Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

On the menu this weekend

My in-laws were visiting us this weekend and I have to say that they are good sports and are willing to try my vegan dishes every time they are here. Here are some of the home cooked vegan meals I made while they were here...

  • banana waffles and vegan sausage
  • potato-leek soup (from the Candle Cafe cookbook--this recipe continues to amaze me because all it consists of is vegetables and a little salt and pepper and it is so tasty!)
  • vegetable lasagne with tofu ricotta 
  • vegan pumpkin muffins
  • chocolate-chocolate chip cookies (from Veganomicon--always delicious!)
  • Purely Decadent Turtle Trails ice cream 

In addition to the homemade food, we went out to eat a couple times, including to BRGR, a burger place in Prairie Village which also happens to have a killer veggie burger and sweet potato fries. We also had lunch at one of our staples, Noodles and Company. This place is great because you can order your noodles with whatever protein you choose and one of their choices is tofu. Yay! It was a yummy weekend of eating vegan!
