For those of you who don’t know me, I am Nashveggie’s other half. This is my first foray into the blogging world. I think the regulars call it a blogosphere. I am not up on all the computer/pop culture terms; so if I offend anyone, let me know. I will be making semi-regular posts about baking and green cleaning tips. Tonight I am attempting a new/old dessert called a pandowdy. It is basically a cobbler with the crust smushed into the filling half way through the baking process. I am not sure how the mango and apple will taste together, but we will see. I will probably make some soy cream to go along with it. YUM! Speaking of soy cream. There is a fabulous book out there for those of you with a huge sweet tooth. The Vegan Scoop by Wheeler del Torro is an absolutely fabulous book full of you guessed it-vegan ice cream recipes. So far we have tried the vanilla (yum), chocolate (even more yum), and peanut butter (oh my goodness). Creamy and light and very easy, if you don’t mind making a custard ice cream base that you have to cool before putting in your handy dandy countertop ice cream maker. Well, dinner awaits and I love our beautiful arrangement. (He cooks and I bake!) Though I did make a great skillet corn with roasted tomatoes.
The cooking/baking split seems pretty familiar–it’s the same way with me and my soon-to-be husband: he cooks, I bake and do some of the prep work. Welcome! I look forward to reading posts from you, too.
