Hey, so if I used whole wheat penne in the Pumpkin Baked Ziti recipe from Veganomicon that makes it have, like, negative amounts of calories and fat, right? Right? Sigh, I guess not. It makes an ass-ton too, so I’ma need to freeze some of it. It kind of dirties a lot of dishes and takes a while, slightly less then 2 hours from start to face stuffing, but like the Butternut Squash Lasagna, it’s worth it. I even made the bread crumbs for it from a bread I tossed in my bread machine at the end of last week.
Pretty in the pan.

All messed up on my plate.
You know the Chewy Chocolate Raspberry Cookies in Veganomicon? Well, I only had cherry preserves. And not even enough of that, so I had to add some sour cherry butter to get up to the right amount. Still, these came out perfect. Warm out of the oven, slightly crispy edges and soft on the inside. Mmmmmmmmm.
Here the coffee cake on the far side comes into view.
And a better look at those sweet rolls, some “sausages” and hiding in the back, Beer Battered Seitan from Yellow Rose Recipes, Punk Rock Chickpea Gravy from Vegan with a Vengeance and whole grain waffles.
Oh, and this wasn’t all. We also had sweet potato hash browns, a fruit salad, some potatoes maybe and probably more stuff I’m forgetting. Let’s put it this way, this was the only meal I ate this day. So much yummy food! And since the “chicken” ‘n waffles didn’t really show up well on the table, here it is as blurry leftovers:
