i did, in fact use the sweet red onions in homemade veggie burgers. along with mushrooms, carrots, soy sauce, peanut butter, liquid smoke, texturized vegetable protein (TVP), tomato paste, vegetable broth and oat flour. mmm, mmm, good! they ended up more like sloppy garden burgers, but they were dee-licious! i swear that vegan with a vengeance is the best cookbook i have ever owned.

i shaved the asparagus and tossed it with meyer lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and pepper and created a beautiful salad.

i used the strawberries to make one of the most delicious quick breads i have ever made. along with turbinado sugar, flour, soda, cinnamon, egg replacer, unsweetened applesauce, canola oil and walnuts, i chopped up the basket of long-stemmed berries and baked at 350 for an hour...oh man. i ate nearly half the loaf last night!

*

i also made a tofu scramble, and aaron made some moroccan-spiced potatoes and beets and tomatoes and celery...holy bejeesus. they were amazing. and he also made some yellow rice.

we are set for the week with delicious and healthy food, and we christened his kitchen with the preparation of a local and vegan feast. **that's** what i call a weekend!
