A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate.  I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them...  and then all the usual stuff I do.  Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week.  So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods, to try Tanya's new Reuben.  It is AMAZING!  Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet.

For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more.  Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook, she's got one of those too.

Oh, you wrote he's your little sous chef, sorry I missed that last sentence. Vegan kids are the cutest.

Oh cool, Elise. Do you post them somewhere? Mine's kind of boring and I've been looking for a new one.
I just tweeted about how much I love Native Foods. :) Sadly, I only get to eat there the few times we are in LA. I wish she would come to the bay! I love her cookbook, I give it as gifts to inspire people to eat more yummy vegan food.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice.  It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet.  I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice.  And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1.  Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2.  Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3.  Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Elise's Baby Bella Mushroom Stroganoff

I think that we all have a handful of recipes that are our time tested favorites.  This is one of mine.  My mom made Beef Stroganoff for us when we were kids, so this is one of those recipes that emotes home and comfort and warmth and love.  I craved it when I was pregnant with all three of my kiddies... even when I was sick!  The truth is, it always sounds good to me.  So here is a culinary hug from my kitchen to yours.  ENJOY! Ingredients 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, washed and sliced 1 yellow onion, halved and sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cube Edwards & Sons Not Beef Bouillon + 1 cup boiling water 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 teaspoon ground mustard 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water, mixed 1/3 cup tofu 'sour cream' Directions 1.  Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat and saute the onions, garlic and mushrooms for 10  minutes. 2.  Ad...
