Comfort Food

In times of trouble, our broken spirits need to be tended to and restored. As we have already posted, music is one way of soul mending, another might be going for a walk or a drive, another might be motion pictures, but yet another means to restoration is one that we participate in constantly and universally, often taking its value for granted. Together, we eat. Let us eat in these times for comfort and hope and replenish the emptiness that can sometimes overtake us. Please use our menu as a model for your own time of bringing it to the table, and letting it all out. We have provided you a number of recipes to use in the preparation of some uber-comfort foods. Stickin' to your ribs style solace, folks! Our entirely vegan menu for the evening is as follow:

SUSAN'S SEITAN CUTLETS


GARLIC MASHED POTATOES WITH "CHIK'N" GRAVY




SPICY MAC'N'CHEEZ BAKE


OREO CUPCAKES / BANANA SPLIT CUPCAKES
Adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.




BANANA PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE


While these can be great alone-time recipes when you are feeling low, they can also be great to share with friends. When you are ready to leave the house, try enjoying these recipes in the company of some friends potluck-style! Sometimes good food and good friends can be just the ticket!
