Anyone out there interested in participating in the Vegan Month of Food 2013? (VeganMoFo) The fun starts in September. You can see my VeganMoFo2012 posts by clicking here.
I keep dreaming of having a vegan dinner party. You may
recall that I almost pulled it off for a party on St. Patrick’s Day, but I gave
in to fear and served the classic Irish menu: Corned Beef. Don’t get me wrong,
it was great and my guests were pleased, but I think I’m ready to ‘go public’
with my new vegan diet and host a vegan dinner party.
I admit, I am not 100% vegan, but I am doing pretty well, all things
considered. I understand a true vegan gives up much more than animal foods.
They give up wearing and using leather. They give up cosmetics and other
products that are tested on animals. They are probably active in the animal
rights movement. They lead a very compassionate life, actually.
Me, I just wanted to lower my cholesterol and made the
decision to try vegan meals for one month last October. I guess it stuck, cuz
here I am staring my one year anniversary in the face.
The recipe can be found here. I followed it to the letter. These little croquettes were absolutely fantastic! A tiny bit smoky from the chipotle. A tiny bit sweet from the potato. The hint of lime was perfect. And the pumpkin seed cream was heavenly!
