this weekend was a great food festival! on friday night, we went to the lazy goat in downtown greenville for our anniversary--that was where we went on our first date--and the meal was amazing. the truffle fries were delicious as was the risotto that the chef prepared especially for me after i told the server i was a gluten-free vegetarian. it was honestly one of the best meals that i have ever had and the company was of course wonderful. :)
then on saturday i spent some quality time in the kitchen. my batch of hummus didn't come out as well as the first one, but the tex-mex quinoa was great. with the left over black beans and dr. mcdougall's black bean soup, i made up a little creation of my own--vegetarian, gluten-free bean dip! to the 1/2 of the box that was left and the approximately 1 can worth of black beans, i added a can of great northern beans (drained), some salsa, and some savory, then threw it all in the food processor...voilà! i must say, it tasted very good for something that was, shall we say, a bit aimless...
i also made up some gluten-free spaghetti as well as some brown rice with veggies and quorn. all great things for lunch and dinner. i started to make a gluten-free vegetarian lasagna last night with some tinkyada noodles that i found at wal-mart (of all places!), but couldn't get the food processor to work, so that was shelved until another try tonight. at least all of the ingredients are ready!
