Orange belly

If you are what you eat, I'm pretty sure I've turned a bright shade of orange, considering what I spent the week cooking and then stuffing myself with. Most of this stuff was made with ingredients from the KEG farmshare, so all in all I'm feeling pretty downtown-elitist-smug-orange.

Homemade soup stock...Which was turned into carrot soup (carrots, onions, celery, thai red curry spice), served with some homemade bread - courtesy of the easy ol' bread machine.Then, squash risotto (kombucha squash, onions, parmesan, parsley, stock)!Both the carrot soup and the risotto were cooked in our new fancy shmancy dutch oven. Which I love with all my orange heart.Then this weekend, we went over to LJ and CB's place to make some homemade pierogi from the Rebar recipe. They were... amazingballs. Yam filling with leeks, scallions, and smoked gouda (which gives it a nice bacon-like flavour):Eddy rollin' out the dough with our pasta maker:Dough circles stamped out with love by L and C:Adorably finished (but unboiled) products!May you all be as happy and orange as me and mine were this week.

yuuuuummmmmmmm. That all looks super tasty tasty. I haven't had perogies in forever, I would love to make some vegan ones. Mother's dumplings is as close as I've been.

The recipe should be pretty veganizable, I would think- substitute liquid smoke and nutritional yeast for the gouda, and find a fresh vegan pasta recipe and you're golden!
