Chinese-Style Chicken Balls With Sweet and Sour Sauce

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Another awesome recipe Kitten! I made this with my sister and brother in law and they thought it was fantastic, as did I. I had mine sauce on a vegan stir fry and skipped the chicken but they both raved about the batter. Thanks — KristinV Nov 18, 2009

Quinoa and Mushroom Skillet

Posted by Vino Girl  

I really enjoyed this. As with others, this was my first foray into quinoa. What an awesome grain! This was very 'fried rice' -esque and I can imagine it would be fantastic loaded up with vegetables. Thanks for the recipe Vino Girl — KristinV Nov 2, 2009

Garlic & Rosemary Roast Vegetables

Posted by Um Safia  

These were really good vegetables! I got about 15 parsnips for $1 and I knew instantly that I wanted to roast some of them because, lets face it, there isn't much better than a roasted parsnip I had to use dried rosemary as opposed to fresh but... — KristinV Oct 25, 2009

Simple Red Lentil Dhal

Posted by Gingernut  

This recipe was a fantastic base for many flavourings but by itself, it was just a little bland for my family. We jazzed it up with a tbs of curry powder and a tin of kidney beans. — KristinV Sep 23, 2009

Tibetan Lentil Soup

I am so annoyed that I made this after dinner because I would have loved to have a whole bowl now! I had a couple of spoonfuls and loved it. I can just tell this is one of those recipes that is going to taste even better the next day too!! I will... — KristinV Sep 21, 2009

Linguine Verde

Posted by Nif  

Sorry Nif but this just didn't suit my family. I imagine it might be a good side dish for a meat eating family but as a meal on it's own for vegans, it was just didn't have enough flavour. MAde for PAC Fall '09 — KristinV Sep 16, 2009

Nif's Basic Dry BBQ Rub

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Nif  

This run was fantastically quick and easy, so much so that I thought it was going to be a bit 'dull'. I am very happy to report that I was wrong! I quartered the recipe and used it as a kind of 'shake and bake' for roasted root vegetables... — KristinV Sep 12, 2009

Thai Dipping Sauce

Posted by J. Ko  

Yummo! Sadly I had no carrots on hand and I used vegan oyster sauce instead of fish sauce when making this but it was still awesome! I would also cut back the sugar a little next time. — KristinV Aug 30, 2009

Churros Con Chocolate (Spanish)

Posted by Pneuma  

These were lovely but won't be made regularly because of the deep frying teamed with chocolate. Very bad for my hips but loved by all that tried them! I used soy milk and dairy free chocolate. That for the lovely recipe Pneuma! Made for ZWT5 Zingo — KristinV Jun 14, 2009

Mixed Bean Soup

Posted by bigbadbrenda  

This is a lovely recipe so suitable for the cold weather we are having in my part of the World! Mine was more of a stew than a soup in the end which was just fine. I am annoyed with myself that I didn't bake a loaf of bread to go with it!! Thanks... — KristinV Jun 13, 2009

This was one of those wonderful recipes that you are a little sceptical about as you put it together. I was making it thinking 'This is far to basic to be anything remarkable, tasty sure, but nothing out of this world.' I was SO wrong... I took... — KristinV Jun 12, 2009

Garbanzo Cassoulet

Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

I absolutely ADORED the filling for the recipe. The breadcrumbs were a bit much for our tastes but we did use cheap, storebrand, unflavoured breadcrumbs. I would have loved to use Panko or to make fresh breadcrumbs; I think it would have boosted... — KristinV Jun 11, 2009
