La Dolce Vegan Challenge: This "catching up" business has got to stop.

Another crazy week of rehearsals before opening, another week of leaving all of the recipes to the last minute (!). Yesterday (Saturday) I made a marathon 5 recipes. It's 10:21 p.m., I just got home from rehearsal, and the cat chewed through yet another one of my power cords for my laptop and I'm on 46% battery, so this will be short and sweet - I didn't even have time to Instagram all the pretty pictures! At least I know I will have food to eat during the frantic period between now and when the show opens on Thursday! So here goes:

Wolffie's Delicious Salad Dressing. A little too cumin-y for me.

Kalamata Olive and Sundried Tomato Soda Bread. A surprise winner. I added the sunflower seeds, and I used a food processor to chop the tomatoes and olives very finely. Delicious!

Sloppy Janes. I didn't have a green pepper so I used celery, and I only had half a can of tomato sauce so I used fresh tomatoes from my weekly vegetable delivery as well. Made 'em extra sloppy!

Marianne's Goulash. I used rice noodles. The "oomph" spice mix was great - very spicy!

Chunky corn chowder. Used fresh Chilliwack corn from my vegetable delivery.


Mixed Berry Puddin'. The idea of berry pudding was absolutely abhorrent to me, but actually, it was great. I would definitely make this again. I used up some frozen berries I had kicking around, and they worked just fine.
