If possible, how about what your kitchen looks like. I love seeing other vegan's kitchens - how they have their spices organized, their work areas, utensils, etc. It always give me ideas on how to improve my own kitchen space.

Steam cauliflower (this takes 10-15 mins, so start it in advance, everything else comes together really quickly)<BR/>2.. While it's steaming, begin cooking lentils, onions and peas in the water, about 5-10 mins. Do not overcook the lentils, they will fall apart and get mushy :(<BR/>3. Add spices (if you like it spicier, add more cayenne and cinnamon, less if you don't.. we like it with lots o' cumin!), margarine/oil, sweetener, salt.<BR/>4. Add cauliflower, and let the whole thing simmer for another 5 to 10 minsMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572397449405195846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-1145070300523264542006-04-14T22:05:00.000-05:002006-04-14T22:05:00.000-05:00Thoroughly enjoyed reading your garden plan.
