Shut the front door Vegan Brisket

I'm not ashamed to say it my mom makes an AMAZING brisket.  I think that's one of the dishes I miss the most since becoming vegan.  Perhaps it's the combo of childhood memories, comfort food and my mums cooking.

When I came across a recipe for red wine braised "brisket" I was thrilled.  This was calling to me demanding to be made.

Marbled Banana Bread

I am so backed up on my blog posts it's sad.  How is it almost March?  This quick post should show you there is lots more to come.  Hmmmm maybe a resolution should have been don't forget your blog.

Around the Christmas holiday(stop gasping yes I said Christmas) it was my turn to host our book club meeting.  I love a good brunch brunch.  Breakfast and lunch together AMAZING!  I was looking for a reason to make brunch for friends and now I had it.  The recipe hunt began!

Post punk kitchen has become a great resource when I am not at home but want to get the juices flowing.  The marbled banana bread, Swiss Chard Fritta (made with kale) and Raspberry Jam Swirl Crumbcake were the first few items that caught my eyes.

All of these turned out great!  Although I didn't get a picture I also made some grilled asparagus with some lemon on them.
