We don't have any vegan babies yet, and probably won't for another few years, but I can't help wanting to buy this book prematurely! Just the cover makes me so happy, what great illustrations!

Sunday I wanted to make a nice dinner for our 1 year anniversary, but we had limited time and no groceries. I was going to make our typical quinoa dish, but instead I threw together something really delicious! I don't remember everything I put in, but I will try my best. I think this post is more for me to remember and so I can go back and rework the recipe. I would like to switch the zucchini for eggplant (sorry no photos, we ate it too fast)

Sautee onions in olive oil until golden, add garlic and tempeh. Add red wine and let simmer for a bit. Add zucchini and beets, then a can of diced tomatoes (with sauce). Add salt, pepper, and fresh basil. More wine to taste, and some balsamic vinegar too. Cover and let simmer for half hour.


Serve over quinoa and rice.
