Hi everyone! Today is the first day of my Vegan MoFo theme “Elementary, My Dear Vegan.” Holmes and Watson very rarely cook for themselves; when they do, it’s usually very simple (and largely vegetarian) meals. They also order a lot of takeout, as noted at the end of S1E2 (“While You Were Sleeping”) when Watson brings in dinner…
Holmes: More malodorous takeout. How wonderful. What is this, five nights in a row?
Watson: It’s Mediterranean. I hope you like garlic.
Since no specific dishes were mentioned, I flipped to the garlic listing in the index of The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Donna Klein, and decided to make the spaghettini with walnut-garlic sauce. It was a very simple recipe (and I made it even simpler by not toasting the walnuts and using dried parsley instead of fresh). I served it with some Aldi vegan meatballs, and it was quite tasty…
Here’s Rogue during the serious business of kneading me before settling in for cuddles…
Peace. :)
After running errands for various ingredients for Easter recipes, I decided for dinner I would try one of the Daiya frozen pizzas I'd gotten when they were on sale.
I'd had the cheeze lover's pizza before, but the mushroom & roasted garlic pizza was a new one for me & I figured I'd give it a chance.
The mushrooms weren't too bad, but there was a bit more garlic than I would have preferred.

I also like a thicker pizza crust, and the Daiya pizza crusts are a bit too thin for my liking (but I knew that already from the cheeze lover's pizza).

But, all in all, for a frozen pizza and the minimal amount of effort required, it makes for a good enough dinner.
Now that that's taken care of, it's time for me to start preparing stuff for Easter dinner tomorrow. I'm excited to try out this recipe from Banana Curl, Vegan Girl for chamomile lavender cupcakes, and I'm also making a chickpea “tuna” salad.
Here's a Buttons & Leela pic before I go...
Peace. :)
