Happy New Year - Chef Veggie Meal Delivery

It's a New Year and a New Decade!
We are happy to announce Chef Veggie's meal delivery service.
How is Chef Veggie's Meal Delivery Service different from others in town?  100% Vegetarian ingredients, veggie-owned and operated.
We use the best quality ingredients, including organic and locally grown veggies, whole grains, fresh herbs and spices, and healthy fats.  No franken-foods, preservatives, or artificial anything allowed!
We also are proud to use recyclable and compostable packaging endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association.
We will have 6 meals available each week and the delivery will be made in the Austin-area on Tuesday evenings.  We kick-off on January 6th, so be sure to place your order the Saturday before.

Also, remember if you refer anyone who decides to use my service, you get an automatic 10% off a cookdate/service.


Roasted Root Vegetable Gemelli

Use a large roasting pan (please don't use non-stick or Teflon)
or glass Pyrex dish.
Cut your roots to the desired size, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the amount.
Serve over your favorite pasta and sprinkle with locally-made Parmesan (we like Brazos Valley Cheese because it is rennet-free) or a vegan Parmesan alternative.  We sauteed the beet greens and added them to the top as well.
A happy winter meal!

Spicy Sabjimata

I recently got a fun gift in the mail from a soul dear to my heart.  She's the sweetest and spiciest thing in Florida's Alachua County.
Devadeva Mirel of Sabjimata is a chef/jam maker/blogger/mom extraordinaire.
It is hard to find someone with her energy level and desire to make heaps of food.

Anyway, she sent me a lovely and very snug "Spicy Italian" babydoll T with her namesake.   We both make  killer veggie sausage but I'm only married to a spicy italian.  She also sent a T-shirt for dear hubby with her "humanmade" logo.  It's great to support items made with love by human hands.
Some "I Cook for Krishna" aprons filled out the package.  Thanks for the reminder!

If you want to follow a frequently updated veggie foodie blog with snippets of exciting kitchen remodeling,  pictures of awesome food like gluten kabobs, the interesting past times of a super mom,
or need a chef for hire, visit Sabjimata today.
What is sabji you say?  A cute Hindi word for a vegetable preparation.  Have some!

Thanks again Devadeva...you are just like what our dear SP said about chutney:
Too hot to handle but too sweet to resist :) XOXOXO
Sorry for the delay...I'm just not very good at blogging, but thanks for being an inspiration!
