Hey everyone! This week I was really craving Indian food! I normally don’t make Indian food that often, in-fact I really only made it a couple of times at home and ate it a couple of times at Indian restaurants. Anyway I saw a Red Lentil Dahl recipe on the The Post Punk Kitchen recipe corner a while ago. I have been meaning to make it for quite sometime and I finally made it this past Monday. This was the first time I made a Dahl. When I was making it I wasn’t sure I was going to like it because I was a bit skeptical of all the spices that were going in it. There were a lot of awesome spices in the Dahl. This dahl made my house smell so nice and fragrant! Now let’s get to the good part! After 40 minutes of cooking my first dahl was done! I made some brown basmati rice which I flavored with some cardamon and I also made some steamed broccoli to accompany my dahl. Now dahl isn’t the most good looking dish in the world but I tried to make it look nice. I plated everything up and started eating.

I was amazed at the flavor of the dahl! As I was eating it I could almost taste each spice I had put in it. It was so flavorful and delicious! Each day the dahl got better and better until it was all gone! Isa never let’s me down and I am so happy she created this awesome dahl recipe! I will definitely be making more dahl and Indian food frequently! I think I am hooked on Indian food now! I really suggest making this recipe as soon as possible, it’s so good!
This week I also made some delicous pumpkin cookies which were testers for Isa and Terry’s upcomping cookie cookbook! These cookies are pure goodness! I enjoyed them so much, I ate the whole batch in less than 24 hours with a little help from my mom! The recipe only used half a can of pumpkin so I was left with more pumpkin!

Guess what I made?
I made the Awesome Pumpkin Muffins from Vegan with A Vengeance! I really wanted to take a picture of these but I ate almost all of them. These are my favorite muffins, they are so delicous! I wish I had a picture to show you all!
I do have another picture of my dog Madison in the snow this past Monday. It snowed a whole lot this Monday! We even got a snow day. It was a great chance to take some awesome photos but my brothers kept throwing snow on me in an attempt to ruin my camera so I had to go home! Luckily I got a few, this one really stood out of the few pictures I took of Madison.
Look at her head, it’s covered in snow! She had a blast in the snow on Monday! She really loves snow!

veganism is for lovers
I love the pumpkin cookies from VWaV but I gotta say, mine never looked like that. They look so thin and crisp (and pretty), did you add oats?
also-your dog is adorable.

Both your dahl & pumpkin cookies look fantastic. Does your family tend to eat the food you cook or are you cooking primarily for one?
My mom and dad are always at work when I cook. The only people home are my brother and grandparents. They don’t really tend to eat my most of my food that much because it’s too different for them. I like trying a lot of different types of recipes but when I make something familar to them than they eat it for example pasta. My family like lives off pasta! My brother is really picky, it’s really hard to impress him. Due to my super picky family I am mostly cooking for myself, but I wish they weren’t so picky!

I always use the same curry paste to make my Indian dishes- definitely time to venture out! I love Madison’s expression in the snow! LOL

Your pictures are gorgeous – really beautiful food. Might I suggest (in a completely friendly way, please understand) that the word you spelled “defiantly” means something completely different than what I think you meant, which is “definitely.”
Thank you so much for catching that, this is another reason you can’t trust your spell checker! Sorry about that everyone!
