My passport is full. I did so much traveling this weekend...and all of it from the tiny galley-style kitchen of mine. Cooking sets me free and this weekend I was on fire!
First I flew down to Key West, and made a lovely Key Lime Pie;
next I went to a Vegetarian Retreat far in the mountains and made "Healthy Joes" - TVP, homemade BBQ sauce, black beans and collard greens on whole wheat rolls;
next I took Izaac to a Carnival on a pier somewhere and had Baked Corn dogs (whole wheat/corn meal breading);
and from there it was on to Italy where my boy and I whipped up some delicious homemade pesto;
we couldn't stay long there because we had to travel back to New England to make some Orange Cranberry muffins;
then it was on to the Middle East where I made some Beet Hummus (thanks Tracy for the recipe!);
we took a shortcut and landed in a Vegan camp in the woods, where we made and enjoyed, lettuce, peach, date, hemp and OJ smoothies;
after our departure we went back to Italy for some Pesto Pasta with Zucchini and Summer Squash.
We took a brief detour to Saco, ME to enjoy the fun of Splashtown, then hopped in the Superdubaru and made our way home. A couple jogs thrown in for good measure and we had a great weekend.
It's amazing how far we can go in that little kitchen. Imagine what we could do with a normal sized one, an island or even a counter surface larger than a dishrack!
Yay! What did you think of the hummus?
ReplyDeleteI loved it! I put it on crackers with goat cheese and mint...then just scooped it out with cucumbers - so yummy! I get so many beets in the winter so this will be great.
