Rustic crusty bread.
With dry cranberries and walnuts.
Love this bread.
So easy to make and it always turns out great.
As a base I use the “Boule” recipe from “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day” https://www.amazon.com/Artisan-Bread-Five-Minutes-Revolutionizes-ebook/dp/B000XPNUPY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=artisan+bread+in+five+minutes+a+day&qid=1591740307&s=books&sr=1-2 .
I’ve made bread, different variations, with this recipe as a base many many times, and it always turns out great.
Pizza!!
I have some idea of when pizza is appropriate to cook or eat, but at our house it always makes my husband happy, so I try to make it as often as possible.
That means we eat pizza in the morning quite a bit too.
Tomato sauce, vegan pepperoni, vegan sausage, scrambled tofu, onion, curly endive, cheese sauce, and black pepper.
I had strong craving for eggplant, and after contemplating Chinese take-out for a week, I decided to make an eggplant dish myself.
It’s not always easy to find fresh eggplant, but I was lucky as I was able to find a beautiful plump smooth-skinned one.
I would typically pair eggplant with ground meat for a dish like this.
I thought about using seitan ground “meat” but at the last minute I thought it would be fun to use walnuts instead.
It turned out great!
Eggplant goes well with tomatoes, but it’s also great with miso, especially when miso is slightly (or a lot, which I prefer personally) sweetened.
You can use any type of miso, but I like to use Haccho (very dark one) miso which is the local popular type in the region where I’m from.

Since my first vegan canelé https://sideb.culinarytribune.com/2020/05/09/vegan-canele/ was so successful, I decided to make some again.
This time I added earl grey flavor, and these turned out delicious!
I try not to make too many, because we can’t stop eating these.
So good!
As with my first one, I used https://highteasociety.com/recipe/vegan-canele-recipe/ as a base recipe.
This is not only vegan but also gluten-free as it does not use flour.

This is a sandwich I made last weekend.
Homemade seed bagel, avocado, homemade vegan sausage, turmeric tofu steak, tomato slices, cheesy mayo (not on it yet), and curly endive.
This is the final result.
Served with spinach olive blueberry salad.
This was so good!

I had beautiful fresh cherries, raspberries, and blueberries, and I wanted to enjoy them while they were perfectly ripe.
But I didn’t want to make any dessert, and I decided to put them on pizza.
Pizza crust (slightly adapted from https://sugarspunrun.com/the-best-pizza-dough-recipe/); I just mix everything together and only let it rise for a half hour, but it turned out great. The best pizza crust ever!
1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup bread flour, 2 and 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, a couple of pinches of kosher salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 cup warm water. Cooked at 400F.
Pizza crust, homemade vegan cream cheese, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, toasted almond slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

I’ve been a carb monster!
I crave pasta, more specifically homemade pasta, a lot lately.
I’ve been using the same recipe many many times.
Take a look at this post, https://sideb.culinarytribune.com/2019/05/27/homemade-pastaホームメードパスタ/ for the recipe if you are interested.
I could just it the freshly cooked homemade pasta, sautéed with salt and pepper.
It’s just so good!
First my vegan Bolognese sauce goes in.
And cherries go in.

The rhubarb season has arrived, which makes me happy.
This time of the year my mother-in-law always invites me to her backyard to “harvest” rhubarb.
So last weekend I visited her wearing a mask and got several stalks.
I wanted to showcase the beautiful pink color of the rhubarb, and with this cake I think I succeeded.
Isn’t this ruby color pretty?
This cake was so moist and delicious.
I also enjoyed it with oat milk yogurt.

I can’t be the only one that enjoys bagels with cream cheese.
I’ve made vegan cream cheese several times, but I think this is the best-tasting one.
I used the https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-cream-cheese/ ‘s recipe as a base, and added about 2 tablespoons of firm tofu and 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil.
This is the best, taste and texture-wise, when served cold.
Coffee bagel, cream cheese, and Okinawa “black” sugar syrup.
This cream cheese is really just like the dairy version, if not better.
Time to make more bagels!

Bagel is the kind of bread that I forget about for many years, and then when I eat it again, I ask myself why I don’t eat it more often.
And surprisingly, it’s easy and fast (about 30 minutes) to make, although there is an extra step (boiling) in the process.
