Valley - Chinatown Mall). I've added a bit of NoFat Italian Dressing (I think it's Praise brand). Tasty!!
