More New Stuff!

Yesterday was a rainy day and I had the day off so I decided to make spaghetti squash lasagna. I saw a Whole Foods ad on YouTube and they made this lasagna using spaghetti squash as the noodles and I thought, duh why haven't I thought of that?? Gluten free lasagna noodles are expensive and you get like three in a box so you need at least two boxes. Anyway unfortunately I didn't write down what I did because I just kind of wanted to zone out and cook. But it was super simple. I roasted the squash and then layered it with marinara, an herbed tofu ricotta I whipped up, a little of the vegan pesto from Trader Joe's and some vegan shreds.

Look at that melt! I used the vegan shreds from Trader Joe's and they worked perfectly here! I flavored my tofu ricotta with garlic, salt, pepper, fresh parsley and green onion. You know how sometimes you make a dish that exceeds your expectations and it just feels so good? Well this is that dish for me. I figured it would taste good because how could it not, but it was just so much better than good! And the spaghetti squash worked perfectly. It even held it's shape when I cut it!

The horrible lighting is not doing this dish any justice! I would definitely make this for a nice dinner party. With the red of the marinara and the green from the pesto and parsley it looks very festive! It would even be good with no vegan cheese and just an extra sprinkling of nooch on top. But the vegan cheese kind of brings home the whole lasagna feel! So thanks Whole Foods ad for the great idea!

Last night was a dessert night. I needed some sweet relief from life. I have had the talenti mango sorbet and it is soooooo good, especially on a hot summer night. I always assumed all of their ice creams are not vegan, but somehow this peanut butter fudge sorbetto is vegan! You guys if you like peanut butter, do yourself the biggest favor and look for this at your grocery store. It is fluffier than ice cream, but yet still creamy. I don't know how to perfectly describe this but I know that it's a game changer! And the fudge swirls are a soft fudge swirl, like fudge sauce not hard chunks of fudge. It reminded me of a peanut butter cream pie.

Here's my little heat lover Kanye taking up all the heat in my bedroom! But she's kind enough to leave the rest of us a few inches!
Happy Caturday!
