Mix boiling water and jello powder. Add vodka and pour into shot glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cheers!

G is for Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites

Yet another thing I found on Pinterest that needed to be veganized: Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites. I didn’t have the luxury of pre-made dough, so I made the gingerbread cookie recipe from Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar. I used Trader Joe’s vegan cream cheese, which I would not recommend because it’s not very white. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract to the filling, which is a nice touch. I have some dough left over, so I can make some cutout cookies this weekend. They do not look as pretty as Diane’s but they sure are tasty.

Chef H’s Vegan Adventure

20120523-075646.jpg

H started a new position this week. He now works only in the hospitals and has one out of every three weeks off. (Why did I go to law school instead of medical school?!?) With the extra time off he is going to focus on vegan cooking. Last night he made noodles (which did not live up to his expectations, but I thought they were fine), Gardein chick’n with red peppers and black bean sauce (delicious!) and spicy vegan Chinatown crab with green beans.

It looks just like chicken. I almost thought he made a separate chicken dish for himself.

Some noodles were a little dry, but H admitted he didn’t read the directions. Brown rice noodles are cooked a little differently than regular pasta. Upton’s Naturals seitan was added as the “pork.”

A whole vegan “fish.” It was interesting.
