Yam Fries, Pickles, and a New Cookbook!

Howdy! I haven't had much time to post. Sometimes work is very busy. Last week, I cooked up Spicy Yam (I learned something Catherine) Fries from TEV. I needed to use up some leftover yams from the portabellas. These were quick, easy, and very good. Tommy, tommy, the cranky parrot and her friendly cohort Nacho the conure gobbled up a few of the spicy fries.

Other than the yam fries, the weekend didn't involve much cooking. My fridge had plenty of leftovers to use up including a second batch of the white bean boursin.

At the moment, I have some refrigerator pickles marinating in the kitchen. I picked up some baby cukes at the market and needed to use those. The Spicy Refrigerator Dill Pickles recipe came from AllRecipes. I'll post a pic in a couple of days when they are done.

Today I received a new cookbook in the mail. It is called: The Healthiest Diet in the World. Originally I found it because Erin mentioned it on HIS blog. Since it is a diet book, I wasn't sure what to expect.

As I flipped through this book tonight I was incredibly surprised by the wealth of great recipes. The majority of the dishes are vegan and there are so many tofu, tempeh, and wonderful looking veg dishes. I've been married to Dreena's books for the past two weeks because they were my first new vegan books. I'll be putting them down for a bit and trying this one and VwaVout over the next few weeks.

Look forward to my posts about new recipes that I try!
