Apple Pecan Pancakes

Pancakes for breakfast!  This version used coconut oil, silken tofu, rice milk and apples. The texture was a little to spongy for me.  I have had better luck with pancakes by using a non vegan recipe then converting it. The recipes meant to be vegan always seem to have texture problems.  These were served with broken pecans and maple syrup.

 For lunch I had a vegan sausage with tomatilla avocado salsa and ketchup.  Cabbage slaw was on the side.  Snacks during the day included a apple banana muffin and a seeded granola bar from Atwaters.  Yes, Atwaters is open in Canton now!

Lemon Garlic Asparagus

We had dinner at the Canton Waterfront Park.  It was the first of the First Thursdays concerts in the park.  Joan Osburn was the headliner.  Even though it rained during the middle act, it was a fun night.  I started out with a winter seasonal Woodchuck Cider.  As the night progressed, the lines to the beer tents were ridiculous, so I made a run to Chesapeake Wine Company for a rose.  For dinner we had Sundried Tomato Risotto and Lemon Garlic Asparagus in the park.  The risotto was made with short grain brown rice, onions, sundried tomatoes, basil and parsley.  The asparagus was roasted in the oven with the garlic, lemon, salt and pepper.

Breakfast was a sausage sandwich on some black pepper rolls that I made.  They were a basic yeast bread with a sponge and lots of pepper for flavor.  The condiments are ranch dressing and ketchup.

Black Pepper Roll

Lunch was a Black Bean tortilla.  I sauteed black beans, bell pepper, tomato and green onions.  The mix was on a spelt tortilla with some ranch dressing on top

I also had a simple mixed green salad with tomatilla avocado salsa. The salsa was more like a guacamole.  I processed onion, tomatillas, avocado
and jalapeno with some salt and pepper to season it.

For dinner that night we went to Jack's Bistro with some friends.  I had the vegan risotto.  This dish had mushrooms, carrot, and celery in it.  I also had a mixed drink and a glass of tempernillo.  Jack's has some the best cocktails in Baltimore. I had a dead weather which was made with rye, cherry almond syrup and bitters.

Later at home we had a glass of sparkling wine.
