As part of my disaster preparedness plan, I used up my 4 lbs of apple to make the crisp recipe from Vegan Pie in the Sky. Despite having had this book for about a year now, this is only the second recipe I've made from it.
To be honest, I'm not in love. I've made simpler crisps with more flavor. I'm not going to give up on the book though, I'll try a bunch of pies before I make my decision.
The major obstacle in this was that I didn't have any ground cinnamon. I did, however, have cinnamon sticks, a magic bullet, and a coffee grinder.
We went back to the farmers' market this morning, and it was a bit of a ghost town. On the plus side, we got two deluxe trays of mushrooms again because they were on sale! Also, the line at the pickle stand was finally not some twisted waiting game, so we got wasabi pickles!
Aw cute puppy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! He is such a darling!
DeleteHey, maybe spruce it up with choc chips. Perfect comfort food to await the storm.
ReplyDeleteYou animal companions are so cute. How's everybody doing?
Great idea! That will probably be breakfast today. The ACs are great - they love watching everything outside through the windows, and nothing can keep Darcy from his walks! Thanks for asking :)
DeleteAwww, your animal buddies are super adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is exactly how I prepared for the storm, too. Great minds! We didn't end up losing power, though, so I wasn't "forced" to eat half the pan. Maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, wasabi pickles! That sounds so excellent.
Haha, yeah, I have food for weeks because of all of the preparations! No complaints from me though.
DeleteThe pickles were great - especially as chasers for vodka shots ;) I can't wait to try the other varieties they have (and to report back of course).
we have so many apples from our apple tree, and I've been sort of dreaming of making a little crisp. Maybe this weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should (if you haven't already)! They are always such a hit. I'm a big fan of the one in The Joy of Vegan Baking.
