VwaV Week Cookbook Challenge

Over at the PPK, Mrsbadmouth suggested a way to use our cookbooks more. We all have them and some get used a lot and others get neglected. Or sometimes, like with Vegan with a Vengeance (the choice for the first week) there are just recipes that slip through the cracks. I committed to the 3 recipe idea and quickly found 2 that I knew I had to try. The third one was hard. I had a list of about 10. I figure I'll keep that list in the cookbook and whittle away at it one of the weeks during the challenge when I don't have the right book.

Here are the Corn Fritters. I was a moron not to make these sooner. Now the page in my cookbook has pretty little hearts drawn all over it. They're that good.

We also had the sundried tomato asparagus frittata. Another one that I knew we'd love. However, it didn't come out of the pan very prettily because I have no patience. So no picture. But....

For the last recipe, I decided to tackle the Crispy Peanut Butter Cookies. I remember how some people had a tough time with those, but of course I couldn't find that thread at the PPK when it mattered. So I just went ahead and made them. I added a Tbsp of soy milk just so I could shape them better, but otherwise followed the recipe. I kind of crumbled 2 because I tried to take them off the sheet too early, but the rest look damn good and taste even bettter!

Tomorrow we are going to Columbus....with reservations at Dragonfly. I can't wait!
