Christmas Post...Finally



We were out at my parents house for a couple days to celebrate Christmas and we did a lot of cooking. We made 2 batches of Vegan Yum Yum's mini donuts and ate them Christmas Eve for breakfast. They were a big hit with the omnivores. Andy still prefers them frosted with chocolate, but my new favorite is to dip them in cinnamon and sugar.

Andy has been really getting into making pizza the past month or so. We've been using the Vegan with a Vengeance pizza recipes for the most part. I think the dough turns out really well, especially when cooked on a pizza stone. (We just got one for Hanukkah - thanks Dave and Nancy!) On Christmas Eve we were out at my parents house and Andy and I had volunteered to cook dinner, so of course we decided to make pizzas. We had just gotten the pizza stone and my mom has a BIG kitchen with 2 ovens, so we figured it was the perfect time to have a pizza factory. We made dough for 6 pizza's, but there were only 5 of us so we decided to ONLY make 5 pizza's. We each got to design our own pizza's that way. This was appreciated by the omnivores cuz they got to use whatever toppings they wanted. It was kinda a lot of work for Andy cuz he volunteered to roll out all the dough, but for the rest of us it was just fun...


Meg & Andy design - Tempeh "sausage" crumble, fennel, and potato (VWV recipe)


Mom's design - mozzarella, pepperoni, green pepper, mushrooms, and onion


Shannon's design - Green pepper, mushrooms, olives, feta and blue cheese


Dad's design - Pesto, feta, olives, shallot, green pepper


Another Meg & Andy design - our favorite adapted from the Dolce le Vegan cookbook - Pesto, spinach, shallots, parma, and "faux" feta. Everyone liked this pizza.
