This month the group made food inspired by recipes in the family.

This is what we made:

The potstickers contained kale, red bell pepper, chick pea, fresh ginger, green onion, and store bought wrappers.

Brenda: rice pudding

The pudding consisted of rice, cream of coconut, vanilla, lime, and cinnamon.

Vanessa: “Tuna fish”

The mock tuna was made using garbanzo beans, spices, green onions, dulse flakes, Vegenaise®, soy sauce, ume vinegar, and mustard.

Bryan: Watermelon Juice

The juice had watermelon and beets for color.

Billy: Chimichangas

The chimichangas were filled with pinto beans, tomato and onion from Billy’s garden, ground style soy meat, black olives, fresh garlic, parsley, oregano, cumin, paprika, and topped with Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds.

Laura: Pierogi

Laura made the dough from scratch with flour, oil, and salt. She filled them with potato and onion.

Slynn: Dad’s Stuffed Shells with Mom’s Tomato Sauce

Slynn stuffed the shells with homemade tofu ricotta. She topped them with vegan “mozzarella” and “not-parm.”

Kim: Coleslaw and watermelon

The slaw contained green and red cabbage, Nasoya Nayonaise, and apple cider vinegar.

Taylor: Paprikash and bite-sized pastry

The paprikash, a Hungarian dish, had pasta, lots of smoked paprika, bell pepper, mushroom, and onion.

Taylor said these pastries were something she had leftover.

Colleen: Oatmeal banana cookies and chocolate krispie treats

Lilly: Khoresht-e Kadoo, tadig, and Persian cucumbers

Lilly made Khoresht-e Kadoo (zucchini stew) and tadig (crispy rice). She served them with Persian cucumbers.

John: Rice salad and pound cakes with strawberries

The salad contained sprouted lentils, rice, tomato, radish, celery, and olive oil.

Kelly: Hummus and crackers

Kelly got word about this meeting on very short notice. Not wanting to show up empty-handed, she picked up some hummus and crackers from Whole Foods.

There was also a mint chocolate chip birthday cookie at the meeting for Billy.
