These potatoes taste exactly like a samosa. I’m not a huge potato eater (yams on the otherhand, I adore!) but I really did enjoy these, and it was great to not have to worry about making a dough like you would for a samosa. Same great flavour, though!
Sorry for the slowdown in posts (this has been sitting in my drafts folder for a long time now!), but I am in Whistler, like I said before. I’ll be home very soon, though (with a review on a fantastic restaurant I went …

(I’ll try to estimate how much of …

Happy Mother’s Day! This weekend it happened to be my mom’s birthday on Friday followed by Mother’s Day on Sunday! I really wanted to try out a recipe (or two!) from this month’s Cookbook of the Month- The Joy of Vegan Baking.

The Baked Pumpkin Pudding was nice but I really wished I had some vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream to go with it. The recipe suggested making the Tofu Whipped Topping to …
