No pics, but a decription and review :p

My newest group of cookbooks included The Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker, Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker and pre-ordering Nava Atlas' Vegan Express....

Yes, I was harsh on Mrs. Atlas' Vegetarian Celebrations in a past post, but this book way makes up for the Vegan shortcomings of that one :) (And again, I'll state that I do realize that the other is a Vegetarian book, not Vegan-- before a lynch mob heads this way)... We've tried two of the recipes, paired together at her suggestion. The Cheese Grits with Corn (made with Vegan Gourmet Cheddar) were a perfect accompaniment to the BBQ Tempeh Bacon with Black-Eyed Peas and Greens. Everyone in this family loved it, I used Swiss Chard for the greens and even my less-than-happy-with-greens 8 yr. old ate his serving and asked for more. So, thank you Ms. Atlas, from the gilleoin household. Bonus points to her for having one of my fave vegan blog mistresses create the photos for the book :)

Other recipes I'll be reviewing/posting pics of will come from the other books mentioned. Yes, I am a cookbook addict. I also have Vegan Family Favorites on its way here :)

I wish I could get my hands on Vegan Lunch Box, but the scammers selling used at Amazon have it priced at $101.00- $299.98 *sigh* And the second printing isn't coming out until the end of June! People who do that annoy me...it took me literally years to get a copy of Simply Heavenly for less than $35-$100 because of the same type of scammers. I finally found it at Alibris or Bigger Books or another shop like that for $13 plus shipping, so I paid what it would have cost brand new at B&N with the shipping included ($20). If you are looking for it right now, half.com has it for $16, though. It's a very good cookbook with a ton of vegan recipes, including mock meats/seafood and mock cheeses/dairy products :) We've liked all of the recipes I've made so far...

In the crock pot now- 3 Bean Chili with Chive Flecked Cornmeal Dumplings (I'm using scallions instead of chives, though) from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. Don't let Vegetarian dissuade you from getting this one if you are vegan, she lists the recipes with vegan alternatives, too.
In the oven- Ruth McClanahan's Creamy Tofu Cheeseless Cake from Compassionate Cook: Please don't Eat the Animals. I did jimmy around with the measurements to make less filling so it would fit in a store bought graham cracker crust. This will be topped with cherries MMmmmMMmm.
