What’s for dinner?

 The Butterfly:

Mixed beans. We’re supposed to eat black-eyed peas but I loathe them. The few in our bean mix will have to do all the lucky work this year. 😁 Collard greens (sautéed until wilted)-green for the color of our money. Cornbread-supposedly the color of gold. And some leftover Christmas stocking candy for dessert.

Oooh. I think I've heard of beans being lucky for New Year's, but I can't remember from which culture. I've always wanted to try cornbread; it sounds delicious.

vegan lasagna soup 2 different ways. class preferred almond butter and milk option over cashew butter and milk option (cashew more a neutral flavoring)

cooking class at library (next door) today. about 20 attended

dunk crusty/toasted bread in 👍🏻. if want to add vegetables adjust broth or water

I’ve made cashew cream lasagna soup a couple of times.  It is decadently good.  😋

today was sweet potato fries and teriyaki baked tofu ,..  they went Fine together but a bit weird.   not sure why he got me sweet potato fries , they were ok but i prefer sweet potatoes browned in a skillet with garlic n butter instead.  

tonight i try to do a recipe from my country, Brazil, i always bought because it difficult to do, but i did in my house and it tastes delicious. Is a traditional Afro-Brazilian street food from my city, Bahia. essentially a  deep-fried fritter made from mashed black- eyed peas and a oil called "dendê", is also made from onions, garlic and often slipt open and stuffed with fillings like tomato and a creamy called "vatapá", it can comes dried shrimp, if you want spicy sauce and a lil salad. its open with all fillings like a hamburger, it so yummy, and if you have the chance to try it, you will love it!
