I love simple! Spiced Veggie Brown Rice (Pulao) from Indian Vegan Cooking. So hit the Rice, Veggies, Indian Food and Easy spots! Delish! #vegan #indian #rice #vegan_indian_cooking

The Husband cooked me birthday dinner! My favorite thing to eat that is not pizza: Post Punk Kitchen’s Chana Masala! #vegan #ppk #chickpeas #indian #chana_masala

Note to self, while #vegan #indian cooking mustard seed #potato and #wheat #bagel are great breakfast items, I do not need such a carb load in the future! #vegansofig #veganfoodshare

To quote The Husband, “I was done eating and I am not hungry, but when I looked down I was sad. Where did my Chana Masala go?!” #vegan #whatveganseat #chanamasala #chickpeas #indian #veganfoodshare #vegansofig (Taken with Instagram)

Post Punk Kitchen Chana Masala. One of the first meals that showed me that eating plant based is easy peasy and delicious. Make it now! #chickpeas #ppk #chanamasala #indian #vegan #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #vegansofig (Taken with Instagram)

I love to cook.  It also helps that I love to eat things I’ve cooked myself (more so than going out).  It also helps that The Husband loves my food (which helps him to be mostly vegan, as everything I cook is vegan, without issue or remorse).

Even though life is good and the food is fantastic… I always want to be better.

Over the past week and this weekend since I have the time and some uncharacteristic patience on my part, I’ve been pushing myself further and trying new and awesome things.  Mostly bread related, because breads seem to be my cooking Kryptonite.  Things that I’ve made/will be making/rediculously proud of are:

Dosas.

Besan Pooras.

Samosas.

Parathas.

Chutney.

Injera.

Mushroom Tibs.

Gomen.

Yesmir Wat.

And… so many waffles!  I blame season 4 of Parks and Recreation being on Netflix. Leslie keeps reminding me how awesome waffles are.

Cooking.  Eating.  Having the time of my life!

Vegan Indian Cooking extravaganza for brunch. Besan Poora (chickpea flour crepes), Tomato Chutney (face melter!) and finally and at last homemade Baked Samosas! “Rustic” to be sure but heavenly! #indian #samosas #poora #chutney #chickpeas #vegan #whatveganseat #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #brunch (Taken with Instagram)

Lunch of left over Bhindi masala, brown rice, and the roti that I am ridiculously (and likely undeservedly) proud of. So what if they are not circular? How could you tell they are homemade otherwise?!?! #vegan #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #whatveganseat #indian #okra #bhindi #roti #rice (Taken with Instagram)

From Indian Vegan Cooking, a Tofu Masala Scramble and… ok, omfg, I made Dosas! Real, proper dosas! From scratch! We also had (not homemade) mango salsa and traditional … er, banana and joe black. #vegan #whatveganseat #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #dosas #indian #tofu #banana

Vegan Indian Cooking book is broken in! Made Jeera Aloo for breakfast, and can I just say I split the serves four into two servings figuring it was late and we were hungry but… The Husband finished, and I have leftovers for later. So tasty though! Full disclosure: oil was reduced severely to quick oil spray versus the tbsp called for. Served with wheat lavash (I will conquer roti some day!) and joe black. #vegan #whatveganseat #indian #potato #aloo #jeera #cumin (Taken with Instagram)
