PC Chocolate Egg Nog

Don't try this at home. We tried this stuff last night and it was horrible. Not even adding rum would help this drink.

I guess some people will eat anything as long as it has chocolate in it.

To anyone who is stuck with this awful drink, here's a recipe to help use it up. It covered up the aftertaste quite well, it's a little on the sweet side but it's worth it to cover up that weird taste.

4 cups PC chocolate egg nog
1 cup unsweetened soymilk
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 1/4 shots creme de cacao



Stir.
Heat on High in a small crockpot for 2 hours.
Do not boil.
Serve in large mugs topped with whipped cream and grated chocolate (or leftover Hershey's bars from Halloween).



Now it's drinkable, enjoyable even.

Mushroom Stew

Making this Mushroom Stew recipe again, it's one of my favourite recipes from The Vegetarian Epicure. I didn't make as many changes to the original recipe this time though.

I just added some rice vinegar instead of the red wine and skipped the extra peppers I usually add.

This is such a nice fall recipe, plus I love that there are always lots of leftovers to freeze for another enjoyable meal. Yum!

We're making mulled wine again...

We had a huge bottle of red wine so we decided to double the recipe. Then we cooled the rest and refilled the wine bottle with the leftover mulled wine.

Such a wonderful treat for this time of year!

Alicia Silverstone

I found some interesting news on the internet today, apparently Alicia Silverstone has written a cookbook called "The Kind Diet."

She has a blog that can be found here. She even has a forum on her blog.

Here are some video clips of Alicia promoting her new book.

They are fun to watch and include some recipes from her book.

Please leave me a comment if you've tried any of the recipes, I'd like to hear how they turned out. Thanks, Veggie.

I still love her recipe for Tempeh Salad, it's so good. I wonder if it's in her book?

Hello everyone,
