Deconstructed Banh Mi Salad from Quick-Fix Vegan by Robin Robertson: And as per usual, she wanted this salad for dinner. She refuses to budge and pick something new. Thankfully, this salad is outstanding, so wonderful and fresh! I've posted it on the block a number of times before... because she always asks for it for her birthday!

Flourless Soy Sauce Brownies from To Asia, With Love by Hetty McKinnon: Normally I'd make a cake, but she had ordered one and sometimes there is just too much cake. So we settled for brownies instead. Completely different! This is a recipe she had previously marked as interested in when I got this cookbook, and it was agreed that they would make a wonderful cake stand-in! The recipe uses almond meal, and no flour, so is gluten free if you want it to be. It does require three large eggs, but I subbed in some Vegg Baking Egg Mix. These brownies were wonderful, and even better the next day after being kept in the fridge overnight. 10/10, recommend. On the night, I served them with some So Delicious cashew vanilla ice cream, and a candle stuck in the piece for the birthday girl.

Cute Kitty Photo of the Post
This photo may not look super Christmassy, but this was a quiet Christmas morning that Dim Sim and I spent together, before other people were awake. (Yes, her eye is runny. I also had to do a Christmas day trip to work to get her some ointment for conjunctivitis... not her favourite Christmas present!).

ReplyDeleteRobin Robertson is a gift to us all!
DeleteWhat a perfect birthday meal! Both the salad and brownies sound so delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt worked out great. Especially having a lighter salad for the main because those brownies were so rich!
DeleteAhhh, so interested to see your review of that brownie recipe! I'm glad it was such a winner. And always good to see how egg substitutes go when there's a lot of 'em in the recipe.
