nnIsn’t that just what you think of when you envision a Valentine’s Day meal? Here in casa de Cait & Mike, you do. First up, Mike’s beloved tempeh reubens again. I had forgotten just how dang delicious that vegan russian dressing is, mmmm! Almost makes up for the scary sauerkraut.nnI then took one of Mike’s favorite veggies, the brussel sprout, and made the ultimate sandwich side, the chip. Recipe is so simple, peel off about 8-10 of the outer leaves of the sprout (the little ones on the inside may burn too easy), toss with olive oil, salt & pepper. Lay on a baking sheet in oven at 325 for about 15 mins, shake and put back in for 5 more or until crispy & lightly browned. Voila, a perfect sandwich pairing. (Of course, don’t waste the inside of the sprouts, just toss them on the baking sheet too)nnnnFor dessert I knew I wanted to do something with strawberries, but as my mom and I both say, fruit is not a dessert. At least not on it’s own. So I went searching for something to up the decadence factor. This recipe for Vegan Chocolate Chip Cheesecake fit the bill nicely. Simply mouthwatering. Happy Valentine’s Day!nn
