Easter Dinner and BBQ Tofu

First, for Easter Dinner, I put together this little appetizer, using Veganomicon's Walnut-Mushroom Pate stuffed into mini bell pepper halves, then baked until crispy around the edges and sprinkled with fresh parlsey. We really loved these...Matt scooped up the leftover pate with crackers then pretended to lick the empty bowl. Yummy! Next was this beautiful pasta dish from Robin Robertson's Vegan Planet. Tomatoes, zuchinni, chickpeas, and fresh basil over penne. I served balsamic vinegar and chopped kalamata olives on the side. This would be fantastic cold in the lunchbox!
Of course, with spring being newly sprung, we had to have fresh asparagus next to our pasta.
For dinner tonight, wemade some awesome BBQ Tofu. I had mine as-is, and Matt made his into a sandwich on a burger bun with sliced onion and pickles. Mashed potatoes with lots of fresh chives is a no-brainer.

Mine was the vegan take on the McRib. Is it possible to be white trash chic when you yourself are white trash? Anyway, in all honesty I feel I had a better chance of having traces of meat in my sandwich than the "processed the hell out of" McDonald's version.
