We are Cristen and Miguel. We live in Austin, Texas. We like to feed everyone. We also like to spread the word about just how delicious vegan food can be. We do this on Sundays.

Here is how our potluck works:

1. We post the theme, along with any other Sunday dinner updates.
2. You post a comment saying what you plan to bring.
3. Show up Sunday with your own plate, cup, utensils, hang out with nice people and eat good food.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 every week.

If you have doubts about your vegan chef abilities, don't worry. We've provided a list of recipe links, vegan info, and helpful resources to get you started. You can also check out our vegan cooking blog.

If you just happened across this blog and have no idea where to go, send us an e-mail (cristenrene@gmail.com) and we'll give you directions.

This Week--Sunday, September 30

This week we're having a soup and salad bar.
We're making broccoli cheese soup (vegan version, of course).

Please bring a soup, salad, or salad topping. Please post what you plan to bring, so we have a variety of things. The goal is to make salads that aren't boring like this:



If you're unsure of what to bring, here are some things we absolutely need:
Bunches of spinach
Several heads of lettuce (the good kind, not iceberg)
Lots of nuts
Sprouts
Vegan salad dressing (Annie's Goddess Dressing, which is sold at places like Wheatsville and Central Market is great).
Basalmic Vinegar
Olive Oil

If you'd rather make something, you can find good salad/soup ideas here or here.

I'm going to bring the fabulous cactus salad I make because it is Paloma's favorite.

1. In big soup pot, saute the onion. Then add vegetable stock, yams, garbanzoes, rice, and salt; simmer for 45 minutes.
2. In small bowl, blend the pb with some liquid from the stew to make a smooth paste.
3. Stir the pb mixture into the stew with the collards (or whatever green you're using)and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Add lemon juice, pepper, Braggs, and chili sauce if you wanna.
5. All done.
