1 - Hey, I've got nothing to do today but Smile

Hmm guess I got to start somewhere...

I wrote a small bio about myself to the right ->
But this blog is not really about me, it's about Adventures. Veggie Adventures.

THE ORIGIN:
I started this new school year (Fall 09) with two new goals...
1) to attempt to cook more (like real cooking, no microwaves)
and
2) to go and explore the Vegetarian/Vegan cuisine offered in restaurants and stores around which I have yet to experience!

So yeah I guess that's what this blog will be chronicling... my Veggie Adventures! both by in my attempts to cook more and my explorations to the awesome places around me!

When I started to tackle goal #1 (see above) I started taking pictures of my awesome creations and posting them on my private facebook account and I was really surprised at all the awesome feedback I got from my friends (because really I was doing it for me, kind of proving to myself that I could cook) and after acquiring quite a few mouthwatering pictures of awesome dishes I made I decided maybe facebook wasn't the best place to post them... and one day after looking at a lot of other veggie blogs that I love (see below right) I decided I wanted to create my own!

Here's a bunch of previous dishes I've made in the past... I could probably go around again and post recipes as I create them again... So if you would like to see a future post on one of these (like how to do it) then feel free and comment or email me the suggestion/request!


The Kospee Special
- The dish that started it all... (it also stands as an awesome symbol of teamwork between my roommate and I!)


Baked Stuffed Tomatoes It's baked AND stuffed!! (but not in that order)


Fried Tempeh Salad - It's Bomb-diggity!



DC Stir-Fry
- Mushrooms + Yellow Bell Peppers + Tempeh



Veggie Dal
- Definately an experiment that turned out well!!



Angel hair Spaghetti with Tofu!
Or is it "AND Tofu?"



Quadruple Pepper Stir-Fry!!
4X the Fun! Oh Baby!



Vampires vs. Werewolves!
- haha an original for sure... it's a mixed vegetable dish with potato gnocchi


(Pinto) Bean Burritos + Fried Veggie Potato Medley - "I'm A Potato!, You're A Potato!!!"


A Traditonal Stir-Fry! - It's Oriental not Asian!


Broiled Tempeh! - + Corn on the Cob & Potatoes!


If there's one thing I've realized in doing this... it's that I need to learn how to take better pictures of food! (being an art major... some photography skills might come in handy!)

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. I hope this all works out and I can actually inspire someone else to have an adventure of their own!

New Beginings, New Friends, New Adventures!
Cheers!
