Before the fantastical deliciousness, just a reminder :
It’s never too late to join in the yoga fun!
One does need sustenance in order to properly practice yoga, n’est-ce pas? Good thing there is so much deliciousness to chose from amongst the test recipes for Celine and Joni’s 500 Vegan Recipes! Honestly, the most difficult thing about being a tester (oh, woe is me) is deciding what to make.
I took advantage of our last lazy holiday Sunday to fix a lovely Sunday dinner. The crazy unusually cold temps seemed to suggest we make a big ole late lunch and stay in our jammies : -5c was the high!?! What the heck is up with that? I know, that doesn’t sound like much for some of you, but we are just not equipped for that kind of cold!
I made some cheater green rice (thawed frozen spinach tossed in with rice), and a green salad to round out the meal. I hardly was able to snap a photo as the Fish School was starving!
These quiches are the easiest I’ve ever made – and the most convincing, too. This isn’t the first time I’ve made these. Monsieur Fish, not terribly loquacious, has requested them 3 times over the past month!
The first time I made these he didn’t get in until well after the dinner hour. I’d just left everything out so he could help himself, and he actually had to wake me up to ask me if I’d decided to start eating eggs! He thought they were that authentic tasting! Let me reassure you, no eggs were cracked in the making of these babies!
I’d love to do yoga with you! it almost sounds…dirty?
oh elles sont belles tes quiches. celles a l’artichaut? je perds la boule!
How did I miss the boat on being a tester for this cookbook? Que je suis jalouse!
Mmm….I love vegan quiche! And I’m super excited about all the fun testing going on. That means we have awesome cookbooks to look forward too!
On the yoga thing, I should practice more often but I couldn’t commit to everyday. My resolution (one of them anyway) is to work out five days a week. I was doing four days a week, but it doesn’t feel like enough. So I should maybe make one of those days a yoga now. I’m bad about not doing yoga and instead taking like boxing or something because I want to burn more calories. But inner peace is important too.
Mini-quiches were one of my favorites as a kid (my mom catered weddings and she made approx. 8 million in her day…) You’re such a tease for posting them!
Oooh I cannot WAIT to try those out! The photo looks great. And I love the idea of “cheater green rice”
(Still sounds good to me).
yum! i can’t wait for the cookbook so i can give these a shot!
Lucky you testing recipes for Celine! Hang in there with the cold!!
PS: I’ll make you pancakes, cakes or whatever you wish, my Shelly Queen!
I know what you mean about the cold. It was -7 here for a little while. We didn’t go anywhere! I don’t know how they do it in Canada etc. Still tomorrow (or rather Wednesday) we will be in Santiago and enjoying 33 degrees!
Ahh Tester Teasing!!! Cover my eyes!
Oooh…those look so good! I love Joni and Celine’s recipes from their sites (and Joni’s first book) and am eagerly awaiting this one!
Quiches are so hard to make well as a vegan, at least in my experience. Seems like a mini-quiche is a great solution to some of the common problems.
thanks for the yoga reminder, Shelly! i need to get back into it!
hooray for such wonderful mini quiches – they look amazing! that’s awesome that they’re easy & so delicious! mmmmmmmmmm! i’m loving the green rice, too!
stay warm, Shelly!
I’m TOTALLY joining your yoga group! One my goals for 2009 is to establish a daily yoga practice, and this is a perfect way to kickstart it. I’m in
So glad you’re back on your feet again!
Hooray for Celine’s amazing dishes!!
Such yumminess! Can’t wait for the cookbook!!
