potluck went well. I did forget to score my turnover, but they still turned out wonderful. also, the steak is amazing. I'm gonna make so much more of it once my italian oyster mushrooms grow in (they're doing so well!!)
For a potluck I hosted. And, so, I did forget to score the apple turnover before putting it in the oven. How'd you notice?
Other notes: making the puff pastry out of wine instead of water went well, as did adding wine to the apple filling. I also really like the effect of tapioca starch in apple filling in place of corn starch.
I absolutely love lazy and quick (somewhat quick, I use Carbe Diem for the pasta so it takes like 20 minutes to cook that) macaroni and cheese. Especially when the macaroni is shells. Yum.
So, this is my secret ingredient for the cheese sauce: consumerism.
(No, my flair isn't incorrect. shut up.)
Had some girls over for D&d, so I baked a vegan three berry pie and made some oyster mushroom fried chicken (sadly forgot to take photos, but it was good too). The pie was a liquidy mess, but it was a delicious liquidy mess.
and it's vegan yada yada. Apparently the macaroni I picked really bulks up in size when boiled (which took 20 minutes); I had to add some extra oat milk and cheddar (and nooch) to the cheese sauce to cover all of the macaroni. Also, I did completely forget to salt the pasta while boiling. oops.
(Side note: apparently this macaroni contained, all in all, 252% of my daily recommended dose of fiber. I'm not going to think about what that's going to do to me).
We do not acknowledge what happened to the salami

The macaroni and cheese is entirely store bought (Daiya, so it's vegan), but I also bought cheese packs to make some more but with shells. I love shells and cheese so much.
I made the apple pie and will slowly be eating it over the next week.
forgot to score them. And, I had a ton of filling and puff pastry left after already filling my only sheet pan, so I made a quick (and maybe slightly undercooked) apple pie with what was left.
Did you know that McDonald's apple pie is already vegan? Did you know that I didn't have to make this and I could've just walked to the McDonald's and have an apple pie? I sure didn't.
I did, in fact, forget to score them.
after the first batch, I kind of was already using my one sheet pan, and I had to get these out the door before my club started, so uhhh... yeah, made an apple pie in a cast iron with my remaining filling and puff pastry. Maybe should've kept it in longer, oh well. It'll taste great tomorrow when I pull it out of the fridge either way.
(I made this as a vegan alternate to mcdonald's apple pie before learning that mcdonald's apple pie was already vegan. Damn it.)
(All vegan, of course)
sadly the steak was too fumbly for me to skewer it with a popsickle stick. Maybe a real skewer will work better, but next time I'll just make drumsticks out of tofu skin or something.
Used Treeline mozzarella for this. Melts a lot different from the Rebel Cheese ones, but it's pretty comparable and definitely a lot better than the vegan cheese at my nearest pizza parlour. And it doesn't have the heck ton of saturated fats, making this a health food if you don't look at any other metric of nutrition.
I might use a mix next time since I had some Treeline mozzarella left over.
with how bad the vegan cheese is at my nearest pizza place, this is amazing. maybe for my next people I'll manipulate some friends into coming over so I can make a larger pizza with bigger slices.
Ignoring my wobbly shape, this one actually came out pretty well with how long I left it in the oven.
Adding a ton of crushed red pepper flakes made it even better!!
Ignoring the flour that caught fire over the hot burner, these went super well! Literally my absolute favorite food now.
Stupid easy to make too!! Rehydrate the soy curls then batter and deepfry like you would gluten chicken or oyster mushrooms. It's so much easier than having to kneed gluten and has a far better texture too.
