Savory Corn Fritters a la The Garden of Eatin'

I have no photos of these delicious fritters.  Make them if you have corn!  Here is the link to the recipe: http://gardenofeatingblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/savory-corn-fritters.html.

Zucchini bread

My birthday cake to Robert made from Smitten Kitchen's recipe here which I halved and modified for less sugar.

Dumplings and sesame pancakes

From Prosperity Dumplings in Chinatown, NYC.

Vegetable dumplings

Sesame seed pancake with vegetables and egg

Almost vegan delicious truffles

Vegan + delicious, it's true!  I used Amy Eddings's recipe for a date-pecan truffle and we have been eating at least three per day, each.  The recipe is almost vegan because I toasted my pecans in butter.  Also, I added cinnamon and two pinches of (rose) sea salt instead of one pinch and dusted the truffles with cacao powder before freezing them.  Best eaten a day later.

Meatless BBQ sandwich

We prepared a meatless BBQ sandwich using a recipe from GOOD Food online. The BBQ sandwich was developed by Alex Filipkowski and is made of grated tofu soaked in BBQ sauce and a cabbage-red onion-jalapeno slaw.  Our pronouncement: we will eat this burger again!

Dolsot Bi Bim Bap

I am a big fan of Bi Bim Bap... but I am an even BIGGER fan of Dolsot Bi Bim Bap. It is the same dish, but in Dolsot Bi Bim Bap, you put the dish in a hot stone bowl, so hot that the rice develop nice crackly crust. Due to my dietary restrictions, I can't simply go to a Korean restaurant if and when I crave for DBBB, thus I ended up buying my own stone bowl to make DBBB at home when the whims come. It does help that we have an amazing Korean super market on Telegraph and 27th that sells ready made vegetables for DBBB. It cuts down the prep time by an hour or so.... :). They're not cheap, but hey..... if it makes life easier, why not? :).

Tortillas!

An easy and delicious meal: toasted corn tortillas, avocado, tomatoes, grated cheese, and hummus dressed with olive oil and S&P.  We enjoyed it!
