you say potato, i say po-tahhhhh-to

pictured above: spicy sweet potato salad, vegan baked beans,
and a chickpea cutlet-(from veganomicon)

nothing says summer like a good potato salad. regular potato salad has all that mayo and eggs in it so it's not a very heart healthy choice. well, i have a potato salad you can live with--and it doesn't taste like crap.
spicy sweet potato salad (makes 2-4 servings)

you'll need:

• 2 really big sweet potatoes
• a small bunch of kale
• about 1/2 c. of veganaise
• ms. dash chipotle blend
• 1T apple cider vinegar
• squirt of lime juice to taste
• sea salt to taste
• chili powder to taste

peel, cube, and boil those taters until tender. drain. in a separate pan, wash, chop, and ever so slightly steam the kale. drain that too. mix the taters and kale with the veganaise, vinegar, and ms. dash. add the lime, salt, and chili powder to your specs. you could also use some sweet chili sauce in place of the ms. dash if you feel like it and it would taste fine. i served mine with the baked beans and the chickpea cutlet-(which i had stored several cutlets in the freezer pre-morning sickness and was pleasantly surprised i had them during a freezer purge!) FYI: the chickpea cutlets hold up really well in the freezer, so if you ever make that recipe from v-con, know that you can stash a few in there and they come in handy for other meals. i like to eat mine with a little yellow mustid.

thanks so much for the love and support dear readers. it's so nice to be back and i got all misty eyed with the congrats, support, etc.
