Supreme Pizza

I decided to try the vegan sausage I’ve been making recently on pizza. It was really good. I use the recipe here minus the tarragon and with the addition of 1 tsp of sage. I form in to patties, brown the patties and break it up in to crumbles. Store bought crust and Daiya mozzarella.

A Trio Of Taco Types

For taco tuesday I made 3 different tacos. All served on flour “street” sized shells.

Green Tomato Curry

A friend gave us a few green tomatoes and an assortment of green peppers. I wasn’t sure what to do with the tomatoes and decided to try them in a curry.

I diced the tomatoes, chopped the peppers and cooked in a pan along with red onion. I then added a can of chickpeas, a can of coconut milk and a Tbsp of curry powder and dried basil. Was really good.
