Vegan Thai Coconut Soup and Lentil Sloppy Joes
These were both adapted form Skinny Bitch cookbook, which has become one of my all-time favorites. I would say my favorite, since i haven’t come across a book that has deserved THAT title, but definately in the top 10…..and I have gone through a ton of cookbooks. The Chef LOVED the soup. The sloppy joes….not so much. They served their purpose though, and were actually pretty decent. And with the vegan month coming to an end, I can honestly say...

The recipes came from the ‘Caymen Cookout’ section of the book, which, of...
Read MoreBecause it’s Monday, coconut cookies must be made
As I write this, I am eating my fourth….or fifth? Hmmm, lost count. Anyways, these are my “go to” cookies. The most amazing things on the face of the earth. Whenever I want to cook, but my creativity is dwindling, the Chef always suggest the cookies. He asked for them last night, and the kids asked for them after lunch today. I must oblige.
