Not quite so easy...

Isn't hummus suppose to be the simplest vegan food out there? I mean, I make a mean guac so I knew I could handle hummus... let us just say that I'll be buying it from the store for a little while longer... maybe I didn't soak the chickpeas long enough... maybe I didn't add enough sesame seeds, maybe any number of things went wrong... I'll finish this batch - maybe...

Snowed Out

Looks like I'll have another day to lay up under the covers and enjoy my soup from yesterday. For the first time since I started working in Gwinnett County - if memory serves - we have a snow day. Of course this means I'll now be in school until May 26th to make up for it but that's okay - better than driving on icy roads!

So, I looked up recipes for yellow split pea soup, but I didn't have a bunch of the ingredients and it was snowing outside so I tossed in whatever I had. In the end the bag of peas, three veg cubes to make the broth, the rest of my bag of stir fry veggies, some corn, some onions, some green peppers, and some potato apple sage sausages seasoned to taste found their way into my Crockpot set on high between 3 and 7 yesterday to make some pretty groovy soup! This is the first time I've made soup from scratch and it's actually come out right! I'm very excited. I think it's all because of the Crockpot... And since there's still snow on the ground, I have the perfect excuse to eat some more for lunch today! Okay, so maybe dinner, too!

Winter Wonderland

I'm about to start some soup... anybody want to guess why?
