2nd Avenue Vegetable Korma

I’m really excited about VeganMoFo this year! I have lots of things I want to share that I just didn’t have time to over the last few months due to having a brand new baby. Now that he’s 4 months old and napping regularly and Reno is back in preschool I think I might actually I have time to blog again! Of course though as I’m typing this out Miles has decided that he needs attention. Typical!

Anyway…I’m still in love with Isa’s cookbook Appetite For Reduction. I’m still making the Everyday Chickpea Salad all the time. I bring it to potlucks and I made it for Reno’s birthday party. Another favorite recipe of mine is the 2nd Avenue Vegetable Korma. I love Indian food. If I could I would get Indian take out a few times a week. That’s expensive though so I don’t. It’s also full of oil and fattening. So I’m thrilled that there is a Korma recipe in this book. I’m also thrilled that it is delicious. Its full of delicious veggies, curry and coconut milk. What more can you ask for? I’ll tell ya…its even more delicious the next day after all the flavors get to sit and meld together overnight in the fridge!

Everyday Chickpea-Quinoa Salad

I think I have a new favorite cookbook and it’s called Appetite For Reduction. I love all things Isa and I think this might be my all time favorite Isa cookbook. I simply want to make every recipe in this book. Everything sounds so good and looks so easy to make. I’ve only had a chance to make 3 or 4 recipes so far from the book and they have all been delicious. The first recipe I made was the Everyday Chickpea-Quinoa Salad.  I pre-cooked some red quinoa the night before so I had it all ready too make this salad for lunch the next day. By having the quinoa ready this recipe came together in a flash. You slice some red onions, chop some romaine and drain and rinse a can of chickpeas and mix it all together with the quinoa. Then you make the recipe for the Balsamic Vinaigrette, which I am a huge fan of, and then mix it all together and serve. We devoured this salad and then again the next day because it keeps so well in the fridge for a few days.

For me the best part of this salad was the recipe for the Balsamic Vinaigrette. I love that Isa uses cashews in the recipe. It gives the dressing such a nice creaminess. I want to put it on everything.
