I've always been a fan of Vegan Dad's blog. I have a number of recipes bookmarked but I think this was the first thing I've actually made.

A couple of friends of mine planted a nice bunch of cherry tomato bushes while I was on holidays so we've been rather blessed with an abundance of delicious little fruits for the past couple of weeks. After harvesting only two days worth, we found we had a rather decent pile of these so decided that the only thing for it was roasting! The recipe ( Read more... )

Made Pierogi tonight, turned out delicious and not as hard as I expected. It won't win any points in the low-fat arena but it sure tasted good ( Read more... )
