Ok, this was a bit overdoing it. Unlike last time, I did not go completely vegan for the month of May, but hell I tried some super-delicious vegan dishes - all courtesy of Susan V - the mother of Fat Free Vegan - the most powerful vegan blog in the virtual cooking universe.
Susan´s fabulous blog has been nominated in my T&T event as Blog of the Month for May. Check out what I made - all highly recommended.
1) Okara Coconut Cookies - fantastic soft smelling wonderful cookies made of leftover soy beans. Susan, just like me makes her own tofu :-) and just like me, she ends up with tons of okara. Always ready for more recipes, this one was a complete keeper :-)
2) Panch Phoran Dal - advertised several times at my blog, this dish is simply unforgetable. Crunchy cauliflower coated in rich creamy sauce embedded with whole fried crispy spices. Aargh, ... oh, and it is spicy, too :-)
3) Brussel Sprouts with Basil and Garlic - I was quite impressed with the full-bodied taste this dish provided once ready. I have had a bag of sprouts in my freezer since early summer last year and coudnt just get rid of them. Now I wish there were some more as they were gone in a second :-)
4) Spicy Kasha Vegetable Salad - made with bulghur as I could not figure out what kasha was (and I still cannot). Being a true Slavic root, kasha literally means porridge, so that is where I got lost.. regardless, it was a great - My Tabbouleh-like salad, full of flavor, aroma and freshness :-)
5) Spicy Red Pepper Hummus - by far one of my most favorite. I am a hummus freak and whenever there is a hummus recipe featured in my T&T event, I am trying it. This one was so robust, flavored and with the addition of my own home-made Harissa paste, super spicy, too :-)
You still have 7 days left, so kschh-kschh into the kitchen ;-) Check out this month´s hostess Vaishali of Holy Cow! for more details.

Mmm, those are some delicious sounding recipes. Especially that hummus. Oh how I love hummus!
I love your recipes, everything is looking so yummy! :)
Kasha is buckwheat groats, such as used in "Kasha Varnishki" with bowtie pasta.
I like it with lots of vegetables, mushrooms and provolone cheese melted over the top. Yum!
Everything sounds wonderful. I have made something from Susan's blog and will post about it soon.
Lovely vegan recipes!
Fat Free Vegan Kitchen was one of the first vegan blog I found in the web when I began my vegan journey. And as in your case, it helped me a lot too =)
I am sure the next time you are going to succeed with you vegan challenge (if you try it again). Getting familiar with great vegan dishes is very useful to help with the transition.
