#160: Cinnamon-Spiced Roasted Veggies

We've made this receipe before, so I'm skipping it. Also I skipped the Pickles-receipe, 'cos it sort of freaked me out!

The Big Catch-Up Day!

The end of the catch up weekend is upon us. I have 13 recipes to blog about and 6 of them I haven't done yet... I'm gonna skip 2 recipes, because: 1.)  I don't have thermometer for the Fudge recipe and 2.) I'm getting mighty sick of these pumpkin recipes and figuring out how to substitute the pumpkin. So, I'm doing the Simple Sassy Soda Bread instead of the Mimi's Pumpkin Bread!

Errors!

Oh shoot! I've been wondering where the cumin fried potatoes entry went and realized that I haven't posted it yet and that the receipe and a few others have been deleted by mistake from my schedule.doc - four lines missing! What happened?! Oh well, I'm gonna post them now. This so messes up my list, d'oh!

Fall vacation

Apologies for the silence! I took a few days of to visit Turku archipelago to relax and to pick up mushrooms and berries. Ah, the best time of the year!

One month down!

It's already been one month since me and a few others started The Vegan Culinary Institutes La Dolce Vegan challenge! Wow!

I guess most of us have had a bit of a rough time at least this past week, including myself. Looking at the schedule for October I remember that those two "free" weekends we've had were just to ease us into the challenge and won't be having much of those anymore! So I thought I would share my system and hope that maybe it could help my fellow contestents. And hopefully also others could share their ideas!

Thinking about the challenge in general I thought it would be better for me and my head to just cook. I think there has been maybe one or two days where I've done the receipe marked for that day. If I'd start to think about the schedule and time, I would get too stressed!

I've marked 1-2 weeks receipes (as seen in the picture) and I've first browsed through them every other day and picked a receipe (many days I've done 2-3 recipes per day and then had time to take days off) best for that day. And if I didn't feel like doing any of those recipes or I needed to do a certain kind of a dish or if I didn't have the right stuff to do any of those recipes, I would  just pick some receipe and do it. It feels more free! I also though instead of like buying cookies etc from the store, if I had time I would try to use a random receipe and make them myself.

Being a so-called professional in the food industry I would recommend trying to catch to birds in one stone. For and example boiling a bigger batch of beans or doing a little bigger batch of seitan and putting the rest to the freezer.

Then a few times a week I would empty the camera and later make drafts ready of every entry I had started and add pictures so they wouldn't get lost.

For the most part I've really enjoyed being part of the
challenge. I think it's nice that you have to do some receipes you normally wouldn't. Many of the receipes are also like culturally foreign to me so I think I'm learning a lot!
