vegan mofo: biscuits and gravy.

A couple of weeks ago, Kenn asked for biscuits. Normally, I would just say no. I don't bake. And I sure as hell don't knead and roll-out. And what good are biscuits that aren't round. (sorry drop-biscuits, I'm just not that into you.)

But I figured I would give it a shot. We had everything we needed. So I browsed my cookbooks and most of the recipes were pretty similar. So I measured and mixed. And then I kneaded and rolled and cut and baked.

Way easier than I had imagined and so good. And now I can't stop.

Tonights biscuit: jalapeno and cilantro with lime (couldn't taste the lime)

Rest of the meal: Vegan With A Vengeance's Breakfast Veggie Chorizo (pg. 20) with the addition of some oatmeal flakes and flour to form into patties. With a nutritional yeast gravy.
Snobby Joe's on the side, cause that stuff is good.
Broccoli.

And today, instead of reading mofo blogs all day, I actually need to get to the studio! I can just feel my blog reader getting full and suffocating. How do you plan on staying on top of it all?

In celebration of my 15-year vegan-versary, I am participating in Vegan MoFo.

A really amazing event, where vegan (and non-vegan) blogs around the globe discuss vegan food for the month of October. And since October is the month when I start to use my kitchen again (thanks Atlanta summers) and I just finished reading Julie & Julia (meh), the timing seemed right.

For those of you that are here for the random pottery content, consider this fair warning. There is about to be way more posts. All of them yummy (or not so yummy) vegan food related.

While I don't have a working theme, I do plan on cooking most of the entries. And trying to stretch my somewhat limited culinary skills on some recipes that I have been hesitant to try. But I can tell you this: there will be biscuits. Lots of biscuits.

First up:


Leftover lentil soup.
Jalapeno and chedder biscuits. (HIAV biscuit recipe with 2 minced jalapenos and about 1/3 cup shredded Follow Your Heart chedder cheese)

We don't really eat much vegan cheese, so this is different for us. Kenn loves the jalapeno and cheddar biscuits at Sevenanda (vegetarian food co-op right up the street), so I tried to make them. I thought they were pretty good.

And, of course, leftover lentil soup is always good.
