Yesterday my family had their annual "reunion" and I absolutely knew there would be very little, if anything, for this new vegan to eat.... So I had to make some treats and introduce my lovely omni family members to the wonder that is... food... that tastes like food... Now there's a shocker! I made a couple different kinds of cookies and a pasta salad. I have a ton of leftovers so that pasta salad will make an appearance in almost every meal I have.
And this pasta goodness is really easy to make and delicious!
I used tri color bow-tie noodles to add a little something extra, threw in some chopped up broccoli, cauliflower, green pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and black olives, and tossed everything with a light coating of garlic Italian dressing. Light and perfect for summer.
I decided cookies would be another really easy thing to make and that pretty much everyone enjoys a good cookie. So I looked up a few recipes online for chocolate chip, sugar, and peanut butter cookies! Easy as pie... or cookies... The peanut butter cookies turned out horribly and were promptly disposed of. But the other two were fantastic! Everyone loved them, especially the little kids that needed refueling after their marathon of tag and hide-and-seek.
I had a fantastic day making these and an even better time eating them. As weird as my family may be... they're all pretty fun to be around. Usually. :-P
